STAFF PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Wayne Sabo, Planning Director, presented staffs report. Staff had been directed by the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission to research the use of hotels/motels in General <br />Commercial zoning districts when adjacent to the residential zoning districts. This matter <br />was discussed in a workshop with the Commission on May 22.2007. <br /> <br />After research on the subject and comparing requirements of other cities in the area, staff <br />developed several options for the Commission to consider: <br /> <br />1. Add a footnote (No.4) to Table A, that the hotel/motel use is "Conditional" in the <br />General Commercial (GC) zones, when adjacent to residential uses; or <br /> <br />2. Apply additional yard setbacks (footnote #8) to Table S, commercial area <br />requirements, when adjacent to residential uses: <br /> <br />a) Minimum of 20' of open space adjacent to perimeter edges of the development. <br /> <br />b) Hotels/motels shall be setback a minimum of 100' from the residential property <br />line. <br /> <br />c) No secondary access shall be permitted off any residential street. <br /> <br />Staff recommended the Commission consider the first option, which would be to change <br />the hotel/motel use to "Conditional" in the General Commercial (GC) zones, when <br />adjacent to residential uses. <br />
