SUBJ: Zoning Ordinance Amendments
At the September 2Q, 1988 Regular Meeting, ihc City (:ouncil agreecl
' to table any discussion or action on pro}�c�sed zoning amendrnents,
until the hearing notice was republished with the prc�posed changes
included in the text. Originally, we felt we w�uld reschedule the
hearing for October 18 �r November L
Since that time staf€ has haci the opportu»ily to discuss the
amendments in greater detail tvith a few ec�uncil members. We feit
most of the suggestions for change were quite good; however, some
of these represented potentiai conflicts with. existing ordinanees c�r
plans and required a more tharough evaluation. I feel it is also
necessary to take the time to advise/inform the Planning Commissican
of the poEential changes, which may lead to eaen further
considerations.
Finally, we have held our first "Business ��rum," (}ctober i l, 1988
which was primarily a presentation by (;ommunity Development staif
on the guide plan, znning ordinance and building cc�de regulatory
purpose and process. There was overwhelming interest by those
present to formally partici�atc in the review �f the rtopose�i zoning
ordinance, We agreed and suggested that the C:hamber c�f Commerce
establish a committee to formally reuiew the ordinance.
The long and short c�[ lhis memc� is that �ve cannc�t rccommenc� khat
we proceed with tMe hearing c�n the propc�sed .imendments at this
time, based upon the above consiclerali�ns. It �nav even be most'
appropriale to consider these changes as part of the overall z�ning
ordinance revietiv. Plcase let me know about any ce�ncerns or
comments you may havc.
