ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Community Development with a Request to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Amending Appendix A, the Unified Development Code, Relating to MANUFACTURED/MODULAR BUILDING SALES.
Body
BACKGROUND: Staff respectfully asks that we waive the first reading requirement for this text amendment. The petitioner has a property under contract on Pioneer Parkway that will only be allowed via a special use if the text amendment is passed. Petitioner Rick Ellis initially requested a text amendment to allow Manufactured/Modular Building Sales as a permitted use in the C-2 (Large Scale Commercial) district. Upon review, the Planning & Zoning Commission directed Staff to bring back the proposed use as a special use with performance standards.
Staff proposed the following performance standards:
1. Where this use is adjacent to any residential district, there shall be a 100 percent opaque eight-foot high visual barrier or screen on the property line abutting the residential zoning lot, provided such barrier or screen shall not restrict clear sight at any intersection or driveway. Or a planted transitional buffer yard in accordance with Section 8.2.9 is also allowed.
2. Building display area must be depicted on a site plan subject to Development Review Board approval.
3. All buildings and structures in the display area must be marked for sale, situated in an orderly manner and be placed on a hard surface.
4. Buildings displayed for sale cannot exceed 150 sq. ft. in size.
5. On-site staff is required during standard business hours.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 with 1 abstention to approve the revised text amendment for Manufactured/Modular Building Sales as a special use in the C-2 (Large Scale Commercial) district.
