summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
This item was tabled at the 04/26/2016 and 10/25/2016 City Commission meetings. The proposed text amendments clarify the City’s allowance of accessory athletic courts and fields, as well as the customary fencing. A new accessory use is created which includes standards that ensure that the impacts of these courts on neighboring properties and abutting right-of-way are minimized. The customary fencing would be permitted up to 14 feet in height provided their location, materials, and transparency comply with additional standards. The text amendments were unanimously recommended at the March 23, 2016 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. (Please note: Due to the transition to the new agenda management software, the prior agenda coversheet has been provided as part of the backup material.)
