Motion carried. <br /> <br />Ayes: Commissioners Warren, Barrera, Martin, Follis, Bird, and Lawler <br />Nays: <br /> <br />Discussion on Chapter 106 (Zoning) follow-up items for review. <br />7. <br /> <br />City Planner Eric Ensey presented the staff report on the follow-up items from the Chapter 106 (Zoning) <br />review. At the February 19 th meeting, the Commission directed staff to draft language to the various <br />sections of the chapter that was discussed: <br /> <br />1.)Tree Preservation (Section 106-801, 802, 803) <br /> <br />No change was made to the cost of tree replacement, which is $50 per inch, with a cap of <br />$100,000. <br /> <br />An exclusion was added for individual single-family residential lots (Section 106-801). <br /> <br />No modification was made to the requirement for a tree survey or tree disposition plan (Section <br />106-802). <br /> <br />2.)Outdoor Storage in Main Street District (Section 106-511(c)) <br /> <br />Staff added a definition of “outdoor storage” to the Section 106-1 (Definitions). As drafted, this <br />definition only relates to non-residential properties. <br /> <br />The language in Section 106-773 (Exterior storage) addresses residential properties. <br /> <br />No modifications are proposed for the prohibition of outdoor storage in the Main Street Overlay <br />between Highway 146 and Virginia Street (Section 106-511). This will remain and is clarified with <br />the new definition of “outdoor storage.” <br /> <br />Temporary Signage (106-877) <br /> <br />An exclusion was added for governmental signs. <br /> <br />Language was added to allow for sandwich board signs in the Main Street District Overlay only, <br />provided such signs be located in a safe manner and removed at the close of each business day. <br /> <br /> <br />
