MEMERMEM
i
Sofia Nelson provided a summary of the work the Unified Development Code Adv'so
Committee has done with the Unified Development Code land use charts and a
refresher of the lot size of each zoning district.
The discussion began with the residential uses table found in section 5.02.010 of the
'IfirwyWro to the
single-family detached use.
The discussion continued to the single-family, attached use. Nelson asked the
committee if the use should retain the limitation for the Old Town overlay. Committee
Member Hellmann agreed that the use should retain the limitation. Committee Member
Dickey agreed and provided a reason of lack of symmetry of the lots within the Old
Town Overlay. Chair Perthuis and Committee Member Baran agreed that the use
The discussion continued to the two-family and townhouse use. The committee did not
have recommendations of change for these uses.
The discussion continued to the multifamily, detached, and multifamily, attached, uses.
Nelson shared with the committee that the multifamily, detached, use will be removed at
the request of the city council. Committee Member Baran suggested to remove the
multifamily, attached, use from the 11, flex industrial, zoning district. Committee Member
Hellmann recommended to align the impervious cover in note E with standards set for
the MF2, high density multi -family, zoning district. Committee Member Dickey suggested
in removing the SUP, special use permit, from the BP, business park, zoning district.
The discussion continued to the manufacture housing and manufactured housing park
uses. The committee agreed that the uses should remain as they are.
The discussion continued to the accessory dwelling unit use. Committee Member
Rodocker explained that mortgage rules allow accessory dwelling units with
manufactured housing districts and suggested to add a SUP for the use. Committee
Member Baran suggested to permit the use in the RE, residential estate, and the AG,
agriculture, zoning districts due to lot sizes. Committee Member Dickey added to permit
the use in the TR, traditional residential, zoning districts because of the large lot sizes.
Nelson recommended limiting it in the suggested zoning districts as well as to limit the
use in the RS, residential suburban, zoning district. The committee agreed to the
recommendation.
The discussion continued to the second dwelling unit use. Committee Member Baran
recommended to align the definition of the use with state code and Committee Member
Dickey agreed.
The discussion continued to the upper -story residential use.
Ryan Clark, Long Range Senior Planner, suggested to remove the limitation regarding
the gross floor area. The committee agreed with the suggestion. Discussion on uses
allowed on the first floor. Nelson commented that staff will draft a limitation to include with
the upper -story residential use.
The discussion continued to the home -based business use. Committee Member Dickey
suggested in providing a different title and requested that staff review this use with regard
to residents who want to work and live in the same building. Nelson asked the committee
if they would like a drafted definition in which residents can work in the same structure
that they live in. The committee confirmed that they would want a drafted definition to
include work and a live in space.
Nelson recommended to skip the review of the group home classifications due to the
connection with state and federal laws. With that, the discussion moved to the remaining
uses of the group living sections of the residential use table found in section 5.02.010 of
the Unified Development Code. The committee agreed to leave the remainder of the use
chart as is due to conversations from earlier meetings.
Committee Member Baran requested that temporary or roll away businesses require
