RE:First Reading, Ordinance No. 2024-2293: Amending Chapter 7 of the LDC to Create an R-4 Coastal Cottage Zoning District

REQUEST:

The request is for City Council to conduct a first reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 7 of the Land Development Code to create an R-4 Coastal Cottage Zoning District. 



DISCUSSION
:

The City’s Land Development Code provides minimum development standards for residential lots including minimum lot size.  The City is in the process of annexing an area where the lots do not meet the City’s minimum standards.  The R-4 zoning district would create a district that would establish minimum lot size and development standards that would allow property owners to build on their lots without obtaining a variance. 

 

The Land Development Review Board approved this item at the regular meeting on August 17, 2023.



RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that City Council conduct the first reading as requested. 



BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

No funding is required for this item.
