Subject ORDINANCE NO. 2834 - June 6, 1986
RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICT (CODE AMENDMENT NO. 86-6 )
Ordinance No. 2834 was scheduled for adoption at the June 2 , 1986
City Council meeting. However, the item was continued to the June
16, 1986 meeting because of the building heights issue which could
have a bearing on the ordinance.
At the June 2 , 1986 City Council meeting the building heights issue
was referred back to the Planning Commission for a report : An Ad
Hoc Committee was also formed to discuss and to prepare a
recommendation regarding building heights . The Ad Hoc Committee
recommended and the Planning Commission concurred that the building
heights be reduced from 30 feet to 25 feet (see attached Building
Heights chart ) . The reduction to 25 feet is reflected in Ordinance
No. 2834 which has been -introduced and has had its first reading .
Recommendation: Staff recommends the second reading of Ordinance
No. 2834 and its adoption at the June 16, 1986 City Council meeting.
