Item 6G
1
Ordinance No. 480-UUUU
If approved, the proposed ordinance would amend the following:
Change the name of the ‘RE’ district to ‘RE-5’;
Adopt accessory building standards for the ‘RE’ district that are similar
to those in ‘SF-1A’, ‘SF-1B’, and ‘SF-2’ districts;
Create and make available to owners of eligible property an ‘RE-7’, Single Family Residential Estate zoning district with a minimum
7 acre lot size.
2
Purpose
The name change from ‘RE’ to ‘RE-5’ The renaming is proposed in concert with the proposed ‘RE-7’ zoning district and would reflect the minimum 5 acre lot size in the current ‘RE’ district.
The revised accessory building standards allow current owners of property in the ‘RE’ district to construct accessory structures with more usable area and also requiring higher architectural
standards for buildings over 500 square feet.
3
Purpose
Creation of the ‘RE-7’ district would provide an additional option for owners of large properties in the city to maintain their rural estate characteristics.
