091 <br /> Kra,: <br /> a <br /> f. ARTICLE 22 - DEFINITIONS - DELETE "ADULT USE" DEFINITIONS AND <br /> ADD "MASSAGE BUSINESS" DEFINITIONS <br /> Planner Susan Smith indicated that the proposed amendments as <br /> identified in the agenda as 5b through 5f were developed in response to <br /> the adoption of the Massage Business Ordinance to assure consistency <br /> between the ordinances. <br /> NO COMMENTS <br /> g. ARTICLE 4 - PERMITTED USES - MOBILE HOMES AS ACCESSORY USES <br /> h. ARTICLE 6 - DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS - MOBILE HOMES AS <br /> ACCESSORY USES <br /> i. ARTICLE 6 - DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS - STANDARDS FOR MOBILE <br /> HOMES AND MOBILE HOME PARRS <br /> j. ARTICLE 7 - PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS - MOBILE HOME PARK DISTRICT <br /> k. ARTICLE 5 - DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS - STANDARDS FOR MOBILE <br /> HOME PARKS <br /> 1. ARTICLE 22 - DEFINITIONS - MOBILE HOMES/PARKS <br /> Planner Susan Smith summarized the proposed zoning ordinance text <br /> amendments as identified in the agenda as items 5g through 51. These <br /> amendments are in response to the concerns raised during the last year <br /> regarding mobile homes and mobile home parks. <br /> NO COMMENTS <br /> m. ARTICLE 5 - DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS - PEDESTRIAN AND <br /> LANDSCAPE AREA RATIOS <br /> n. ARTICLE 22 - DEFINITIONS - PEDESTRIAN/LANDSCAPE RATIO <br /> With reference to items 5m and 5n, Ms. Smith indicated that the <br /> ordinance currently provides for pedestrian and landscape ratios to be <br /> applied to floor area. Application of all other ratios listed in the <br /> Land Use Intensity table is determined on the basis of gross land area. <br /> The proposed amendment would apply minimum pedestrian access and <br /> landscaped area requirements in non-residential developments to gross <br /> land area. <br /> Planning Board member Steve Yuhasz made reference to the table <br /> illustrating the application of the current and proposed landscape/- <br /> pedestrian ratios and asked how the figures were determined in column A <br /> and what the figures represented. <br /> Smith noted that Column A represents the resulting <br /> landscape/pedestrian area derived from applying the ratio specified in <br /> the current ordinance to the maximum floor area allowed in a district. <br /> The second column represents the resulting area derived from applying <br /> the proposed ratio to the gross land area. The proposed ratios were <br /> determined on the basis of specifying 25% of the total open space as <br /> landscaped area. <br /> p. ARTICLE 4 - PERMITTED USES - ZONING DISTRICT APPLICATION <br /> CRITERIA <br /> q. ARTICLE 4 - PERMITTED USES - ACREAGE REQUIREMENTS With reference to items 5p, and 5q of the agenda, Susan Smith <br /> noted the amendments would specifically delete from the zoning district <br /> application criteria the references to specific townships and joint <br /> planning areas. The amendments further exempt those uses permitted on a <br /> special use permit basis or zoned Existing Commercial-V from inclusion <br /> in the calculation of maximum acreage requirements specified for the LC- <br /> 1, NC-2 and CC-3 zoning districts within a given activity node. <br /> Planning Board member Steve Kizer commented that one of the reasons <br /> for not putting GC-4 in all the townships is that for example, in <br /> Bingham there are not appropriate areas for GC-4 districts and uses. <br />
