Follow-up to Text Amendment C98-02 (T) <br /> <br /> Flexible Front Setbacks for the MDR District's Customized Development Standards <br /> <br />On Monday, June 15, 1998, the Board of Commissioners passed an amendment to the <br />Zoning Ordinance providing developers some additional flexibility in their subdivision <br />design pertaining to the MDR district's customized development standards. The amendment <br />focuses on the front setbacks only. <br /> <br />From the three suggestions presented to the Board, Suggestion 2 was selected as follows: <br /> Suggestion 2: <br /> <br /> Allow the developer to use flexible front setbacks for a percentage of the property while <br /> maintaining the 30' front setback for the remainder of the development. <br /> <br />Although the Board supported the intent of the amendment, it did not choose the specific <br />percentage of a development that would be subject to flexible front setbacks. <br /> <br />Staff's recommendation is that 50% of the lots in a given development should be allowed to <br />use flexible front setbacks while the remaining 50% of the lots should be subject to the <br />existing 30' setback requirement. The specific language of the amendment as staff <br />recommends is italicized below: <br /> <br /> -Front... 50%flexible; 50% 30' <br /> -Side... fleMble <br /> .Rear...flexible <br /> <br />Since this amendment was already advertised and a public hearing held, the Board does not <br />need to hold an additional public hearing. <br /> <br />MDR Front Setbacks Text Amendment <br /> <br /> <br />
