Council hears draft ordinance to require 25‑foot nondisturbed setback for golf‑course redevelopment
Staff proposed a 25‑foot nondisturbed zone and additional 50‑foot privacy/height protections along property lines when golf course or country‑club land is redeveloped adjacent to residential districts; council asked that waivers be decided by council, not staff.
The full story
City engineering staff presented a draft ordinance that would require a 25‑foot nondisturbed zone along side and rear property lines of a redevelopment site previously occupied by a golf course or country club when adjacent to a residential district. Standards would require preservation/protection of existing trees, additional plantings if a natural buffer does not exist, and screening on the development side; an additional 50‑foot buffer would include a 4‑foot vertical grade limit within that area to protect privacy.
