Ladd, Building Official )6 11 Date: 09/07/1995 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 Villages 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 rading. Thanks. SDL:pm Attachments • • • ( • ORDINANCE NO.
