Way. ZC 2009-03 (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the applicant is requesting to rezone the property to
Corridor Commercial. The applicant has indicated that the land will be developed with a retail use;
specifically General Merchandise or Food Store greater than 5,000 s.f.. This use is not allowed in LI but is
allowed in CC. The City land use map calls for medium density residential on the south tract and Light
Industrial on the north tract. However, this tract of land, if rezoned CC would create a contiguous
commercial corridor with the CC zoning district on SH78 as the north tract of land is adjacent to that
district.

(L. Vaughan, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Vaughan addressed Council stating that the mid-year budget amendments are generally
intended to cover unanticipated and/or unavoidable revenue and expenditure adjustments to the adopted
budget. The detail is attached to Ordinance No. 2009-18 for the requested items which are located within
the General Fund. She explained that the requests are further defined as neutral (matching revenues to
expenditures), revenue increases, or expenditure increases. The Fire Department is requesting three full
time fire fighters in lieu of utilizing volunteer fire fighters. She explained that the fund to pay part time fire
fighters would be used to offset the three full time personnel. Other General Fund amendments are offset
by grants. She noted that there were a couple of amendments to other funds which include the Public
Arts Fund, Thoroughfare Impact Fee Fund (shared expenditure with WEDC) and the Fleet Fund to cover
damaged vehicles.

other benefits. The full time firefighters will be fully trained and dependable. Part time personnel
