Commission adopts amendment to nonconforming-use rules after public questions on notice and green space
Summary
The commission adopted an ordinance (second reading) revising section 20-4.8 of the land development code on nonconforming uses and structures; speakers raised concerns about townhome projects, notice procedures and preserving green space near the Marshall/"mango" lots.
The commission unanimously adopted an ordinance amending section 20-4.8 of the land development code to revise rules on nonconforming structures and uses.
The item had been reviewed by the planning-and-zoning board and returned to the commission for second reading. At the hearing residents raised questions about recent approvals for townhome-style lots near the Marshall/"mango" lots, asked whether certified mailed notices were being received, and urged the commission to consider green space and tree cover in future land-use decisions. A commenter asked whether earlier unity-of-title or plat actions had been completed for the lots at issue; the attorney and staff agreed to return with clarifying paperwork.
Commissioners approved the ordinance on second reading by voice/roll call (5–0). Staff and the city attorney committed to provide additional information about the mango-lot parcel status and the city's notice process.
