Live - <br />Work properties are not allowed to sub - divide and shall remain under a single <br />ownership. The LMC does not prohibit the renting of either the residential or commercial <br />portions of Live -Work units. Commercial land uses will be limited to those allowed in the <br />MUR and CC Zone Districts. <br />Staff has identified needed LMC amendments to ensure the City's water ordinance <br />(Title 13) reflects the operating characteristics of the Live -Work land use category and <br />present an equitable fee structure ensuring applicants are charged fairly for City water <br />services. The proposed changes to Title 13 recognize live -work land uses are defined <br />as a single property with one or more structures that combine a commercial activity <br />allowed by -right in the underlying zone district with a single residential living unit. Live <br />work units are expected to be small in scale and present unique water demand not <br />currently recognized in the LMC. Modifications to Sections 13.08.030, 13.12.020 and <br />13.12.040 of the LMC would address water service connections and water tap fees for <br />live -work uses. There will be no new customer class and there will be one tap for the <br />two sub - meters to monitor the water flows. The on -going charges would reflect the <br />commercial use would be charged the commercial rate and the residential use would be <br />charged the residential rates. <br />Staff Recommendation: Staff recommended City Council approve Ordinance No. 1697, <br />Series 2015, amending Sections 13.08.030, 13.12.020 and 13.12.040 of the Louisville <br />
