17-3911 AGENDAITEM May 8, 2017 Page 2 Interim Use Text. Note that the change recommended by the Planning Commission in Section 78-1728 for Council review of an 11UP at least annually has been made; also, in 78-1727, the condition that 'the property must be in compliance with all applicable City Code standards' has been removed since that is inherently in conflict with the flexibility offered via the Interim Use Permit provisions. RR -113 Text. The language of the RR -113 amendment has also been revised slightly from the version reviewed by the PC to reflect the intent that the use must be for a project in Orono, that the use must be on a property adjacent to the public road being constructed or reconstructed, and the submitted plans must also include a schedule and timing of the proposed activity. As currently drafted, the RR- I B amendment does not contain certain specific parameters for the construction staging use; that could be added if Council desires. The parameters for discussion include: A minimum separation distance from nearby residential structures or lot lines Minimum lot size Requirements for site and adjacent road maintenance, and traffic control measures Allowed only for government sponsore public improvement projects The Council has wide latitude to approve or deny an Interim Use Permit for any given site, and may establish any conditions for approval which the Council deems appropriate. The above bulleted limitations and conditions could be: - inserted into the RR -IB ordinance as required standards (would require a determination now as to separation distance or lot size); or - inserted as simply a listing of parameters (without numerical distances or sizes) to be discussed in reviewing each IUP request If Council wishes to establish appropriate numerical standards now, then a discussion should be held regarding minimum lot size and separation distances, COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Review the proposed use and the draft ordinance text amendments. If Council concludes that the Zoning Code should be amended to allow for Interim Uses, and that the proposed road construction & staging activity should be an allowed interim use in the RR- I B zoning district when all appropriate conditions are met, then the attached Ordinances should be considered for adoption or amendment. If Council determines that additional consideration of the requested amendments is needed, then tabling would be in order. If a referral to Planning Commission is desired, then specific direction for such additional review should be provided. ODtions for Action 1. Motion to adopt or amend the attached ordinances: - An Ordinance Amending the Orono Municipal Zoning Code by Adding Article XIV Regarding Interim Uses. - An Ordinance Amending the Orono Municipal Zoning Code by Adding Section 78-421 Regarding Interim Uses Within the RR-lB Zoning District 2.
