• <br />• <br />• <br />7. The R -2 district has been re- written to allow single family and attached two - <br />family dwelling units. The lot standards and setbacks have also been adjusted to <br />allow single family homes to potentially meet the minimum density requirement <br />of the Medium Residential land use category. To keep small -lot developments <br />from taking on a `snout house' appearance, with nothing but garage doors visible <br />from the street, the R -2 standards include some garage /facade requirements. <br />8. Manufactured Home Parks are, by state law, allowed in any district that allows <br />attached dwelling units. As a result, the use of `Manufactured Home Parks' has <br />been added to the R -2, R -3, and R -4 districts as a Conditional Use, with the <br />standards included in Section 6, Subdivision 7 as base conditions. (In the future, <br />staff intends to eliminate the R -6 zoning district and move the standards contained <br />within to Section 3 as requirements for the CUP allowed in R -2, R -3, and R -4.) <br />9. The R -3 and R -4 districts have increased setbacks and buffering requirements <br />when adjacent to land that is guided Low Density Residential. <br />Again, there are additional minor changes throughout this section that are identified with <br />the typical strike- though and underlining of ordinance amendments. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff has placed the item on the regular agenda for the February 13, 2012 meeting, so no <br />direction is necessary to proceed. If any comments or changes need to be contemplated, <br />staff seeks such input from the City Council at this time. <br />Attachments <br />1. Amended Ordinance Language <br />
