Zoning Code Amendment Proposed for Setback Requirements on Corner Lots

The Real Estate Committee discussed a proposed general ordinance amending the zoning code to address front yard setback requirements for properties situated on two separate streets. The amendment aims to remedy an issue where constituents faced difficulties due to existing regulations treating both front and rear yards with the same front yard setback rules. The administration has no position on the zoning change itself, but noted it is a Type 1 action requiring a full environmental assessment form and notification in the environmental notice bulletin. The item was referred to county planning and requires updated forms before proceeding.
