Ordinance 29-26 amends Section 4.1.5. of the Land Development Code entitled “Projections and encroachments into setbacks.” This ordinance will provide greater flexibility to homeowners for installing generators, pool equipment, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment by eliminating the current requirement that these types of equipment must be located within five feet of the building envelope. The proposed amendment will allow these types of equipment to be placed in the side and rear yards of residential-zoned sites provided the equipment does not encroach into a public utility and drainage easement. This issue was previously discussed at two Committee of the Whole Meetings on February 25 and May 8. Following the May 8th meeting, Planning staff was directed to bring an amendment forward for the City Council to consider. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 29-26. |
