WORKSHOP ITEMS
A. Review Proposed Land Development Code Re~isi~)[3
Mayor Barnes announced that this workshop was a continuance of the April 19, 2000 workshop
and that review would begin on Article ×1, however he requested a brief rereview of certain of the
previous articles.
Following discussion on residential building height which is proposed to go to 35 feet rather than
the 25 feet in the current code; a consensus poll was taken to limit height to 25 feet. The poll
resulted in a majority denial, however, it was the consensus of Council to direct the City Attorney to
bring back language to provide that if it the maximum height was left at 25 feet, there would be an
easier method of obtaining a variance to go higher.
