City :.Tanager Hopkins requested a consensus as to the interpretation of the zoning ordinance as it applies to substandard lots as building sites - Section 2G-12 and Section 2h-60: The Commission was in agreement with the City `Manager's interpretation of_ Sections•26-12 in that a building site must meet all zoning requirements (A building site may consist of one or more legally defined lots under the same ownership). To this end no building site may '`borrow`" additional property from an abutting building site in order to make a building site conforming to all the zoning requirements if the action will reduce the abutting property in size so that lot width or size of yards or lot area per family or any other requirements is not maintained. (Section 2E-12). This would apply whether the abutting propert;~ is improved or unimproved. If a building site does not meet the minimum lot size requirements and does not abut and parallel additional property under the same ownership from which to borrow" property, then the building site is considered substandard and may be used as a building site provided the yard. requirements are met. (Section 26-50). City Manager Hopkins and r7r. Sam '~Mazzotta of the La}e County Planning Dept. gave a slide presentation on Planned Unit Developments showing specifically the trend of curvilinear and cluster type developments as compared to grid iron developments and the application of these type of developments for acreage in Clermont. Following a discussion session, motion was made by '~Sr. Jones that City ?4anager Hopkins be directed to advertise Public Hearing to consider a change in the zoning ordinance to allow for Planned I1nit Developments under a conditional use permit. The motion was subsequently withdrawn. -1. The City Tanager was directed to prepare guidelines covering Planned Unit Developments for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Conunission at a work session. _~Zr. ~Zazzotta announced that a Planning and Zoning Seminar is planned to be held at Lake Sumter Junior College and that all commission members will be advised of the scheduled dates.
