Explanation
AMENDMENT: CV97-059B
Ordinance #839-99, passed on April 19, 1999 (CV97-059A), amended Ordinance #178-98, passed on February 9, 1998 (CV97-059). The council variance specified a range of unit sizes with 64% of the units having less than 900 square feet of floor area, 33% of the units having floor area between 900-1200 square feet and 3% of the units having more than 1200 square feet. Forty-four of the units, which were planned as 1,199 square foot units, had 28 square feet of bay windows included, so that the units exceeded 1,200 square feet. This increased the percentage of units exceeding 1,200 square feet to more than 3%, which was inconsistent with the requirements of the adopted ordinance. This ordinance will change the ranges of unit sizes to accommodate the increase in size of 44 units due to the inclusion of the 28 square foot bay windows. The ordinance will adjust the middle range to allow units of 900 through 1,230 square feet, currently 900 square feet is not a permitted unit size in any of the ranges. The ordinance also increases the minimum square footage for 3% of units to more than 1,230.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
