ATTACHMENT 2 Item #2: Minor Site Plans This is an amendment to Chapter 165 – Zoning, to modify the standards for the submittal of a minor site plan. The current threshold for a minor site plan is “a revision that increases an existing structure area by 20% or less and does not exceed 5,000 square feet of disturbed area”. At the August meeting of the Development Review and Regulations Committee (DRRC), the Committee requested to increase the disturbed area from 5,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet to be consistent with the state requirements for a land disturbance permit. Staff has drafted a revision to the Zoning Ordinance to increase the square footage threshold for a minor site plan to 10,000 square feet. Staff would like to discuss with the DRRC the current Ordinance requirements and the proposed revisions Attachment: 1. Zoning Ordinance - Proposed Revisions Attachment 1 ARTICLE VIII DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND APPROVALS Part 802 – Site Plans § 165-802.03 Site plan and illustrative sketch plan contents. D.

Item #3: Extended Stay Hotels Staff has been directed to look at requirements for extended stay hotels. Currently the zoning ordinance does not differentiate between standard hotels and extended stay hotels – all are permitted in the B2 (General Business) District. Extended stay hotels typically offer accommodations for more than 30 days and also provide cooking facilities for each unit. Currently, the City of Winchester defines extended stay hotels as: 1-2-35.1 EXTENDED STAY LODGING: One (1) or more buildings containing individual sleeping rooms, designed for and used primarily by business travelers for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, with garage or parking space conveniently located to each unit. Cooking facilities are provided for each unit. Units are not intended to be primary residences. (8/12/03, Case TA-03-01, Ord. No. 031-2003) The City also requires a conditional use permit within many of their zoning districts for this use. Staff would like to discuss with the DRRC the current Ordinance requirements and facilitate a discussion on proposed changes to regulate extended stay hotels.
