Items from the Planning Commission
Commissioner Bryan Smith if the recommended zoning changes would be part of the council agenda for Monday, August 24, 2009. Commissioner Smith thought it would be a good idea to have representatives from the Planning Commission present at the meeting for this zoning change. It was agreed that the secretary would respond by email regarding the council agenda for Monday, August 24, 2009.
City Planner, Dan Van Petten mentioned that there appeared to be an issue with the zoning changes regarding duplexes in the zoning ordinance. In the RD-S area the principal uses are single family dwellings, however, in the intensity of uses it states the minimum lot area for duplexes shall be 4500 sq ft per unit. Where there should have been a defined use for duplexes is in R2 medium residential, it says single family, multiple family, except duplexes, garden apartments and townhouses. So in the R2 medium residential he suggest we strike “except duplexes” from that part of the ordinance. The commission agreed with the suggestion and asked Michael Webb, City Administrator to determine if a special public hearing should be called before the new ordinance was presented to the city council.
