Nancy gave a brief description of what these changes would include, such as definitions, corrections, and additions. There were copies of the changes for the public to review. She then turned the discussion over to Ken Anderson to highlight the more important changes. Ken explained that we are always in a period of change and new definitions are useful for clarification. He also explained the addition of a new solar energy section which we were lacking in our ordinance.
Public Comment: Alan Preston asked why the height restriction on roof-mounted solar system not to extend more than three (3) feet above the surface of the roof. This is standard.
On the last page a correction was made to Section 1511, number 7, which should read: Portable storage shipping containers are allowed as temporary accessory structures in FF/FR District. A temporary zoning permit is required that is valid for ninety (90) days and may be extended at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator.
