Summary

Introduction of amendments to the Code of Ordinances Sections 19-9, 19-10.1, 19-64.2, and 19-82 of the Code of Ordinances to change certain requirements related to residential development within the RB and RD Districts.

A public comment period will not be included with this item.

ACTION: Schedule public hearing.

Description

At tonight's meeting, the Town Council is introducing five amendments to the Code of Ordinances relative to growth and density in Town. Of those five, Options A-D pertain to the same ordinance provisions so only one of these options could ultimately be adopted. Option E, which pertains to the RB and RD districts, could be adopted alone or in conjunction with one of the other options.

OPTION E

These proposed amendments to Residential B and D (RB and RD) zoning districts modify the dimensional requirements for those districts by increasing minimum lot size, lot width, maximum residential density, setback, and minimum net residential area per dwelling unit per lot requirements.

These amendments are the same dimensional standards that were in place prior to the July 11, 2016 zoning amendments.

LPAC did not review the Residential B and D standards and did not offer a formal recommendation in this regard.
