MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE F I~E JULY 26, 1977 Discussion Discussion of Zoning Requirements with Respect to Lot Sizes and Permitted Uses in the Reserve Annexation Area Chairman Ryder told about Councilman Caldwell raising the question at the City Council meeting about the desirability ef getting people in the unimcorporate~ areas into the City. He told about the Co~cil's discussiom of people not wsating to come into the City because of various restrictions and it was referred to this Board. He then asked Mr. Amnunziato if he had anything further to add. Mr. Ann~u~ziato referred to the lot sizes and permitted mses in the reserve annexation area and advised that in reference to lot sizes, the densities which are shown on the Comnty Land Use Plan are what we are required to abide by.upon an- nexation. Basically all the land in the reserve annexation area on the County Land Use Plan is designated at four uaits per acre for single family development or six ~ts per acre for PUD develo nt~ He explained how if~-s~meene wanted te decrease he would have to go to the County Com- mission for authorization or the alternative would be to go to a PUD such as Mr. Coge~n did. However, he believes Coua- cilman Cal~well had the idea of preparing an ordinance which would permit the storing of recreation vehicles, farming, raising amimals, etc. as they do in the Commty areas now. This is~what the Board should discuss. Mr. Lambert referred to discussing something which we have not even been confronted with and asked if we would i~herit uses along with zoning classifications and Mr. Annunziate replied that he th just the density would be inherited. He does not think uses~ would be inherited unless they are existing, but they would be mon-conforminE. Mr. Lambert state4 he did not think action could be taken on this, but consideration could be given whem it comes before us such as including agriculture and animals. Chairma~ Ryder stated he did not think Councilma~ Caldwell expected a~jf definitive action. Col. Trauger stated if something was proposed for the City Council, it would be proposing an action on-something which we do not have and would not have any legal binding ~ecause under the County Land Use Plan, amy property contingaoms to the City subject to annexation would have to come iato the City and we would have to accept the use which is mow on that land which would be grandfathered. Mrs. Schorr stated she thought there should be a holding zone and when application is made for annexation, it should include what they wamt. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE SIX JULY 26, 1977 After discussion, Mr. Ann~umziate referred to them being aware of the possibility of problems and suggested possibly creating a floating zone with no land zoned in that category and ex- plained how it would be similar to a PID with no land zone, but potential existing in that zoning.
