<br />Case #9: <br /> <br />Adopt Ordinance Amending Section 9.02 (Definitions) and 9.20.11 (R-2 <br />Medium Density Residential District) of the Zoning Chapter of City Code <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon reviewed that Council met on July 25, 2006, and <br />discussed the proposed ordinance amending the City Code to define and provide standards for <br />detached townhouses. The consensus was to require additional space between the units. A <br />minimum of 15 feet is proposed. The current minimum separation between single-family, <br />detached homes is 12 feet garage-to-garage and 16 feet garage-to-habitable.space. Establishing a <br />15 foot minimum for detached townhomes is comparable to the existing side-yard setbacks for <br />standard single-family lots. Mr. Trudgeon advised it should be noted that detached townhomes <br />will only be permitted in an R-2 district or in the R-1 district as a PUD not exceeding 4 units per <br />acre (as currently stated in the R-1 district regulations), after a rezoning to medium density <br />residential upon adoption of the proposed code. All applications for detached townhomes within <br />R-l single-family areas will be accompanied by an application for rezoning, under the proposed <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Strommen, to adopt Ordinance <br />#06-24 to amend Section 9.20.11 of the Zoning Chapter of City Code to include a definition and <br />performance standards for detached townhomes. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed by the Recording Secretary: <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec: aye <br />Councilmember Cook: aye <br />Councilmember Elvig: aye <br />Councilmember Jeffrey: aye <br />Councilmember Olson: aye <br />Councilmember Pearson: aye <br />Councilmember Strommen: aye <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Case #10: <br /> <br />Adopt Ordinance Amending Section 9.24 (Tree Preservation) of the Zoning <br />Chapter of City Code <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Ordinance #06- <br />25 amending City Code Section 9.24 (Tree Preservation). <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed by the Recording Secretary: <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec: aye <br />Councilmember Cook: aye <br />Councilmember Elvig: aye <br />Councilmember Jeffrey: aye <br />Councilmember Olson: aye <br />Councilmember Pearson: aye <br /> <br />City Council / August 8, 2006 <br />Page 18 of 29 <br />
