adoption of design review guidelines for 1) single
family residential planned unit development; 2) single
family residential tract development; and 3) other
specified single family residential construction."
City Planner Onaga stated that major changes are being
proposed for development standards and guidelines.
There had been no design review guidelines prior to 1989
in the City and developers built what was attractive to
developers. Design review guidelines allow the City to
increase the best and prevent the worst. He outlined
the amendments to the zoning code, the design review
guidelines and the procedure to be established for
administrative adjustment with staff approving minor
deviations rather than City Council.
He also stated that the Design Review Guidelines are
meant to be flexible and a creative solution to design
problems. They will help create quality developments
citywide. These regulations are compatible with long
range plans and the need for higher quality
developments. The Planning Commission voted to
recommend approval by the City Council.
Mayor Vargas declared the Public Hearing open on AZC-132 PUBLIC
and DRG-93-2 and invited those wishing to speak on this HEARING
subject to come forward. OPEN
Larry Speight, developer, spoke regarding the letter he SPEIGHT
had presented to the Planning Commission and no response
being made to it. He felt this ordinance was over-
regulating and in the present economy the market is not
right for some of the requirements. Also, he stated
that some of the neighborhoods do not support better
development.
There being no other speakers, Mayor Vargas declared the CLOSED
Public Hearing closed.
Council commented regarding developers building a good DISCUSSION
product so that it is marketable, not generalizing on
what is acceptable to be built in the City, the
increasing of density placing demands on services, and
the increased cost of housing through regulations
forbids young families from being able to afford a home.
Councilman Gallegos requested that staff review Mr. DIRECTION
Speight's letter and give written answers to the letter
and forward a copy of the response to the Council in the
status report. He felt that Mr. Speight deserves an
answer and the issue needs to be cleared up. Council
concurred.
It was moved and seconded that Ordinance No. 1071, AN ORDINANCE
