The amendment would add a provision to conditional uses for the R-1 Zone to allow Patio Homes subject to certain regulations. This amendment to our R-1 Single Family Residential Zone would allow patio homes to be built on lots not less than 6500 sq. feet in size, building size of 1400 sq. feet on the main floor, a 2 car garage and a minimum 30 foot front set back. Landscaping, sprinkler systems, and fences are required. No comments were made by the citizens in attendance. Council member Brad Andersen asked if the amendment was to approve the patio homes in the Country Haven Subdivision. Brad feels patio homes will detract from the identity of Iona. Mayor Rockwood explained that approval of this amendment was not approval for any specific patio homes, but if approved would allow the City Council to approve patio home construction as a conditional use permit in the future. As this amendment is outlined it places a lot more requirements on the building of patio homes then other communities require. We would require a larger lot size and building footprint for this type of construction. The Public Hearing closed at 7:25 p.m. The Council discussed and commented on the hearing. Council member Scott Long moved to approve the following: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IONA, IDAHO, RELATING TO THE ALLOWANCE OF PATIO HOMES IN THE R-1 ZONE; AMENDING SECTIONS 11-4-2 AND 11-4-3 OF THE IONA CITY CODE RELATING TO CONDITIONAL USES; ADDING A NEW SECTION 11-4-11 ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS FOR PATIO HOMES; ESTABLISHING METHODOLOGY, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE DATE. and that we authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the ordinance and that we suspend the rule requiring the reading of ordinances on three separate days and once in full, and that the ordinance be passed on all three readings.
