Space and Bulk Information

The following information relates to a proposed amendment to Article XI, District Regulations of the Zoning and Land Use Code.  Specifically, the amendment involves the consolidation of the use, space and bulk standards contained in Article  XI into a table and matrix.  The purpose of the amendment and matrix is to consolidate a section of the ordinance into a format that is easier to interpret and maintain.  Once adopted, the matrix will provide staff and citizens an easier means of providing zoning and land use information.  The amendment also includes clarification and consolidation of permitted and conditional uses as well as some space and bulk standards of some zoning districts.
