Bluff P&Z proposes simpler height references, rework of agricultural zones and setback edits
Summary
Commissioners agreed to point building‑height readers to a matrix rather than repeat heights, discussed front setbacks (currently 50 feet in commercial zones), considered developer‑paid buffers, and proposed merging agricultural categories with a possible 3‑acre minimum lot size for consolidated A2 zoning.
Commissioners agreed to simplify how building heights are referenced in the code by directing readers to a single matrix rather than listing heights in multiple places. They discussed on‑site wastewater requirements, buffers between zones (with the expectation developers would pay for required buffers) and noted commercial zones currently reference a 50‑foot front setback that needs improvement.
The commission discussed reorganizing agricultural zoning into two categories—developable and non‑developable (the latter primarily covering federal/BLM holdings where the code would be advisory). They discussed combining A2 and A3 into a single A2 category and floated a potential minimum lot size of three (3) acres. Commissioners asked colleagues to review maps and propose locations appropriate for factory‑industrial designation.
