Appl 13-37P, DeMallie Coverage Zoning Amendment
Public Hearing 10-22-13
Planning Department Report
1. This is a request for a several text amendments related to the definition of Lot
coverage ratios in residential zones.
2. This amendment proposes to do a couple things: In the definition section of the
regulations, the applicant has proposed to add a definition for"Lot Coverage"
as well as modify the current definition of"Building Area":
3. Another part of this request is to amend Table 3.1.1A, Residential Area,
Density and Dimensional Requirements,Lot Coverage in A-20 zones to allow
for 20% coverage as well as modify Open Space Subdivisions, Table 7.14.5A to
add Maximum Lot Coverage, RR, A-40, AA-30, A-30 —to add a 20%
requirement. Currently the regulations do not address a lot coverage ratio. This
change allows a 5% increase in lot coverage than the current regulations allow.
This change will help allowing the larger sheds and two car garages that we
tend to see being proposed on existing A-20 dots.
4. Lastly, this amendment proposed to correct the MFA regulations that have lot
coverage's and impervious coverage's listed incorrectly.
5. The current Town Plan of Conservation and Development under the Residential
section encourages flexibility in meeting emerging housing needs and updates
to the zoning regulations that are compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
6. The Capitol Region Council of Governments has reviewed the amendment as
required and reports that they find no apparent conflict with regional plans and
policies or the concerns of neighboring towns.
7. If this application is approved, the Planning Dept has no additional requested
modifications.
