MULTI- FAMILY DISTRICT AND SECTION 22 "R -MF -2" MULTI - FAMILY DISTRICT
RELATIVE TO SECTION 21.F.6.b AND SECTION 221.61.
Next for the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider and take any necessary

21.1.1 and Section 22.1.1; and amendments to Section 21 and Section 22 relative to
Section 21.M.6. and Section 22.M.6.
A letter submitted by R. Jerry Stone, Jr. of Duke, Inc., have suggested that possible
amendments to Section 56, Parking Requirements, specifically for apartments,
condominiums, triplexes and fourplexes may be in order. Currently, the zoning
ordinance requires 2.5 parking spaces per unit for apartments, condominiums, triplexes
and fourplexes. If this amendment is approved, it would reduce the required parking
from 2.5 parking spaces per unit to 2.0 parking spaces per unit.
In addition, Section 21, "R -MF -1" Multi - Family District and Section 22, "R -MF -2" Multi -
Family District relative to Section 21.1.1 and Section 22.1.1, currently requires a
maximum of two (2) stories, not to exceed thirty -five (35) feet for the principal structure.
If this amendment is approved, it would increase the number of stories of the principal
structure to three (3) stories, not to exceed thirty -five (35) feet in height in the "R -MF -1"
Multi - Family District, and would increase the number of stories of the principal structure
to three (3) stories, as well as, increase the maximum height of the principal structure to
forty (40) feet in the "R -MF -2" Multi Family District.
Mr. Stone is also requesting to amend Section 21, "R -MF -1" Multi - Family District and
Section 22, "R -MF -2" Multi - Family District relative to Section 21.M.6. and Section
22.M.6., Design Requirements. The current ordinance requires a minimum distance
between any two (2) unattached buildings to be twenty (20) feet or the height of the
building whichever is greater or fifty (50) feet when located face -to face or back -to -back.
If this amendment is approved, it would allow any two (2) unattached buildings, located
10
P & Z Joint Public Hearing

face -to -end or back -to -end to be a minimum of thirty (30) feet apart or when located

to set a public hearing to consider amending Section 56, Off - Street Parking, Section 21,
