AM11 -04— AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX "D ", COMPREHENSIVE ZONING
ORDINANCE NO. 82 -73 AS AMENDED, SECTION 20, "R -TH" TOWNHOUSE
DISTRICT REGULATIONS; SECTION 21. "R -MF -1" MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT
REGULATIONS; SECTION 22, "R -MF -2" MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT REGULATIONS;
SECTION 41, "PD" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY; SECTION 45, CONCEPT
PLANS; SECTION 47 SITE PLAN REVIEW; SECTION 54, MASONRY
REQUIREMENTS AND SECTION 60 SIGN STANDARDS
On May 4, 2011, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a workshop to
discuss the current trends in multifamily development in the City and discussed possible
amendments to the ordinance to accommodate the changing state of multifamily
development in those areas that now require the use of the Planned Development
Overlay. Primarily the discussion centered on creating a mechanism to consider
varying from the ordinance in four key areas — density, open space, height, and
parking— without the use of a Planned Development Overlay. The Commission also
discussed the elimination of the "R -MF -1" Multifamily District since it is basically
obsolete given the current state of higher density projects that have recently been
approved. During the work session, it was generally agreed that a new conditional use
category could be created that could give the Commission and Council the ability to
consider and allow standards that vary from the above referenced categories.
A subsequent Commission discussion occurred at the June 21, 2011 meeting whereby
the Commission also included the front yard setback as an addition to the categories
that may be varied from through the conditional use process.
Section 22. "R -MF -2" Multifamily District has been amended accordingly by creating a
new subcategory within the Conditional Use section that will give the Commission and
Council the authority to recommend and approve standards that vary from the
established guidelines in Section 22 relative to density, open space, front yard setback
and height, and to Section 56, Off - Street Parking Requirements. Section 22 will also
be re- designated as the "R -MF" Multifamily District. All other relevant sections of the
zoning ordinance have also been amended eliminating the reference to the "R -MF -1"
Multifamily District and changing all references to the "R -MF -2" Multifamily District to
simply the "R -MF" Multifamily District.
