<br />Staff would ask the council to determine if these specific amendments should be eliminated due to their
<br />potential benefit in property value.
<br />
<br />The council identified specific amendments which posed concern, as written. In response, staff is
<br />recommending revisions to the following proposed amendments:
<br />?
<br /> #14; 9.2173(10)(c)
<br />: Ground floor window exemption related to loading docks: Revised
<br />language would limit the extent of the exemption.
<br />?
<br /> #21; 9.2760(table)
<br />: Conflict between 16,000 sq. ft. requirement for fourplex lots and 13,500 sq.
<br />ft. maximum lot size: Revised language requires at least a duplex to ensure adequate density.
<br />?
<br /> #57; 9.6810(4)
<br />: Exception to 600 ft. block length requirement: Revised language limits the
<br />extent of the exception.
<br />?
<br /> #59; 9.6820(4)
<br />: Cul-de-sac standards: Revision would add back EC 9.6820(4) which limits the
<br />length of cul-de-sacs to no more than 400 feet.
<br />?
<br /> Section 74
<br />: Reference to attached figures: Revised language references all attached figures that
<br />are either being amended or added.
<br />
<br />The attached memo from staff provides the specific proposed revisions to each of the code amendments
<br />listed above. In addition, staff has attached draft motions which address these revisions.
<br />
<br />As the council deliberates on the proposed amendments, staff recommends that the council first
<br />determine which amendments, if any, should be eliminated from consideration. Following that, staff
<br />would ask the council to consider adoption of the ordinance with the recommended revisions listed
<br />above.
