SUMMARY:
The intent of this proposed amendment is to provide a more uniformed process regarding the landscape requirements and submittals. This amendment will help reduce the cost to the developers when installing landscape and reduce the cost of future municipal maintenance.
The current regulations specify the location and amount of required landscape. Every development is different and sometimes requiring the specific amount of landscape on public right-of-way creates a burden to staff for future maintenance.
Rather than giving discretion to staff to deviate from the City Code requirements, this amendment allows staff to negotiate with the developer a design that looks good and requires minimum maintenance. Once staff and the developer agree on a design, it will be presented to City Council at the time of approval of the development either through a rezoning, conditional use, or subdivision plat.
CITIZEN REVIEW MEETING:
The Citizen Review Meeting was held on August 7, 2018, at City Hall Council Chambers at 6:00 P.M. The intent of this meeting was to allow the public to learn about the project, ask questions, and express comments. There were no members of the public present in regards to this case.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for this item at their Regular Meeting of August 14, 2018, at City Hall Council Chambers. The Commission recommended approval of this request.
