FROM:. Jane R. Kee, City Planner RE: Zoning Ordinance Amendment '' During the annexation process this year, Council. directed staff to work. with the newly annexed residents to see if there were ways the City could. modify. ordinances to better accommodate their needs. Council :has already considered changes to the firearms ordinance to clarify what residents on large acreage tracts may and may not do. Council will. consider, in<January, changes to other sections of the City Code that will exempt agricultural areas. from licensing requirements for livestock and from enforcement of the weed ordinance and the "parking in the yard" ordinance. There is also a zoning ordinance amendment being.. proposed. This amendment requires a public hearing before and recommendation. from the P&Z. The proposed zoning ordinance amendment in your packet creates. two new zoning I districts. One is:designated A-OR. This is the district that will accommodate zoning requests by someone wishing to develop a new rural subdivision with the associated rural standards for streets and other infrastructure. Implementing his district will entail amendment to the subdivision regulations as well.. Subdivision amendments will be considered by Council in January or February of next year.. The other district is designated A-OX .and is designed to accommodate newly annexed areas that have scattered residences on properties: that do not meet many of the City's codes and ordinances, It is an alternativeto the A-O Agricultural Open designation, which is placed on the property upon annexation and has a minimum 5 acre lot requirement, and the R-1 Single Family designation which has much smaller minimum lot size requirements. A-OX has a minimum 2 acre lot size. This will-not make all lots conforming upon annexation,. but will greatly increase the number of those that will conform in lot size. Setbacks for this new A-OX district are similar to those in A-0 as are the. permitted uses. There is another .public hearing and then consideration. before the Council on January 24, 1996.
