A public comment period will not be included with this item as public comment was taken at an earlier date.
ACTION: Council action is anticipated.
Description
On July 11, 2016 the Town Council approved an omnibus amendment to the Zoning and Site Plan Review Ordinance to implement land use policy recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Part of these amendments adjusted the amount of Net Residential Area required for certain residential uses. When the policy was translated to ordinance language, a portion of the requirements were inadvertently left out. This amendment rectifies the error.
At its November 1, 2016, meeting the Planning Board, acting as the Town's designated Municipal Reviewing Authority, held a public hearing on these proposed amendments. A staff memo with the results of that hearing is attached. A letter of introduction from Councilors King and Hemphill and the proposed amendment language are also attached.
