Council clears Joe Green Lane zoning conditions with 50‑ft buffer; seven map corrections set for public hearing
The City Council on July 3 approved removal of legacy zoning conditions on a property at the end of Joe Green Lane while adding conditions limiting development to a single home plus one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and imposing a 50‑foot buffer where the property adjoins unincorporated county land.

Planning staff said the parcel had conditions placed in 2006 anticipating a 69‑lot subdivision; the current owner proposed building only a single‑family house and one ADU. At the public hearing two speakers earlier spoke in favor of the request. Council debated whether to impose a 50‑foot perimeter buffer; after discussion a motion to approve the request with the 50‑foot buffer and the one‑home restriction was moved and seconded and carried unanimously.

Separately, planning staff summarized seven map corrections staff identified where the official zoning map contained historical errors (including two Ridge Road properties and multiple apartment complexes shown with incompatible plan development zoning). Staff recommended corrections and notified property owners; a public hearing on the proposed map amendments is scheduled for the July 17 council meeting.

What’s next: the Joe Green Lane approval will be implemented per the approved conditions; the map corrections will be considered at the July 17 public hearing where affected owners may comment.
