(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.
These revisions are to provide clarification to the requirements for exterior wall finish in the C-2 (Local Commercial), OF-1 (General Office), PF-1 (Public Facilities - low intensity) and PF-2 (Public Facilities - medium intensity) zoning districts. The requirements are the same for all four districts.
The revision rearranges how the required materials and their percentages of the total exterior finish are expressed, to avoid confusion. The first paragraph lists only the materials that must comprise at least 50% of the exterior finish and the second paragraph only the materials that may comprise the remaining 50% of the exterior finish.
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.
