Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance amending the Zoning and Development Code, Chapter 2, Article II, Sections 2-15 (d)(2), 2-16 (d)(2)(a), 2-17 (d)(1)(f), 2-18 (d)(2) and 2-19 (d)(2), Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), regarding garage door width. (First Reading)*
Body
The revisions to the City’s Code of Ordinances, creating the Zoning and Development Code, were published on October 1, 2018. Since that time, staff has identified changes which are intended to improve specific sections or to correct errors.
The code states that garage doors facing a public street shall not exceed a total of 18 feet in width. This has caused confusion as to whether the requirement is intended to limit the combined width of multiple garage doors or the width of individual garage doors. The revised code states that no single garage door facing a public street shall exceed 18 feet in width.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted 8-0 to recommend approval of this revision at their meeting on April 3, 2019. There were no speakers at the public hearing.
