OTHER ITEMS AND COMMUNICATION 7. Chapter 25 Amendment Regarding Driveway Spacing Requirements Mr. Shrimplin presented a proposed amendment to the driveway spacing requirements in the Development Code (Chapter 25 of the City's Code of Ordinances). He explained that the amendment adds language to clarify that each unit is allowed a driveway for each full City of Cape Girardeau Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes July 13, 2022 Page 3 of 4 80 -foot section of lot frontage along a street for single-family detached, townhouse, and two- family (duplex) residential uses. The current language does not allow a duplex to have two separate driveways (one for each unit) unless the lot has at least 160 feet of frontage. Most duplex lots have less than 160 feet of frontage, and staff believes it is reasonable to allow each unit to have its own individual driveway on a lot with a lesser frontage. The amendment also corrects an erroneous section reference. A motion was made by Mr. Koetting and seconded by Mr. Jackson to recommend approval of the amendment as proposed by staff. The motion passed with a roll call vote of 8 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 0 abstaining (Aye: Blank, Greaser, Jackson, Koetting, Martin, Stickel, Whittington, Young). Amendment to the Rules of Procedure Mr. Shrimplin explained that the City recently recodified its Code of Ordinances, which changed some of the section numbers. He presented an amendment to the Commission's Rules of Procedure, which updated the section number references to match the Code. A motion was made by Mr. Koetting and seconded by Mr. Whittington to adopt the amendment. The motion passed by a unanimous vote.
