PLANNING DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT FOR
OCTOBER 9, 1973
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT ON: DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL ZONES REVISION
CASE NO: ZCA - 52
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Background; Staff did present a proposed program to the Planning Commission
on August 24, 1973» for the proposed complete revision of Title 21 of the
Municipal Ordinance Code which is known as the Zoning Ordinance, (see attached)
B. Proposal; The first phase in this program is the revision of all the
Residential Zone Districts. Staff has prepared a draft Ordinance which attempts
to make this revision, (see attached)
C. "Work Program; As it is presently envisioned, this revision will be
discussed at the Planning Commission meeting of October 9 and 23 or 30, 1973
and a public hearing on the matter would be held on November 13, 1973. It is
hoped that these three meetings in conjunction with as many workshop sessions
that are necessary will permit sufficient public impact regarding this proposed
Ordinance revision. Staff has mailed copies to various local organizations
that deal with these zones on a day to day basis for their imput. (see attached
list) As the discussions progress, the Planning Commission may want to expand
this list to include other organiztions.
II. DISPOSITION OF ZCA - 48. FRONT YARD SETBACKS
The Planning Commission has previously discussed and tabled a proposed
Ordinance Amendment that deals with the front yard setbacks in the R-Zone.
Rather than to consider this area seperately, staff has included this revision
into the total R—Zone revision and would therefore recommend that the Planning
Commission CLOSE Case No. ZCA - 48 at this time.
III. DISCUSSION OF MAJOR CHANGES PROPOSED
In order to understand the major differences between the present R-Zones
and the proposed R-Zones revision, staff has prepared the following comparison
chart. Said chart does not attempt to cover.every change proposed in minute
detail, rather only describes the major differences.
