EXHIBIT 1 <br /> <br /> Text Amendment C98-02 (T) <br /> <br /> Flexible Front Setbacks for the MDR District's Customized Development Standards <br /> <br />Please trmd below possible options in making the MDR front setbacks more flexible (customized <br />development standards only). <br /> <br />Suggestion 1: <br /> <br />Since the side and rear setbacks are completely flexible, the front setbacks could be made <br />flexible as well. In other words, there wouldn't be any minimum or maximum setbacks required. <br />The developer could choose the setbacks he desired for the whole subdivision or just part of it. <br /> <br />For example, the developer could use 5' setbacks for townhouses in one part of the development, <br />10' setbacks for apartments in another section, and 25' setbacks for single family dwellings in <br />yet a third area. <br /> <br />Suggestion 2: <br /> <br />Allow the developer to use flexible front setbacks for a percentage of his property while <br />maintaining the 30' from setback for the remainder of the development. <br /> <br />For example, a developer would-be allowed to use flexible front setbacks on 30% of the lots (or <br />30% of the acreage) while being held to 30' from setbacks on the remainder 0f the d~v610pment. <br /> <br />PZC recommendation: <br /> <br />After considering the above suggestions, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended <br />reducing the required front setback from the existing 30' to 10'. This would provide some <br />additional flexibility in site design for the developer without permitting a 0' front setback. <br /> <br />Therefore, if the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation is accepted, the setbacks <br />for the customized development standards for the MDR district would be the following: <br /> <br />Minimum front setback 10' <br />Minimum side setback flexible <br />Minimum rear setback flexible <br /> <br />MDR Front Setbacks Text Amendment <br /> <br /> <br />
