Bradford, Village Manager FROM: Scott D. Ladd, Building Official pp DATE: October 3, 1990 OCR, lFP FSFOF � 11 OFF! F ?S N SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance No. 415 regarding certain changes and/or additions to the Zoning Regulations. Tom; proposed Ordinance No. 415 provides additions and/or changes to the Zoning Code as follows: 1. Revisions to the definitions of Building Line and �v�Slr� Subdivision in order to track the language of these /�,�►� same definitions as set forth in recently adopted Ord. No. 413 which amended the Subdivision C �, Regulations. 2. Addinq to the Zoning Code a definition for "Lot Pgq �� Split" in order to track Ord. No. 413 also. \ �C 3. Amending Section VII (D)t 6> & (7) by adding an additional special exception use, shopping centers, to the C-2 and C-3 Districts. It appears that the use "shopping center" was inadvertently deleted during major changes to the Zoning Code back in 1987, although it remained as a special exception use in the C-1 District. Without the "use" shopping center in the C-2 & C-3 Districts, all existing shopping centers in these Districts become nonconforming which means that they can continue to exist but cannot be structurally altered, extended or enlarged. This appears to fly in the face of recent Village -wide efforts to encourage the rebuilding, renovation and beautification of our downtown area and may impede the development of the Village master plan area. 4. Amending the off-street parking regulations at Section VIII (A) by adding a new paragraph prohibiting the use of commercial parking spaces as reserved spaces for certain individuals, businesses and/or property owners. This issue comes up from time to time and continues to be an enforcement problem. The current Zoning Code does not address "reserved" parking spaces, therefore, they are not allowed, but it would be easier to regulate and enforce if the suggested changes were adopted. r Page 2 Oct. 3, 1990 ------------ We have discovered that when taking a violation to the Code Enforcement Board, the process is much easier and better understood by potential violators if the alleged violation is clearly stated an'd actually set forth in the Code. 5. Amending Section XII, Sign Regulations, to prohibit the erection of "reserved" parking signs for the same reasons as stated in item 4 above. 6. Amending Section XIV (A)(8) by deleting the requirement that existing screen enclosures come before the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance when they are changed out to the new mansard roof style of screen enclosure. This change is at the request of certain Village residents. As you can see, Tom, all of these changes and additions are minimal and are in most cases housekeeping in nature. Please place Ordinance No. 415 on an upcoming agenda for first reading and discussion. Thank you.
