~ \~ <br />~lk Ri <br />**ITEM 7.6.** <br />MEMORANDUM <br />V~~ TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />FROM: TROY LANGER, PLANNING INTERN <br />DATE: MARCH 6, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: CONSIDER INITIATION OF AN <br />ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE <br />ZERO LOT LINE DEVELOPMENT. <br />REQUEST <br />Amend the zero lot line development from a conditional use to a permitted <br />use. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Currently, a zero lot line development requires a conditional use permit. <br />• This requires the developer to receive approval through both the Planning <br />Commission and City Council before development may begin. This procedure <br />may extend the development process several months. <br />There have been several requests for this type of development in the recent <br />years and has become a somewhat uncomplicated issue. Since, this process <br />has become more standardized, staff has considered amending the current <br />code requirements to allow a zero lot line development with some set <br />standards as a permitted use. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />The Planning Commission discussed this item on February 28, 1995 and <br />recommend to proceed with the amendment by requesting action from the <br />City Council. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to begin the process <br />to amend the zero lot line development process from a conditional use to a <br />permitted use. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
