Please view the December 22 memo and info packet for more detail.
Below is a summary of the proposed amendments, based on the December 6 Committee meeting discussion:
1. Purpose, Intent Authority. A new sentence was added at the end of the first paragraph that mentions the 33'
Greenway easement.
2. Section 23H.01 District Boundaries. We have adjusted the district boundary from 90' to 88' from the
centerline to set the distance concurrent with the largest required setback.
3. Section 23H.05: Building Setbacks. Several revisions have been made to this section, as it has been the main
focus of discussion. The revisions are summarized as follows:
a. The Minimum Greenway Setback sections have been re- stated to measure the distance from the centerline.
b. Further language was created to clarify additional Principal Buildings.
Recommendation: The Dept. of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that the Committee discusses these items
and then forwards them to the January 18 Plan Commission meeting with a favorable recommendation.
