Session Room of the Municipal Complex.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
No one was present to speak.
WORK SESSION
1. Consider revisions to the nonresidential districts of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
with the consultant.
Stanland distributed and led a brief discussion of the complete draft of proposed revisions,
including a compilation of both residential and nonresidential requirements. He noted that the
residential regulations of Article 3 and the residential uses on Article 5 have been previously
adopted by the City Council. However, some revisions to these is still feasible, such as the
reduction of the side yard requirement from ten (10) feet to 8.5 feet as has been previously
discussed. Commissioners should note any other concerns with these portions.
P&Z Work Session
June 11, 2001

He mentioned that the definitions of Article 11 are still incomplete, and that additions as well as
revisions to these will come from in-depth review of regulations within the main sections. Some
sections, such as the sign regulations of Article 8, will retain their own definitions.
Thompson encouraged Commissioners to read through the draft during the next two weeks, and
to mark any concerns or questions they have within the document. Commissioners need not
provide detailed answers/solutions to concerns, but merely identify areas which they believe
require further consideration or revision. Marked up drafts should be returned to Thompson by
Friday June 29, or a meeting may be called that week to receive and review comments. Stanland
will then revise the draft and prepare a final for the joint P&Z and Council work session on July
23. Marked up copies will be returned to Commissioners.
Both the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council will hold at least one public
hearing each to receive public comments before the revisions are finally adopted by Council.
While the draft is under review by the Council, staff and Stanland will work out with the P&Z
Commission how to transition to the new districts and regulations and initiate the process of
revising the map and rezoning actual parcels.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion to adjourn was made by Commissioner Porter, seconded by Commissioner Wiseman.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:27 p.m..
