to update the zoning map every 18 months if needed and in conjunction with a land use
change.
B.Indus trialized Housing
Staff stated that new state laws have been passed recently, allowing industrialized homes
in Single Family Residential (SFR) areas. It is Planning & Zoning's recommendation to
change the building codes to cover industrialized housing. Mayor Brizendine believes
that the Home Owners Associations should also be contacted and supplied with Staff's
recommen dation.
C.Revisions to the Permitted Use Table (PUT) for Used Car Sales,
Amusement/Recreation Industries, and discussion regarding revisions to Parking
Requirements.
Planning and Zoning's recommended revisions to the PUT for Used Car Sales to be
allowed in Commercial Shopping Center (CSC) district and that Amuse ment/Recreation
'· Industries be placed in Industrial and Light Industrial with a Specific Use Permit (SUP).
Planning and Zoning's other recommendation was that the parking requirements be
placed in the Design Criteria Manual and taken out of the Zoning Ordinance.
Mayor Brizendine stated that the parking table should be moved to the Design Criteria
Manual and Staff could proceed with doing that.

increases in density for a cluster home development. This was accomplished by
segregating developments into four size categories and allowing higher densities in the
smaller developments. There was some discussion by the Commission with regards to
developments, which might be slightly larger than the 20, 50, or 75-acre break points. To
anticipate these requests, the Commission is also recommending some latitude to
reasonably adjust the densities in these situations. City Council agreed that the Planning
and Zoning Commission could move fo1ward on this item.
