Commission clarifies corner‑lot front setbacks; forwards text amendment to Council
Summary
Planner Jim Spung said the proposed text amendment clarifies that front setbacks apply to both street frontages on corner lots without changing setback distances; the Commission unanimously recommended the amendment to the Town Council after no public comment.
The Fairfield Planning Commission unanimously voted on July 29 to recommend the Town Council adopt a text amendment clarifying how front-yard setbacks apply on corner lots in Agricultural Residential zones. Planner Jim Spung told the Commission the amendment would not change existing setback distances but would specify that the required front setback applies to both street frontages on corner parcels and would apply to principal and accessory structures.
After a short presentation, Chairman Wayne Taylor confirmed a formal motion to open the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Commissioner Jamie Mascaro moved to forward a positive recommendation to the Town Council and Commissioner Kelton Butterfield seconded. The motion passed unanimously, and the Commission recorded its findings and recommended the Council adopt the clarification to Section 154.105(E).
