<br /> <br />As a part of this amendment, staff would propose the following additional exception, to <br />read as follows: <br />(K) Walkways, as defined in this ordinance, which do not encroach closer than <br />one (1) foot to any internal side lot line, provided that the property owner controls <br />drainage impacting adjoining property in a manner that will be consistent with <br />applicable law. <br /> <br />With these changes, it is believed that there will be fewer opportunities to misconstrue the <br />intent of the ordinance, and fill a gap as it relates to private walkway definition and regulation. <br /> <br />SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Application 1. Ordinance Amendments to Section 152.008 and 152.177. Staff recommends <br />approval as submitted. <br /> <br />This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposed ordinance clarifies the zoning <br />standards for the subject uses, and furthers the intent of the zoning ordinance for the use of <br />residential property. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS <br />1. Motion to adopt the proposed zoning ordinance amendment establishing definitions <br />and standards for Walkways, Sidewalks, and Patios. <br />2. Motion to deny the ordinance as presented. In the event of a recommendation for <br />denial, the City Council must state its findings related to denial. <br />3. Request Additional Information and Table Action, subject to the submission of <br />additional information from staff. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Exhibit A: Draft Ordinance <br />18
