BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: Based on citizen feedback and other factors, the need has arisen for additional language to be added to the Local Provisions for Planning District 26 (Section 2.3.26) in order to address specific areas of concern. The concerns at issue include accessory dwellings, setbacks, the availability of zoning districts and the limiting of uses. As a result, staff has prepared new language which would address these issues. A draft of the proposed text amendments is attached to this agenda item with additions and deletions highlighted in red.
Staff respectfully requests permission to begin advertising the proposed text amendments. If permission is granted, staff will schedule the amendments for consideration by the Planning Commission at its March 5, 2020 meeting. The amendments would then be brought before the County Commission for a public hearing in April.
