During the meeting, the staff presented the resolution numbered 4469-24, highlighting the need for the temporary structures to facilitate the sales and marketing of the townhome development. It was explained that the developer originally planned to use a designated area for the temporary sales trailer and parking, which would later be moved to a permanent model home sales office upon construction. The staff recommended approval of the amendment, noting that all accessibility requirements for parking would be ensured during the building permit process.

The amendment’s approval was unanimous, with no members opposing. The next step involves the developer seeking a building permit for the sales offices, with the staff’s recommendation slated for presentation to the city council on June 3rd.

The meeting additionally covered logistical matters such as meeting schedules and the upcoming Land Development Code work session. A future work session was scheduled for June 4th, with a regular meeting to follow on June 18th.

In the discussion, there was a mention of amending the Land Development Code to make the inclusion of sales offices a permissible use in subdivisions, a proposal that the board seemed to favor. This would streamline the process for future developments, as currently, sales offices either need to be approved in the preliminary subdivision plan (PSP) or require a special exception.
