Public Hearing 1. Zoning text amendment creating the O-R Neighborhood Office District
Description
This district is intended primarily to provide locations for neighborhood and community serving office
and related services at locations within the City of Brighton which are easily accessible. This district
is normally small and may include older homes undergoing conversion. The district is often situated
business and residential districts and the regulations are designed to protect and compliment nearby
residential districts.
Provisions
When petitioning rezoning to this district, the petitioner shall submit to the Planning Commission a
preliminary site plan of the proposed development which shall contain details such as the size, shape
and location of the site, and indicating the proposed egress, offstreet parking, and any other
requirements of the City. All required parking shall be provided in rear or side yards, unless conditions
specifically require front yard parking. Any deviation from the final Site Plan, (which is also required
prior to issuance of a building permit) shall constitute a violation of the building permit. If the site is to
be subdivided, it must meet all requirements of the subdivision ordinance.
Mayor Crocker gave Rick Stieg the floor. Mr. Stieg gave the description of the O-R Neighborhood Office District Zoning.
Cyndi Timbs asked “could the zoning have a mixed use”. Mr. Stieg replied “yes it could have residential on top and office on the bottom or any which way you wanted to do it”.
John Pate asked “what about the tax rate?” Stieg replied that it will be based on the primary use of the property. The appraiser for the local accessor’s office will come in and evaluate how much square footage is dedicated for commercial and how much is dedicated for residential.
John Pate made a motion to recommend that the Planning Commission establish an O-R Zoning to be presented to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Jason Dittrich seconded that motion. All approved. Motion carried.
