Council approves package of minor land‑development code fixes
Summary
Fletcher Town Council unanimously approved a set of housekeeping amendments to the town's land development code to remove conflicting language on pool setbacks, strike an undefined MHD reference, and tidy Town Center overlay rules.
Fletcher Town Council voted to approve a set of what planning staff called "minor housekeeping ordinance amendments" to the town's land development code after a short public hearing.
Planning director Eric told the council the package corrects several contradictions and leftovers in the code: it removes an incorrect statement that suggested no setback applied to pool‑related patio areas, strikes an erroneous reference to zoning district C‑1 under a building‑type rule, and deletes an undefined "MHD" term left in the ordinance during earlier drafting. He also said the Hart of Fletcher overlay contained outdated references to residential uses that are no longer allowed in those zoning districts.
The planning board had unanimously recommended approval. After closing the public hearing, Mayor (Speaker 1) moved to approve the amendments and a council member seconded the motion; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Council members and staff said the changes are intended to clarify code language rather than alter substantive land‑use policy. The ordinance will be prepared for the mayor's signature after the formal adoption steps are completed.
The vote concludes the public hearing and puts the clarified text into the draft ordinance ready for finalization and signature.
