…body
EXPLANATION: A proposed zoning text amendment, initiated by staff, in response to an interpretation and pending appeal, to amend the Land Development Regulations related to building height limitations for a portion of a structure on residential properties within the Equestrian Preserve Area. This amendment would permit a portion of a principal or accessory structure to exceed the maximum building height of the structure. The amendment is proposed to accommodate those properties that may want to include a tower, ornamental or focal point feature to a principal or accessory structure whereas the current regulations do not provide for such opportunity.
At the August 3, 2016 Equestrian Preserve Committee meeting, the Committee recommended approval with a unanimous (7-0) vote. At the August 10, 2016 Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board (PZAB) meeting, the Board made a motion to recommend approval of Ordinance No. 2016-20. The motion was approved unanimously (6-0).
