also requested, at this time, permission to erect a sight -proof fence
at a vacant lot, NE corner of 9th. Street and Maple Avenue, to store
and use his welding equipment. The Board asked the Building Official
to check with the neighboring T.V. Repair business when the welding
equipment is being used to determine if it will cause interference.
The discussion on landscape requirements for a possible recommendation
for adoption of a Landscaping Ordinance was the next item, tabled from
April 3, 1975 meeting. After discussion regarding the need for such an
ordinance, it was decided to notify the City Commission that the Planning
and Zoning Board feels Chapter V., Page 9, Development Guidelines,
August, 1973 is sufficient for landscaping requirements, and Zoning
Ordinance, Article VIII, Section 6, Paragraph 2, last sentence, is
sufficient authorization to enforce the Guidelines, and request a ruling
from the City Attorney.
The Building Official reported that some changes to the Zoning Ordinance
are in order. A Public Hearing was set for May 1, 1975, to consider the
following changes:
ArticIt V. Use Provisions
Section 8. RC -1 Restricted Commercial District
B. Conditional Uses Permitted
Add: (8) Single - family and two - family dwellings.
Section 91 GC -2, General Commercial District
B. Conditional Uses Permitted
Amend to read:
(1) Any conditional use permitted in the RC -1, Restricted
Commercial District, or any use permitted in RI -1,
Restricted Industrial District.
Add: (9) Multiple - family housing structures conforming to the
requirements of the RMOI District.
The purpose of the change is to allow the reconstruction, or new con-
struction of dw&lling units in commercial zones as conditional uses.
It was also discussed that perhaps the section on factory -built homes
may need to be changed. The present wording was designed to effect
control over the type of homes used, and because of the improvement in
design, the wording may need to be changed. The item was tabled until
the next meeting.
The next item for discussion was the amendment on the water recharge
area. A Public Hearing was set for May 1, 1975, to consider the
following change to the Zoning Ordinance on water recharge:
