Page 2 of 2 <br /> City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance <br /> November 05,2020 <br /> Establishing a Zoning Lot will require an application to be reviewed by City Staff, and an <br /> affidavit recorded at the County Recorder's Office. The affidavit will alert future property <br /> owners to this designation. Also, any future request to divide the created zoning lot will <br /> require written release from the City Zoning Administrator ensuring that no Zoning <br /> Violations will occur if the Zoning Lot is subdivided in the future including a large accessory <br /> structure used for storage being located on a zoning lot without a primary structure. <br /> An added definition for Adjacent Lots is proposed to clarify that lots separated by a street, <br /> public alley or public walkway shall not be deemed to be adjacent and cannot then be joined <br /> as one Zoning Lot. Existing easements on the property will not be impacted by the Zoning Lot <br /> Designation and development of property will still need to respect these easements. Creation <br /> of a Zoning Lot will only be permitted for lots of the same zoning district classification. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends approval of the amendments as proposed. <br /> PLAN COMMISSION ACTION <br /> Section XXIX.G. of the Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing and <br /> make recommendations to the City Council on amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. A motion to <br /> forward Calendar Number 20-38 to City Council with a recommendation of approval is suggested. <br /> The above report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning and Development <br /> Division, Community Development Department, City of Decatur. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1.
