Ordinance to amend the Code of Ordinances Zoning and Site Plan Review Ordinance to permit subdivision identification signs in the Tidewater Master Plan District.

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

The Tidewater Homeowners Association is requesting a zoning amendment to permit signs at the entrances of the Tidewater Farm residential area.  Staff, at the request of Councilor King, have reviewed the ordinance and determined that the most efficient way to accommodate the signs is to amend the general provisions under Section 19-46 for subdivision identification signs rather than amend the Tidewater Master Plan and related documents. Since the introduction, staff have noted that the RB district was modified and the original language included HL (Highland Lake) and RD (Residential D) district.  It is recommended that these districts be added as part of this amendment Included is the introduction letter, minutes from the MRA hearing, and draft zoning amendment including the two districts.

Adjustments to the proposed language have been made based on feedback from the Council at the public hearing.  These changes are non-substantive.
