Description
At tonight's meeting, the Town Council will consider action on two proposed amendments to the Code of Ordinances relative to growth and density in Town. Both options pertain to the same ordinance provisions so only one of these options could ultimately be adopted.
OPTION 1
Option 1 outlines proposed amendments to Residential A (RA) zoning district that modify the dimensional requirements for this district and makes two family and multi-family uses conditional uses.
The proposed amendments increase minimum lot size, lot width, maximum residential density, setback, and minimum net residential are per dwelling unit per lot requirements.
The amendments were drafted with a retroactive date of April 8, 2019. At the April 8 meeting, the Town Council modified the amendments to have a retroactivity date of 5/3/2019. Clarifying legal language has been added to the retroactivity footnotes.
