MEMORANDUM

subject:       Land Use Management Ordinance Text Amendment – Deletion of the Floor Area Limits in the Single-Family Component of a Planned Development-Housing 

date:             April 28, 2008

PURPOSE

Enactment of the attached ordinance would change the Land Use Management Ordinance provisions to eliminate the floor area limit for the single-family residential component of Planned Developments-Housing (PD-H).

MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION

I believe that removing the floor area limit for single-family residential component of Planned Developments-Housing could benefit the community by allowing more housing options and design flexibility within residential planned developments.

My recommendation is that the Council enact the attached Ordinance, approving the proposed Land Use Management Ordinance text amendment.
