Ill. STUDY SESSION CASE #2014-06 MINIMUM LOT WIDTHS IN MU-R-3-C AND
MU-R-3-B AMENDMENTS
Brook Bell, Planner 11, explained that because a discrepancy was found in the Unified
Development Code (UDC) regarding MU-R-3-C, Staff is preparing to present
amendments for both MU-R-3-B and MU-R-3-C at the continuation of the Public
Hearing November 18, 2014. Mr. Bell reviewed the history of the previous code
amendments that resulted in the discrepancy. The intention was to not have a
minimum lot width for multi-unit dwellings in these zone districts.
The MU-R-3-C discrepancy exists between UDC Table 16-6-1.1: Summary of
Dimensional Requirements, and UDC Section 16-6-1.C.1 Multi-Unit Development
Standards in R-2-A, R-2-B, R-3-A, MU-R-3-A, MU-R-3-B, and MU-R-3-C regarding the
minimum lot width for a multi-unit dwelling. Table 16-6-1.1 states "None"; however
Section 16-6-1.C.1 requires a minimum lot width of "twenty-five feet (25') per unit for
Page 2 of 4
• properties with alley access" and "thirty feet (30') per unit" for properties without
alley access.
~
In order to correct the discrepancy between the minimum lot width required in
Table 16-6-1.1 and Section 16-6-1.C.1, the Commissioners agreed that the preferred
corrective actions are as follows:
• UDC Section 16-6-1.C.1 Strike MU-R-3-C from the heading.
• UDC Section 16-6-1.C.1.c.(1) Add an exception for MU-R-3-B with regards to the
minimum lot width for property having rear alley access.
• UDC Section 16-6-1.C.1.d.(1) Add an exception for MU-R-3-B with regards to the
minimum lot width for property without rear alley access .

IV. PUBLIC FORUM

V. ATTORNEY'S CHOICE
The City Attorney did not have any comments. e
• VI. STAFF'S CHOICE
•
Director White thanked the members of the Commission who attended the
stakeholder interviews that were conducted last week for the Comprehensive Plan.
He encouraged the Commissioners to participate via the website and at the public
meeting next Wednesday November 1ih, 6:00 p.m., in Hampden Hall. The
Commissioners will have the opportunity to comment throughout the process. He
explained that all three projects (Comprehensive Plan, Next Steps Study and the
Kaiser Walk and Wheel Study) are being conducted concurrently.

Chris Neubecker, Senior Planner, asked the Commissioners if they are interested in
having a holiday dinner next month. The consensus was to have the dinner on
December 2nd and have a study session on the work plan for next year. It was agreed
that because there are no major pending issues, the December 16th meeting is
cancelled.
VII. COMMISSIONER'S CHOICE
~
Mr. Brick remarked that he likes the combination of the three planning projects and
feels it will provide more perspective from the community. The Federal and
Belleview King Soopers is a promo store and the activity in the shopping center has
increased significantly. He gave credit to the Community Development staff for their
