5. Submitted FEMA ordinance with codification of
city code
6. Do we want to zone out mobile home prior to
1976 code or not?
7. Mr. Weber will explain differences in parking
lot circulation drive
8. Separate recycling of metal
9. Conforming land uses
Mr. Weber stated that 95% of draft comments are
acceptable and agreeable. He explained R-3 mid or high
density is between single family and high density. Could
be put next to single family zones. Building Official
Marka stated this is what the PUD controls and how would
we incorporate on the zoning map. Mr. Weber stated the
map does not need to be done now and suggested all
attached housing be permitted only by conditional use
permit. This creates a zone that doesn't allow
apartments but does allow attached housing. Mr. Weber
should review and make preliminary recommendations as to
where to incorporate the zone.
