REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 12-16-96 ITEM NO.: F-3 Item Description: Agenda Section: Reports and Recommendations Westwood Village III appeal of staff interpretation of Section 1004.01 d of the City Code requiring concrete curb and gutter in parking lots. Manager Received: ~~ Department Reviewed: j)~~ Background: This is an appeal of zoning code interpretation. In the Spring of 1997, the homeowners association for the Westwood Village III (38 townhomes), would like to resurface their driveway/parking lot. In preparing for this, the homeowner's association board members met with Engineering staff to discuss the project. During that meeting, it was pointed out that the City Code requires concrete curb and gutter around the periphery of parking lots and that when resurfacing projects for existing parking lots are contemplated, this design standard applies. The homeowners association is requesting an appeal (or second opinion) of that interpretation from the Planning Commission and City Council. Development Summary: Westwood Village III is located in an "R-6" town home zoning district. Section 1 004.01 d3c states that concrete curb and proper setbacks will be required if the parking lot is regraded or reconstructed with a 1 inch lift or greater of bituminous pavement, except: 1. In R-1 and R-2 districts. 2. Parking lot seal coated or surface treated. 3. Minor patching or surface repair (overlay less than 25%), Section 1010.06 in the design standards chapter of the zoning code states that the periphery of parking areas and drives shall be constructed with poured in place concrete curbing. The requirement for concrete curb and gutter at the time of parking lot repair and resurfacing is meant to bring older facilities into compliance with the design standards chapter of the zoning code. 1
