Item 6A.presentationItem 4C is a Zoning Ordinance amendment that covers a number of
miscellaneous revisions and additions.
1
This ordinance provides for revisions to the sections listed here. The most
significant of the proposed changes are to the SF-1, SF-20, and Specific Use
Permit sections.
2
“LOT COVERAGE–The percentage of the total area of a lot occupied by the
base (first story or floor) of buildings located on the lot.”
3
Along the same lines as the previous two revisions, we are also proposing to
remove the 30 percent maximum lot coverage in residential P.U.D.s. As you
know, P.U.D.s adopt and amend the uses and regulations of a base zoning
district—such as SF-1A or SF-30. Unless otherwise provided by the PUD’s
regulations, the maximum lot coverage would default to the base zoning district.
Removing this phrase will eliminate some duplication and contradiction within
the ordinance.
4
Another minor revision to Section 30 is the removal of any residual references
to mixed use developments. READ “PURPOSE”
5
The revision to Section 33 is a simple modernization of terms to align with
current industry standards. We are changing the term “on-premise septic tank
and subsurface drainage field” to “on-site sewage facility ( or OSSF)” to allow
for more modern aerobic septic systems.
6
There are a few proposed revisions to Section 34 covering accessory uses.
The first is the removal of accessory buildings as a permitted use in non-
residential districts. This revision is in conjunction with the creation of a specific
use permit for accessory buildings in non-residential districts.
The second revision is a clarification concerning the permitted location of
noncommercial radio transmission antennas on a property.
The third revision is….
480-OOO –sale of alcohol previously required specific use permit approval;
480-OOO permitted sale of alcohol as a permitted accessory use and revised
the SUP requirement for bars and taverns (in C-3 & DT districts only).
7
The final revision to Section 34 is the removal of the separation requirement
between accessory buildings and the principal building and instead defer to the
International Building Code for separation requirements.
This should result in fewer ZBA variance cases and greater flexibility for
homeowners and home builders.
8
In Section 35 we are removing references to Section 38, Outside Storage,
which was repealed a number of years ago.
9
In the Downtown District we are allowing the sale of alcohol to be a permitted
accessory use to non-residential uses. This change was accidentally
overlooked with the approval of 480-OOO. We are also creating a specific use
permit requirement for accessory buildings in the DT district, pointing to Section
45 for development regulations for those buildings.
10
To the site plan submittal requirements of Section 40 we are adding a “color-
coded” landscape plan requirement. This is an example of a color-coded
landscape plan that city staff has done in the recent past….
11
And this is a recent example that an applicant has provided the city. Updates to
the Landscape Ordinance to standardize symbology and colors may follow in
the near future.
12
To Section 42 we are proposing to remove the list of recommended plat
material and instead defer to the Landscape Ordinance’s list, which is generally
more comprehensive.
