OLD BUSINESS None.
NEW BUSINESS Manning presented two items that he wanted the Zon-
ing Commission to discuss.
Expansion of Per-
The: first
item for discussion was
current policy
mitted Uses for
regarding
issuing building permits
suggesting the
Issuing Building
expansion
of permitted uses under
the Comprehensive
Permits
Plan categories. For instance, in
High Density
Urban you
are allowed RA-1, RA-2,
RA-3, B-1, B-2
zones and
the recommendation from
the City Attorney
is that this is too restrictive and that there
should be some overlap possibly allowing for some of
these horizontal permitted uses to overflow into
another category.
Verma clarified by stating that the City ordinance
has has established a relationship between land use
classifications of the Master Plan and the zoning
categories. The City's Zoning Ordinances are more
restrictive in the uses allowed in their various zon-
ing categories. Manning is saying that the aim is to
broaden the category and allow more uses in the var-
ious land use classification areas.
Motion Trippet moved that the Commission recommend the
broadening of the land use classifications to the
City Council so that the Council could refer it back
to the Zoning Commission. The Commission could then
gather all the needed information and present a com-
plete referral .to the City Council. This was to be
done in a letter by Stephens. The motion, seconded
by Sloan, passed unanimously.
Transition Area Manning referred to a letter from Ross Planbeck.of
C-2 to CLM the Community Redevelopment suggesting that in the
transition area that is going on with the theoret-
ical proposed Mall to expand the uses allowed in the
n CLM to include C-2 uses so that rezoning of the area
will not be required.
Stephens asked if the CLM was too restrictive?
Manning stated that C-2 zone was more flexible than
the CLM.
Verma suggested that the decision on that be post-
poned so that it can be studied more.. There may be
uses allowed in a C-2 zone that would not be desire -
Able in the CLM district. The planning staff could
research this and send the information out in the
next packet. Verma also suggested that Manning take
this request to the Council and recommend to them
that they ask the Zoning Commission to study it and
make their recommendations.
ADJOURNMENT Sloan moved for adjournment. Trippet seconded the
motion. The meeting was adjourned at 8:56 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,.
