SCHEDULED MATTERS PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor announced the time had arrived to conduct a public HMD zoNES hearing on the amendment to zoning ordinance regarding set- backs in Hospital-Medical-Dental (H-M-D) Zones. In January, 1981, the City adopted an ordinance which established a H-M-D Zoning classification. One of the development standards of this zone requires that building be set back at least 20 feet from all property lines. Staff feels this requirement is overly restrictive in that the majority of the City's H-M-D lots are only 50 feet wide. These lots would be rendered useless if the required setbacks were adhered to. A 10 foot front yard setback is reasonable and that no side or rear setback require- ments are necessary for the H-M-D Zoning. The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak for or in opposition to the proposed ordinance. There was no response and the public hearing was closed.
