Re: Text Amendment – RZ18-08
Date: March 22, 2018 for the March 28, 2018 Planning Commission
Meeting
RZ18-08 – To amend Article XIX Crabapple Form Based Code to amend Table 1
Transect Zone Descriptions
The purpose of this text amendment is to amend the T-4 Transect Zone
description in Table 1 within the Crabapple Form Based Code. This proposed
amendment will more clearly describe that this transect zone is intended to be
mixed use as per the list of allowed uses in Table 9: Specific Function and Use
and to eliminate the “primarily” residential statement which creates an
inconsistency in interpretation. The amendment also includes allowing office
uses within T-4 within Table 1 descriptions.
This proposed change will further solidify the idea that a mix of uses will serve to
promote a live, work, play downtown village in Crabapple.
