SUBJECT: Consider a request for an amendment to Chapter 30, Zoning
Ordinance, by adding Section 30-23.2 to create the
Neighborhood Design Overlay District and the regulations that
would govern said overlay district
FILE: 719-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
During the summer of this year, staff met several times with the
Calder Place 1929 neighborhood. The purpose of these meetings was
to address concerns that a number of residents have brought up over
infill development and parking in the front yards. More specifically,
the residents have noticed that some new development within the
neighborhood has not been compatible with the existing homes as to
setbacks and scale.
At the neighborhood meetings, staff presented a number of
alternatives for the residents to consider. These alternatives included
addressing setbacks, scale and style only, creating a conservation
district or creating an historic district. It was the desire of the
neighborhood to initially address the setbacks, scale and parking in the
front yard issues (see petition).
The Neighborhood Design Overly District will include the 500 - 800
thth
