Staff has received several telephone calls from citizens concerning the development of commercial property adjacent to residential property, specifically regarding building height and "walk -out" basements. Currently the ordinance restricts the maximum height of buildings to one story or twenty feet when adjacent to single family residential districts zoned "R-20," "R-12.5," or "R-7.5." However, no restriction exists limiting the use of "walk- out" basements. This has led to the development of several office buildings that, although they meet the requirements of the ordinance, appear to be more than one story or twenty feet in height. Staff has reviewed the current ordinance and has developed performance standards for each commercial district that will restrict this development in the future. This will be accomplished by defining a "Floor Level" and restricting commercial development adjacent to single family zoning districts to one "Floor Level." These amendments will restrict the ability to develop single story commercial structures that appear to be multi -story adjacent to single family zoning districts. 060600 4 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 6, 2000 In the Commission's deliberation session, Chris Coy moved, with a second by Kevin Busbee to authorize staff to set a public hearing on the proposed amendments, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Martinez, Martin, Busbee and Murray Nays: None MINUTES — MAY 16, 2000 Next for the Commission to consider were the minutes of the May 16, 2000, Planning and Zoning joint public hearing.
