CC Regular Session 7.4. Meeting Date: 01/26/2021 By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development Information Title: Introduce Ordinance #4�04J. #21-01 Amending City Code Sections 117-111 (R-1 Residential District) and 117-112 (R-2 Residential District) Clarifying Sub -districts based on Lot Size Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is administrative/housekeeping in nature. Based on recent applications of the newly created sub -districts allowing 65 foot wide lots and 50 foot wide lots 'by right', Staff is proposing a restructuring of City Code as it pertains to detached single-family lots. • Standards for 80 foot wide lot and 65 foot wide lots remain unchanged • Moves 50 foot wide lots from R-2 Residential District to R-1 Residential District • Consistent with actual net density • Standards remain unchanged • Clarifies that accessory structures are allowed • Moves 40 foot wide lots from R-3 Residential District to R-2 Residential District • Consistent with actual net density • Standards remain unchanged • Clarifies that R-3 Residential District is reserved for higher -density developments Notification: The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on January 7, 2021. The Public Hearing Notice was properly advertised in the Anoka County Union -Herald, the City's Official Newsletter. A notice is not required for this step. Observations/Alternatives: As noted above, there are no policy implications in this ordinance. This is a housekeeping amendment to establish a more logical structure and naming scheme for detached single-family districts. These recommended amendments are based on actual experience applying recent code changes. Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance #21-01. Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance #21-01.
