What are the impacts of the revision in these text amendments – to be discussed that the Mar 9 Planning Commission meeting:
- adding more, possibly inappropriate, uses in Ag zones;
- loosening and removing existing rules for farm remainders, ag lots and ag clusters;
- allow public and private schools in ag zones (would promote the building of such facilities as as Global Mission Church);
- re-instituting the recently deleted provision for “farm lots” (allowing large estate lot subdivision);
- allowing “floating zone” type development without the need for floating zone approval;
- reduce lot size in resource conservation zones from 10 to 5 acres;
- reduce or eliminate special restrictions in Village Center zones;
- increase the allowable use of unsightly outdoor storage in GC and LI zones;
- loosen restrictions on building on flooding soils;
- loosen restrictions on the amount of on-site storage of flammable and combustible materials;
Please see this synopsis of each of the proposed zoning ordinance text amendments and chart.
