TO: Mayor Butler and Council FROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator DATE: April 23, 1986 SUBJ: Proposed Zoning Amendment The following amendment was approved by the Planning Commission at a special meeting in February of this year. The original amendment was presented in August of 1985 at a public hearing before the Planning Commission. There has been little public interest in the various sections proposed for amendment. A. Definitions Commercial Operations - Operations where business is conducted by the sale or exchange of goods and/or services on site for money or other valuable consideration except for those provided for in the home occupation section. Need to define a commercial operation for the purpose of interpreting other sections of the code. Staff has underlined the last section because we question the need to address the commercial uses allowed under the home occupation ordinance cited in this specific definition section. Why not other quasi commercial uses cited in the code. Riding Academy - A building, structure. or other facility which is used for the instruction and training in care and handling for a fee or other valuable consideration. Stables and Barns - Private - A building or structure used or intended to be used i,r housing horses, mules, donkeys, or ponies belonging to the occupant of the property, and kept for noncommercial purposes. Riding Academy use is noted in the code but lacked direction in a definition. Note the 150 feet set..:ck from the nearest lot line has been omitted so as not to conflict with required setback standards recommended later in code amendment. These changes result much from the discussion surrounding the Kokesh application and the need to establish approved levels for such private/commercial operations. Yar-' 'equirements - Those requirements which relate exclusively to the Si f yard areas ,when such a--e required within specific zoning di. cts. Definition needed to distinguish between setback standards. Our code contains both setback and yard standards.
