"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. 071911 6 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 19, 2011 With no further questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was closed.
