B. Proposed Amendment to Land Development Code-Minimum Width of Lots
Commissioner Morris reported,as mentioned in the Agenda packet, the
present Land Development Code that was adopted on July 26, 1982
provides for a minimum lot width of 50 feet and a minimum lot area of
5000 sq. ft. in the RS-2 zoning. This was changed from 75 foot width
and minimum lot area of 7500 sq. ft. The Advisory Planning Board had
requested that the City Commission consider changing it back to the
original 75 ft. minimum width and 7500 sq. ft. because of the concern
for density and crowded conditions on unplatted parcels of land. The
City Manager was instructed to bring a proposed Ordinance back to
the Commission for their review.
