<br />ISSUE STATEMENT
<br />
<br />The City Council is scheduled to take action on an ordinance concerning amendments to the Land Use
<br />Code (Chapter 9).
<br />
<br />
<br />BACKGROUND
<br />
<br />The City Council held a public hearing on this item on Monday, October 24, 2005. The council raised
<br />several questions regarding various proposed amendments. Staff has provided responses to these
<br />questions in two separate pieces of correspondence, both of which are attached. This includes an e-mail
<br />response to Councilor Bettman’s questions raised prior to the hearing, dated October 28, 2005, as well
<br />as a memo to the mayor and council responding to questions raised at the hearing.
<br />
<br />Following the close of the public hearing, the council left the record open for a week to allow submittal
<br />of additional testimony. Staff received two pieces of testimony, which are attached. Response to public
<br />testimony has also been included in the attached memo.
<br />
<br />At the public hearing, staff identified three amendments which could arguably increase property value.
<br />Staff’s response to council questions has identified a fourth amendment. They are as follows:
<br />?
<br />
<br /> #5: Legal lot definition: Based on the date deed is signed, rather than the date deed is recorded.
<br />?
<br />
<br />#22: Rowhouse lot width: Provides necessary (reduced) lot width requirement for rowhouse lots.
<br />?
<br />
<br />#42: Wholesale parking: Corrects inadvertent increase in parking requirement.
<br />?
<br />
<br />#44: Parking Structure landscaping: Modifies landscape standard for parking structures along
<br /> interior yards.
