<br />PURPOSE <br /> <br />The intent of the change is to better match zoning with existing lot sizes and uses. R- <br />1 L would create a single family zoning district with a minimum lot size of 18,000 Sq Ft <br />(about .41 acres). The present R-2 District allows for both single and two family units <br />with a minimum lot size of as little as 7,000 s.f. All lots in the proposed area exceed <br />18,000 s.f. and are single family. <br /> <br />ORrnNANCEAMENDMENT <br /> <br />Amendment of the following sections of the Hastings City Code is proposed: <br /> <br />150 Construction Regulations <br />150.09- Accessory Structures (B) Accessory Buildings (9) Chart <br /> <br />155 Zoning Code <br />155.01- Zoning Map <br />155.05- Application of District Regulations (D) Accessory Buildings (11) Chart <br />155.07- Special Provisions (E) Residential Care Facilities (5) Setbacks & height (Chart) <br />155.09- Parking and Loading (A) General Provisions (4) <br />Add 155.22.5- R-1 L Low Density Residence Large Lot <br />155.50- Residential Lot Regulations (Chart) <br /> <br />158 Property Maintenance <br />158.04- Property Maintenance requirements (B) Parking and storage of vehicles (2) <br /> <br />REZONING <br /> <br />The geographical area considered for rezoning is generally along Redwing Blvd. from <br />31st Street E down to Malcom Ave. It is presently zoned R-2 Medium Density <br />Residence.
