Subject: Draft Ordinances Amending the Zoning Ordinance,
Ordinance 355,as Amended
Tom attached are eighteen(18) sets of packets containing nine (9)proposed draft ordinances that
amend certain sections of the Zoning Ordinance or that add new sections to the Zoning
Ordinance. Some of the proposed changes, additions and/or deletions are housekeeping in
nature and are proposed amendments that we have been collecting over the past several years.
There are a couple of proposed ordinances that add new sections to our Zoning Ordinance, such
as:
• A new Section X(S),Home Occupations and a new Section X(R),
Multi-family Recyclable Material Facilities.
• There is a draft ordinance that proposes to abolish the current Board
of Adjustment and give those powers and duties to the Village Council.
• There is a proposed ordinance that amends the Sign Code to comply
with legislative changes regarding political signs.
• - There is a draft ordinance that revises the Site Plan Review
application process in an effort to streamline the process.
• The Village Attorney put together a draft ordinance that amends the
non-conforming use section of the Zoning Ordinance to provide some
relief to the R-3 district condos on Beach Road with regard to rebuilding
after a catastrophic event.
• There is a draft ordinance that amends the parking regulations in order to
strike a better balance between landscaped open space and parking spaces
by reducing the size requirement for parking spaces, changing the parking
space ratio (formula)to track current national trends and to offer a certain
percentage of compact parking spaces. All of these parking regulation
changes are being proposed in order to help our commercial and
multi-family communities to`achieve closer compliance with Ordinance
377,the Village's Landscape Code.
Attached immediately in back of each draft ordinance is a copy of the existing ordinance section
being amended and/or a copy of support documents that were used as the source from which
some or all of the draft ordinances were written. Please place the nine draft ordinances on the
September 14, 1995 Council meeting agenda for first reading. Thanks.
