5 <br /> <br />8. Added standards for private drives as a new Section 1007.046. This provides <br />standards for private drives to distinguish them from public streets, provide clear <br />standards and ensure that the homeowners association maintains them in <br />perpetuity. <br /> <br />9. Changes the earth moving and land reclamation activities allowed by Section <br />1007.050 from a conditional use permit (which runs with the land) to an interim <br />use permit (which includes a sunset clause). <br /> <br />10. Added new language for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) as Section <br />1007.059. This provides standards to allow WECS as an accessory use. <br /> <br />a.

Added language for Model Homes and Temporary Real Estate Offices by <br />administrative permit as a new Section 1007.060. These are common for large <br />developments and this provides consistent standards. <br /> <br />12. Added language for Temporary Structures as a new Section 1007.061 for <br />emergency use. This is typically a short term need when a structure is damaged <br />and uninhabitable. It allows a temporary structure while the original structure is <br />being rebuilt. <br /> <br />13.

This <br />provides performance standards for these needed services. <br /> <br />16. Agreed to consider a change to Section 1007.043, (2)(a)3 (Building Type & <br />Construction) to allow metal roofing as an acceptable material. Currently the <br />code says, “Single family dwellings shall have at least a four/twelve (4/12) roof <br />pitch and shall be covered with shingles or tiles or a standing seam metal roof.” <br />Staff would like to expand the language to add “... or other metal roofs as <br />approved by the zoning administrator.” Staff believes that there a number of high <br />quality roof materials available and would like the ability for residents and <br />businesses to use materials that meet the purpose and intent of this standards in <br />this Section. A similar amendment was brought to the Council in 2020 and was <br />not supported. P&Z recommended adding some flexibility to allow new materials <br />that are consistent with our standards. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />This report is intended to keep the City Council informed of the Zoning Ordinance update <br />that staff is working through with P&Z. We will continue suggest additional revisions to
