TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,
Chapter 30, to clarify that only one single family residence shall
be permitted as a primary use on a lot or parcel of land
FILE: 747-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
While policy has been to permit only one single family residence as a
primary use on a lot or parcel of land, the Zoning Ordinance does not
specifically state that. In order to make sure that the Zoning
Ordinance is clear on this particular issue, staff recommends the
following amendment:
Sec. 30-4. Definitions
(b) Definitions: In the interpretation of this Ordinance, the
following words and terms are to be used and interpreted
as defined hereinafter:
19. DWELLING, SINGLE FAMILY: A detached building having
accommodations for and occupied by not more than one
(1) family. Only one (1) single family dwelling
shall permitted as a primary use on a lot or parcel
of land.
