Section 16, Zero Lot Line District As the ordinance is currently written, lots developed under the "R-5.0" guidelines are required to provide side yard setbacks of 1 -foot and 11 -feet whereby all homes in a given subdivision are loaded toward one side of the lot and a minimum of 12 -feet of separation exists for all principal buildings between lots within the subdivision. In addition, a 6 -foot access easement must be provided on the 11 -foot side of a given lot so that the property owner on the adjacent lot may have access to his property on the 1 -foot side. Staff is 121603 4 0=91MAJ10.1 "01 increasingly receiving requests from residential developers wanting to center homes on lots with side yard setbacks that are a minimum of 6 -feet on each side of the lot. Allowing a side yard setback of 6 -feet on each side of the lot will still maintain the 12 -foot separation requirement and serve to reduce or totally eliminate the conflicts and disputes the result when one property owner fails to comply with the requirement that a 6 -foot access easement be maintained on the 11 -foot side of the lot. It should be noted that amending the side yard setback requirement to 6 -feet on each side of the lot for the "R-5.0" Zero -Lot -Line District would match that of the "R-7.5" Single Family District. Section 54, Masonry Requirements All zoning districts within the City have some masonry requirement for exterior wall construction except the following districts: "R-7.5", "R-12.5" and "R-20" Single Family Residential Districts. Currently, any non-residential property with an "HU Historic Subdistrict Overlay designation that does not meet the masonry requirement will require a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The Historic Preservation Commission develops criteria for each property considered for a "HU Historic Landmark overlay designation. This criteria includes such items as setbacks, driveway location and composition, parking, exterior finishes, lighting and other architectural embellishments. Staff finds it redundant to require a variance to the masonry standards when preservation criteria for a particular site is developed to preserve the historical significance of the property. Staff recommends exempting any building or structure from the masonry requirement that has received an "HU Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation and rely upon the preservation criteria developed for the site by the Historic Preservation Commission to regulate the exterior composition of any building or structures. Section 55, Performance Standards Section 55, Performance Standards was amended in 2001 to provide more meaningful and applicable development standards relative to noise and light and limit its impact on surrounding properties. In particular, lighting standards were developed to limit the amount of spillover onto surrounding properties and eliminate direct visibility of the lighting element or lens at a point five feet above the ground level from the property lines of the subject site under consideration. This particular part of the lighting regulations has been increasingly difficult and nearly impossible in some instances to comply with when non-residential property is developed adjacent to other existing developed non-residential property. On non-residential tracts of land with various grade levels, the topography makes it impossible to shield or locate a lighting standard where the lens is'not visible from the property line. It is Staff's opinion that meeting the lighting level requirements at the property line for non- residential zoned property achieves the goal of ensuring that the amount of light on a given site is not excessive or intrusive onto surrounding properties. Staff is recommending that the ordinance be amended to require the elimination of direct visibility of the lens measured five feet above ground level for all development adjacent to any residential zoning district(s) rather than all properties regardless of zoning designation. 121603 5 In the Commission's deliberation session, B J Wilson moved, with a second by Rob Undersander, to approve amendments to the Code Of Ordinances, Appendix D, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended Section 16, "R-5.0" Zero -Lot - Line District; Section 54, Masonry Requirements; and Section 55, Performance Standards. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Wilson, Undersander, St. John, and Jennings Nays: None END OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS FINAL PLAT APPLICATION OF LOT 6, BLOCK 1 DFW BUSINESS PARK Next for the Committee to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lot 6, Block 1, DFW Business Park submitted by Mostafa Setayesh and located along the south side of Ira E.
