Explanation
Rezoning Amendment Z98-066B
Ordinance #1582-00, passed July 10, 2000 (Z98-066A), amended an 11.2± acre L-M, Limited Manufacturing District that was proposed for limited commercial and industrial development, by extending the permitted depth of limited commercial uses along East Broad Street from 700-feet to 850-feet. That legislation established specific development standards addressing setbacks, landscaping, screening, exterior building materials, and lighting controls, but included a restriction that building height be limited to thirty-five feet within a Sixty-Foot Height District. This height restriction was not included in the original L-M District (Ordinance # 33-99, passed January 25, 1999 (Z98-066)). The applicant wishes to remove the height restriction to allow a multi-story structure. This ordinance will amend Ordinance #1582-00 by repealing Section 3, and replacing it with a new Section 3 with a modified limitation overlay text. All other use restrictions and development standards established by Ordinance #1582-00 will remain in effect.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
