Public Hearing: Chair Snyder opened the public hearing. Planning and Development
To consider amending Director Brent Miles gave a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the
Riverside Municipal Code changes to the Riverside Municipal Code that will be replaced with the
repealing and replacing UDO. All definitions were combined and applications and procedures
"Title IV: Land Use" with were combined to make the document easier to use. The proposed 8
a new Unified zoning districts would replace the former 11 districts. Major changes
Development Ordinance were made regarding landscaping requirements, sign regulations,
accessory structure regulations, and process and applications.
Some aspects of the UDO were discussed previously and the city
attorney has since given the City his opinion. The City can eliminate
manufactured housing (trailers) but not modular housing. Several
officials have said they want to eliminate multi - family housing. The city
attorney said that legally the City cannot eliminate multi- family
housing.
A frequently mentioned item in the ETC survey was the elimination of
used car lots. Legal counsel has now told the City that we can eliminate
the sale of used motor vehicles as a permitted use. Current motor
vehicle sales lots would remain but would terminate once the dealer
ceases activity.
Political signs will be regulated as to size, location, and dates for
installation and removal.
The UDO proposes eliminating fireworks in permanent buildings as a
permitted use. Existing fireworks buildings would be a legal non-
conforming use.
Membership on P &Z Commission will be limited to 9 with no limit on
terms. Land disturbances less than or equal to 300 square feet which are
not disturbing a natural drainage course is a regulation that has been put
in place. The CPO zoning district has been slightly modified but not
eliminated. The size of livestock and the number have been regulated.
Accessory structure setback has been increased from 5 yards to 10 yds.
Some parking issues have been adjusted as well as driveway widths.
Special event banners also received attention. Commissioner Poe
expressed her concerns about stream setbacks saying that they seemed
small. Miles said APWA guidelines were used and, basically, the size of
the stream affects the size of the setback. Miles also said the new
violations section of the zoning code will help with enforcement.
Mayor Rose expressed her appreciation for the hard work of the
commission and staff in putting together the UDO, which will be an
important and valuable tool for regulating the development of the city.
Chair Snyder closed the hearing. Commissioner Hurt moved to
recommend the UDO to the Board of Aldermen for approval.
Commissioner Bowman seconded and the vote was unanimous in favor
of the motion.
General Discussion Commissioner asked about the Skyline project. Miles gave a complete
December P & Z update on the progress of the project.
