JAN 16 1985 �ooK t 468 <br />Staff memo and recommendation is as follows: <br />TO: The Honorable Members DATE: January 7, 1985 FILE: <br />of the Board of <br />County Commissioners <br />APPROVAL OF PROPOSED <br />SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL ZONING <br />DISTRICTS <br />FROM: <br />Robert M. Keating, AIc M REFERENCES: <br />Planning & Development Director <br />It is requested that the following item be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting on January 16, 1985. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />The draft Residential Zoning Districts represent a substan- <br />tial part of the County's new zoning code. By establishing <br />density limitations for various residential zoning dis- <br />tricts, this section of the new code will produce zoning <br />districts which conform to the County's Comprehensive Plan <br />land use densities. Specifically, this ordinance repeals <br />the County's existing residential categories, including the <br />agricultural, mobile home and transient mobile home dis- <br />tricts, and it creates the following districts: <br />A-1 Agricultural <br />RFD Rural Fringe Development District <br />RS -1, RS -3, RS -6, Single -Family Residential Districts <br />RT -6 Two Family Residential District <br />RM -3, RM -4, RM -6, RM -8, RM -10, RM -14 Multiple -Family <br />Residential Districts <br />RMH-6, RMH-8, Mobile Home Residential Districts <br />CRVP Commercial Recreational Vehicle Park District <br />In addition to establishing these new districts and specify- <br />ing size and dimension criteria for each district, the <br />ordinance lists permitted uses, uses requiring an adminis- <br />trative permit and special exception uses within each <br />district. It establishes a procedure for approving both <br />administrative permit and special exception uses, and it <br />identifies specific criteria which administrative approval <br />and special exception uses must meet prior to approval. <br />Three public workshop meetings have been held on the draft <br />residential zoning districts. At these meetings, members of <br />the public were invited to comment upon the proposed ordi- <br />nance. Where appropriate, recommendations made at these <br />workshops have been incorporated into the draft ordinance. <br />On December 13, 1984, a public hearing was held by the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission, and at that time the Commis- <br />sion, on a unanimous 5-0 vote recommended that the Board of <br />County Commissioners adopt the proposed residential zoning <br />districts. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />adopt the proposed Residential Zoning Districts. <br />14 <br />
