CHAPTER 19 ARTICLE IV. POTABLE WATER SUPPLY:
-
Hr. Grimms communicated the need for an operational definition for
the wording, "substantially chanqed" in section 20-7. Vested
Rights, fourth line down.
Chairperson Hoffmann commented that because the entire paragraph on
vested rights is a legal section, it should be referred to the City
Attorney, and agreed that the wording, "substantially chanqed" be
defined.
Hr. Hopkins agreed that the section on "Vested Rights" be forwarded
to the Ci ty attorney also for the fact that the Ci ty had an
ordinance on "Vested Rights", and shoul d be in accordance wi th the
current ordinance.
The Board also questioned why paragraph (d) was eliminated from the
"Vested Rights" secti on on page 585 of the current Code.
Hr. Fernandez indicated a grammatical error at the end of line 2,
Section 20-7. Vested Rights. The word, OF should be changed to
show the word OR.
CHAPTER 20 ZONING Section 20-2. Basis for requlations and
requirements herein set forth.
Hr. Grimms informed the Board that he was going to strengthen the
language in this section in terms of the relationship of zoning to
the comprehensive plan.

districts and areas of square footage.
A minimum living area of 1,600 Scl. ft. was added in connection with
the R-1AAA Sinqle-family dwellinq district.
Mr. Fernandez questioned why the City had a large area on the map
zoned Planned Uni t Development (PUD), but was not incl uded in

Under the same section, 20-121, Hr. Stephens commented that Rustic
Residential and R-1AAA is NOT the same zoning category and must be
changed. Rl-AAA is already defined as 20,000 square foot lots.
After further discussion, Hr. Lein suggested, and the Board
concurred that Sections 20-121 through 20-181, pages 20-4 and 20-5
be sent back to Mr. Goodrow for review, and change so as to agree
with the comprehensive plan.
SECTION 20-254. PROHIBITED USES:
The word INORDINATELY will be replaced by the words, THAT ARE.
SECTION 20-107--10-~20:
Hr. Grimms noticed that there were no rules in the current Code for
determining zoning boundaries should there be any question. He
suggested the Board consider adding that as a new section 20-107.
,- Discussion. Mr. Grimms also pointed out that the scale on the map
shows one (1) inch to 500, and should be one (1) inch to 400 as
indicated as a requirement in the City's Code. This scale is shown
on page 12-05(b) (Official Zoning Map Description).
Chairperson Hotfmann asked Mr. Grimms to determine whether that was
an error on the map, or if not, change to reflect, (1) inch to 500.
In reference to determining zoning boundaries, Mr. Hoffmann asked
Mr. Grimms to submit to Mr. Goodrow, Rules for Determininq
Boundari es .
SECTION 20-~05. Mininq and mineral extractions:
In the first sentence the words, AND MINERAL is to be deleted and
replaced by, OR OTHER EARTH EXTRACTIONS.
Referring to the Comprehensive Plan, the Board noted that in the
section of designations, an RU needed to be designated as RC-l.
Mr. Stephens suggested Mr. Goodrow refer to page 17, item (b) of
the Comp Plan where it states,... "existing residential developments
with lots of at least one acre are assigned a new classification,
Rustic Residential."

Mr. Grimms read the statement on page 16, to the top of page 17 of
the Comprehensive Plan which read, . .. "also since there is no intent
to extend the municipal boundaries outward to the west, south and
east in order to develop new residential areas...".
He suggested dropping this from the Comprehensive Plan if the City
has any plans for annexations. Although stated under this
classification, his experience with DCA has shown that they are
expansive in their review practices. Mr. Grimms said he wouldn't
be surprised if this would be delved into, and used in DCA's logic
for raising objection for annexation for the city.
SECTION 20-164. Buildinq Heiqht Restrictions:
This section was noted by Mr. LeBlanc in his memo of April 5, 1995,
and given to Mr. Goodrow regarding the change of height restriction
to thirty-five (35) feet.
The Board asked that Mr. Goodrow show in the Code where the
residential moderate and medium densities are located.
SECTION 20-318. Minimum development standards and requirements:
(f) Buffers.
The Board would like an explanation as to why "buffers" were
deleted in this section, and unless addressed somewhere else, DOES
NOT WANT BUFFERS REMOVED FROM THE CODE.
SECTION 20-352. Intent and purpose of district:
Define "Mixed Use".
Chairperson Hoffmann suggested as an example, wording it to say,
"These designations appear in the Comprehensi ve PI an", and then put
as a section in the Code.
SECTION 20-354. Site development standards:
Regarding sub-paragraph (9), DEFINE PARKING FOR SINGLE-FAMILY
