PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS 57. 5:00 P.M. - Public hearing and approval of an amendment to Title XIII (Land Development Code) of the Austin City Code of 1992 by: (1) amending Section 13-2-221 to add Single-Family Residential and Duplex as permitted uses in the Central Business District, and Downtown Mixed Use, zoning districts; (2) amending Section 13-2-303 to add one accessory dwelling unit to commercial uses when occupied by persons engaged in the principal use and the dwelling area is not more than 50% of the building (s); (3) amending Section 13-2-731 (a)(1)(A) to waive compatibility standards for accessory dwelling units; and (4) amending Section 13-5-6 (C) to clarify there are no parking requirements for accessory uses. (Recommended by Planning Commission) Ordinance No. 950907-P approved with amendment by Councilmember Nofziger to approve the Planning Commission recommendation: Part 2 is 2(6), and that is to read "one dwelling unit," to omit the word "accessory", so "one dwelling unit occupying not more than 50% of the building structure". "Occupants need not be engaged in the principal use." That means essentially that folks other than those associated with the business may live there. Part 3(a1)(A), to read "used for any use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive district unless such use is a dwelling as permitted in Section 13-2-303", on Councilmember Nofziger's motion Mayor Pro Tem Garcia's second, 7-0 vote.
