CITY COUNCIL
City Council Meeting Date: December 19, 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SUMMARY
This item was imitated by staff for the purpose of eliminating minor conflicts between the current zoning
ordinance and recent amendments to the commercial and industrial distncts. As you may recall, the City
recently passed amendments to the C -3, Highway Commercial, C -4 General Commercial, BP Business
Park, LI Tight Industrial, GI General Industrial and HI Heavy Industrial districts Amendments to
these specific districts created tumor conflicts with the old standards in the General Provisions and District
Development Regulations sections of the zoning ordinance. Now that the commercial and industrial text
amendment process is complete, staff initiated the current set of amendments to "clean up" these tumor
conflicts. Staff would hke to emphasize that the current set of amendments are merely "house keeping"
items and will not modify the new standards enacted dunng the commercial and industrial districts
amendment process.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to review this item on November 28, 2006. Minutes from
that meeting are attached for your review. After hearing a presentation from staff and no comments from
the pubhc, the Commission unanimously recommended the City Council approve the proposed
amendments.
ISSUE ANALYSIS
Attached for your review are copies of the proposed amendments. None of the proposed amendments
will change the performance standards recently reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by
the City Council. Staff considers these amendments to be minor "housekeeping" items necessary to
ehminate conflict or redundancies between the current zoning ordinance and the amended commercial and
industrial districts. It was necessary to have these "house keeping" items come after completion of the
commercial and industrial text amendments process because the impact of those amendments on the
ordinance as a whole was unforeseeable.
Section 11 -2 -5 General Provisions for Rooftop Mechanical Systems. At present, this section
addresses standards for rooftop mechanical equipment throughout the City. The proposed amendment
would reference the additional standards approved for rooftop mechanical equipment in the updated
commercial and mdustnal distracts.
Section 11 -5 -1- District Development Regulations for Dimensional Standards. Currently, this
section contains a table summarizing the lot and building standards for all zoning districts throughout the
City. The proposed amendment would update this summary table to reflect the changes made m the
individual commercial and industrial districts.
Section 11- 5 -2.A.2 District Development Regulations for Supplementary Regulations of Building
Type and Construction in Commercial Districts. This section contains generalized exterior budding
material standards for all four commercial distracts within the City. The proposed amendment would
eliminate conflicts between this section and the new extenor building materials standards customized to
the individual commercial districts.
Section 11- 5 -2.A.3 District Development Regulations for Supplementary Regulations of Building
Type and Construction in the Business Park District. This section currently contains generalized
exterior building material standards for the BP -1, BP -2, BP -3, and BP -4 distracts. These four districts were
consolidated into one BP Business Park distnct. The proposed amendment would eliminate conflicts
between the four old districts and the new extenor building materials standards customized to the new BP
Business Park districts.
Section 11- 5 -2.A.4 District Development Regulations for Supplementary Regulations of Building
Type and Construction in the General Industrial District. This section contains generalized exterior
building material standards for the City's industrial districts The proposed amendment would update this
section to reference the new exterior building materials standards for the individual LI Light Industrial,
GI General Industrial and HI Heavy Industnal districts.
2
Section 11- 5- 2.A.6.f District Development Regulations for Dimensional Standards for Accessory
Buildings and Surface Parking. Similar to Section 11 -5 -1 above, this section contains a table
summarazing the lot and budding standards for accessory buildings and surface parking in all zoning
distracts throughout the City The proposed amendment would update this summary table to reflect the
changes made to these standards in the individual commercial and industrial districts.
Section 11- 5- 2.B.1.b District Development Regulations for Supplementary Regulations of
Supplementary Height Regulations Permitted Exceptions. This section contains supplementary
height regulations for solar collectors, chunneys, smokestacks, elevators and stairwell penthouses,
antennas, transmission towers and the hke throughout the City. The proposed amendment would
reference the specific height regulations for these types of accessory structures that were added to the
individual industrial districts.
CONCLUSION
Recently, the City Council approved amendments to the commercial and industrial sections of the zoning
ordinance to implement the existing policies of the Comprehensive Plan as well as the new pohcies set
forth in the 42/52 Land Use Plan Overall, those amendments focused on updating architectural and
outdoor storage performance standards as well as reallocating uses to more appropriate distracts.
Throughout the amendment process, the Planning Commission and staff worked extensively with
members of the pubhc and mterested business owners to create consensus Each amendment was
reviewed and approved by the City Council after a public hearing by the Plannmg Commission.
At the completion of that process, staff identified seven sections of the current zoning ordinance that had
minor conflicts or redundancies with the amended text. The attached amends eliminate these differences
and insure that the new performance standards will apply to all future development projects within the
commercial and industrial zones.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendments, making minor changes to the seven
sections of the zoning ordinance detailed above to eliminate conflicts with recent amendments to the
commercial and industrial sections of the zoning ordinance.
