Date: May 19,2010 for Discussion at May 25, 2010 Special Meeting
Re: Draft Section 4.0,Standards for Uses
Attached to this memo is a draft of Section 4.0, Standards for Uses. It will replace the current Section
10 of Chapter 2 of the Development Code. We have provided both a redlined version of the current
code and a clean copy of the revised section.
This section includes the standards for horse training facilities,keeping of animals,kennels
(commercial and private),livestock and livestock operations that were discussed at the May 4
meeting. The Commission and Council should review the changes to determine if the consensus at
that meeting is accurately reflected,and if the staff recommendations for several new or revised
standards(such as those for keeping chickens and other fowl on less than five-acre lots)are
acceptable.
You will notice that this section has been streamlined by removing duplicative language about zoning
districts,permit requirements, and references to other sections or codes. Duplicating this information
adds unnecessary length and can lead the reader to infer that all standards applicable to a particular use
are listed in this section when they are not. It also can lead to inconsistencies within the code which
can increase over time as one section is amended and another may not be. Some uses listed in the
current code were deleted because they will not be allowed in any zoning district,or there were no
specific standards provided for them that are not listed elsewhere in the code.
A draft Table of Contents for Chapter 2 of the Development Code(Zoning Regulations)has also been
provided,to show how Section 4 fits in with the rest of the chapter.
