Shelly's Homesites 2025 Proposals
Below are the key proposals for the Shelly's Homesites 2025 program, aimed at fostering a better community through focused initiatives.
Proposal: Strengthening Accountability for Land Use Compliance
This proposal aims to ensure that investment companies owning residential properties in Shelly's Homesites comply with zoning regulations and are held accountable for unlawful activities conducted on their leased or rented properties, particularly in areas zoned as R-1 Single Family Residential.
The objective is to preserve the character of our residential areas and prevent commercial or otherwise non-compliant activities from detracting from the neighborhood's quality of life. This includes reviewing and enforcing existing ordinances more rigorously, and potentially introducing new measures to address common issues arising from absentee ownership and commercial use in residential zones.
Proposal: Tax Base & Land Use Proposal: Multi-Family Occupancy Accountability in R-1 Zones
This policy introduces a refined residential zoning category—R-1 Multi-Generational—to recognize and regulate occupancy dynamics beyond traditional single-family norms. It balances tax equity, residential character preservation, and targeted enforcement—especially for investment-owned properties that function more like revenue-generating multi-unit complexes.
Proposal: Balancing Maintenance and Storage of Vehicles and Watercraft
When it comes to maintaining and storing vehicles—including watercraft such as boats or jet skis—within residential areas like Shelly's Homesites, careful attention to zoning and community standards ensures a balanced approach that safeguards neighborhood harmony while protecting individual property rights.
This proposal seeks to clarify guidelines for the visible storage of recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, and ongoing vehicle maintenance activities. The goal is to prevent visual blight, address potential environmental concerns (e.g., fluid leaks), and maintain the aesthetic appeal and residential tranquility of Shelly's Homesites for all residents.
