Presented By:  Adam Fletcher, City Planner
 
Recommendation and Review
Planning Commission recommended approval (6-0) of the Zoning Ordinance amendments that would modify Section 10-3-30.1, to better clarify the intent of the Parking Lot Landscaping regulations regarding parcels that are being redeveloped, and to provide flexibility for meeting side and rear lot line separation requirements for parking lots adjacent to existing buildings on adjoining lots having established zero lot line setbacks.  
 
Council tabled this item during the April 14, 2015 Council Meeting and Community Development staff forwarded the information on the proposed changes to the Shenandoah Valley Builders Association (SVBA) with a request that any comments be submitted by May 1, 2015, so they could be included in City Council's agenda packet.  After receiving no comments on the morning of May 1, 2015, contact again was made with the SVBA Executive Officer, Michelle Wilson-Johnson and a second notice was forwarded with no comments received.  No formal presentation will be given, but staff will be available for questions.
