14 Memorandum To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Julie Fulgham, Director of Development Services Date: July 1, 2013 Re: Text Amendment Minimum Square Footage Requirements for Single-Family Detached Dwellings City staff believes minimum square footage requirements for single family detached dwellings should be adopted to ensure new residences built within the City are compatible with the character and development patterns that currently exist. Below is the proposed text amendment to the zoning ordinance establishing a minimum square footage requirement of 750 square feet for single-family detached dwellings. PART I. GENERAL PROVISIONS Sec. 5. Definitions and interpretation. (Sec. 5.02) [Definitions.] The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation and the enforcement of this ordinance: (53) Dwelling, detached: A detached dwelling is one containing only one single-family dwelling unit per building lot and does not meet the requirements for a party wall or walls pertaining to a single family attached (townhouse) dwelling unit. All single-family detached dwellings shall be a minimum of seven hundred fifty (750) square feet.
