• Ordinance Amendment Relating to the XCR Reviewed by
(Extreme Commercial Recreation) Zoning
District, Case No. OA 16-05
Action Requested
Recommend,by motion,approval of the Ordinance Amendment as proposed.
Background/Discussion
City staff is seeking an ordinance amendment to reduce the minimum lot size for the Extreme
Commercial Recreation (XCR) zoning district. During the process of creating the XCR zoning district
and rezoning the area from Commercial Reserve Transition (CRT) to XCR, staff reduced the minimum
lot size from 20 acres to 10 acres. The 20 acre minimum lot size, for CRT,was adopted to help minimize
smaller lot development until the area could be further studied. The XCR district is now a standalone
district,independent of the "development reserve" CRT district.
The XCR district is developing with a long term vision for permanent installations, and reducing the
minimum lot size to 5 acres will allow for more manageable lots associated with the planned development
and expansion of the district. It will also reduce initial fees, such as park dedication and surface water
management.
Staff is proposing to amend the following language:
Sec. 30-1041. -Principal structures.
Principal structures shall comply with the following dimensional regulations:
I Building Setbacks
Minimum Lot ' Front Side Garage Side Rear Maximum Lot Maximum Height
Requirements ' (feet) (feet) (feet) (feet) Coverage (feet) j]
