The explicit, <br />legislative-form code amendments that were presented included: <br />2. Remove Lot Size/Density Requirements <br />Proposed new code in Table 9.2740: "(Dwellings. All dwellings, except secondary dwellings, <br />shall meet minimum and maximum density requirements in accordance with Table 9.2750 <br />Residential Zone Development Standards (A similar code amendment was also provided <br />for the Chambers Special Area Zone. <br />3. Remove Owner-Occupancy Requirements <br />Proposed amendment to remove "Either the secondary dwelling or the primary dwelling must <br />be occupied by the property owner" from the code. <br />So, "Bon Appetit!" Councilor Zelenka. Please do your homework next time before you dismiss residents' <br />well-founded concerns so casually. <br />Paul <br />Accredited Earth Advantage <br />Sustainable Homes Professional <br />
