<br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />Lot Coverage Rule <br />Zoning Ordinance Amendment <br />Page 3 of3 <br /> <br />ConclusionlRecommendation: <br /> <br />At the February 18, 2010, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff gave a <br />presentation, which provided information on the existing and proposed requirements for <br />lot coverage. Draft language for an ordinance is hereby submitted for review. <br /> <br />Staff recommends elevating the coverage criteria to a higher percentage of the lot for <br />single-family detached from 40% to 50% in Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning <br />district and other residential subdivisions with designated detention/drainage system <br />already in place. It is staff's opinion that the above measure will help builders to meet <br />the increasing demand for more accessible and livable homes while keeping a 55% <br />coverage factor for drainage intact within the City. <br /> <br />Actions available to the Commission are as follows: <br /> <br />· Recommend to Council, approval of the above amendment pertaining <br />to the lot coverage for single-family detached. <br />· Recommend to Council, approval of a revised version of the above <br />stated. <br />· Recommend to Council, denial of the proposed amendment. <br />· Table this item for further consideration by the Commission. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />-------~. -" ..... <br />
