explanation
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
This petition, initiated by staff, is necessary to correct a scrivener's error in the Land Development Code. Sec. 30-53(d), Table 3 (dimensional requirements for RMF-6, RMF-7 and RMF-8 multi-family medium density residential zoning districts) inadvertently and incorrectly states the building height (for MF buildings) is the minimum height; it should state the building height is the maximum height.
The Plan Board held a public hearing September 21, 2006. Planning Division staff recommended that the Plan Board approve the petition. The Plan Board approved the petition by a vote of 4-0 and recommended that the City Commission approve Petition 142TCH-06 PB.
CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM
This ordinance requires two public hearings. If adopted on first reading, the second and final reading will be held on Monday, June 25, 2007.
