MISC. ITEM NO. 1:
Old Business: Reconsideration of proposed revision [TA-11-13-06 to Section 20-801(e) (3) of the Lawrence Development Code and Chapter XII of the Douglas County Code] regarding the intent to vest existing residences built in the county located in A, A-1, R-1 and V-C Districts.
STAFF PRESENTATION
Mr. Joe Rexwinkle presented the item. Late in the adoption process, an omission in the applicable zoning districts listed in section 20-801(e)(3) was identified. The intent of the August amendment to the Vested Rights section was to vest existing residences built in the county (after they were split off from a larger tract of land through an exception process). There should be four districts listed in section 20-801 (e)(3) that it applies to (A, A-1, R-1 and V-C) but, the V-C (Valley Channel) district was inadvertently omitted. Rather than return the entire ‘package’ of text amendments acted on by the Planning Commission in August and the Governing Bodies in September, the city’s legal staff has determined it is appropriate to create a new text amendment for this change for public hearing by the Planning Commission.
PUBLIC HEARING
No public comment.
ACTION TAKEN
Motioned by Commissioner Harris, seconded by Commissioner Chaney, to approve the proposed revision [TA-11-13-06 to Section 20-801(e) (3) of the Lawrence Development Code and Chapter XII of the Douglas County Code, the jointly adopted Lawrence/Douglas County Subdivision Regulations and forward to the County Commission and City Commission.
