A milestone has been achieved with the city when it comes to
its Comprehensive Plan goals. The plan
was adopted in June of 2010 and within that plan were many changes that had
been recommended. These recommended
changes included new, renamed or changed zoning districts. Accomplishing these tasks was slow and
methodical with a good number of steps along the way. The capstone to this effort was a
comprehensive view and change to the zoning map as well as text changes. This was accomplished by the city council
with the passage of Ordinance 13-07, 3rd Series.
This Ordinance provides for the adoption of a new zoning map
dated July 1, 2013. Three previous zoning
districts were eliminated. The Limited
Commercial and the Commercial zoning districts were combined resulting in the
elimination of the Limited Commercial District.
The Business Park District was eliminated as no property was or will be
zoned to this district. The Recreational
and Utility District is eliminated as this is being replaced by a new district
called Resort Commercial. Resort
Commercial will also include the district formally called Waterfront
Commercial.
With these changes there were a number of items in the code
that dealt with these districts. These
needed to be eliminated or addressed in a way so that references did not create
a problem in the future. The Land Use
Category chart and the Lot Size Dimension chart were modified.
Accomplishing these goals moves us very close to
accomplishing all of the goals provided for in the Comprehensive Plan. Progress has been made in the land use arena
for the city of Breezy Point.
