SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE—ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT
AMENDMENT TO SECTION 29.401(5) TO ELIMINATE
PROVISION (C) PERTAINING TO MORE THAN ONE SINGLE
FAMILY OR TWO-FAMILY STRUCTURES ON THE SAME LOT
On August 21, 2013 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to continue the request
for a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment for Section 29.401(5) to remove provision (c)
relating to the allowance for multiple Single Family and Two-Family structures on a lot
larger than one acre.
The Commission felt a continuation of the item was necessary to gain more information
regarding the background of the proposal and to further review any implications of the
proposed change to the code. Staff will be providing additional information to the
Commission and then will place the item back on the Planning and Zoning Commission
Agenda for the September 4, 2013 meeting. Staff is therefore requesting that this item
be continued to the September 10, 2013 City Council meeting.
