*CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING* AN ORDINANCE REZONING 0.477 ACRES LOCATED AT 653 DEWEY ST, FROM SF-4 TO D, AS REQUESTED BY ROBIN & ANGIE HOUGHTON, REPRESENTED BY SHELBY HOFFMAN. Person presenting this item: Shane Pace, Director of Community Development BRIEF: On May 9, 2017 City Council requested that the applicant provide a site plan and a rendering of what the duplexes will look like. As of June 9, 2017, we have not received anything from the applicant. P&Z considered this at its April 24, 2017 meeting. This is a request to accommodate three, two-family dwelling units, each on separate lots (in accordance with a subdivision application). The surrounding property is almost entirely within the SF-4 district. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows this area to be in the City Center East District. The proposed use is not included in the Appropriate Uses or the Specially Permitted Uses of the City Center East District.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE IX: GENERAL REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 93: FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION, §93.14 CODES AND STANDARDS ADOPTED AND TITLE XV: LAND USAGE, CHAPTER 150: BUILDING REGULATIONS, §150.015 BUILDING CODES ADOPTED BY MAKING A MODIFICATION TO THE 2012 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING AND FIRE CODES ADOPTED IN OCTOBER 2013. Person presenting this item: Clint Ishmael, Fire Chief BRIEF: The City of Cleburne has adopted the 2012 International Codes to regulate and promote safety and sustainability of properties within the City. The City has also adopted local amendments to better address the needs and concerns specific to the community. An amendment to Section 903.2.9 adds an additional requirement mandating fire sprinklers for all self-storage facilities unless all units are separated by a one-hour fire barrier. After reviewing the existing amendment, the Fire Department has determined the amended requirement places an unnecessary burden on businesses wishing to develop self-storage facilities without substantially increasing the fire safety of the property. As an alternative to a one-hour wall surrounding each unit in the facility, a three-hour wall can be installed to create individual fire areas that are 2,500 square feet or less. The proposed amendment does not compromise life safety requirements designed to protect the public and firefighters responding to such fires. The Fire Department recommends adopting the proposed amendment for the 2012 International Fire Code and the 2012 International Building Code.
