r~1 ---'\) ( )j flk ITEM 6.8 TO: FROM: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER ~~ DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1993 SUBJECT: CODE AMENDMENT FOR ZERO LOT LINE DEVELOPMENTS ISSUE Consider a request to amend the Zoning Ordinance allowing zero lot line developments as conditional uses in all multi-family, C2 (Office District), C3 (Highway Commercial), and industrial zones. ATTACHMENTS Ordinance No. 93 - ANALYSIS e Zero lot line developments occur when a building or parking area is constructed over a common property line. The ordinance presently allows zero lot line developments in all multi-family zoning districts, C-2 (office district), and C-3 (highway commercial) zoning districts. The proposed amendment would expand and include both the light and heavy industrial zoning districts and also apply to parking facilities. In addition, the provision allowing zero lot line developments would be moved from the Section entitled "Yard Regulations" and listed as a conditional use permit in each of the appropriate zoning districts. The primary purpose for this amendment is to clarify the administration of zero lot line developments and give the Planning Commission and City Council an opportunity to review and recommend appropriate conditions, if necessary, on each application. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approving the code amendment. There were no comments from the public on this item. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council approve the code amendment as presented in the attached ordinance. e P.O.
