body
DEPARTMENT: Planning
INFORMATION:
During its winter 2015 retreat, members of the Board of Aldermen discussed the need for further review of non-owner occupancy in residential neighborhoods, how to define and regulate between commercial and residential zoning and how the Town should handle rezoning requests involving these topics. The Board of Aldermen also directed the Town Manager to reach out to the neighborhood known as Lloyd-Broad and Sunset with an informational session, 'Zoning 101.' Staff has reviewed some educational materials used for previous outreach efforts in town (i.e. related to the Planning Board outreach sessions in 2013 and advisory board training materials) and elsewhere and has developed an outline for a session that might be offered to neighborhoods in town, starting with Lloyd- Sunset. A draft agenda for the informational session and a map showing the neighborhood boundary are included as attachments (A and B). Staff is checking the Town and school calendars to identify possible fall dates for the session.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: Some staff time is involved; preparation for one meeting is anticipated at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Board of Aldermen provide feedback on the outlined concept.
