e e INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Subject: Bob Herrera, City Hanager Ervin J. Gl~iffith7Building Official/ t;:{), .4- n Zoning Administrator ~cJ ~~ Joel H. Albrecht, Director of Community Development ,- Six Month Review of City Zoning Ordinance No. 1501 To: From: Through: Date: February 23, 1988 Attached is a draft copy of the Six Month Review to Ordinance No. 1501, which has been recommended for favorable consideration to the City Council by the Planning & Zoning Commission. All proposed amendments have been incorporated into the text. All changes are indicated by means of vertical black bars located in the right margin. An index of all proposed amended changes has been included in this pacl(et. Also included are three map exhibits. Maps A & B indicate the three zoning reclassifications recommended for approval by the Planning & Zoning Coomission. Zoning boundary lines are drawn on these exhibits as they will appear on the City's Official Zoning Map if the changes are adopted by Counc il. Map A concerns Block 93; Bayfront Subdivision. Map B concerns two tracts located in the 9900 Block of West Fairmont Parkway. Map C involves interpretive changes being made in the Myrtle Creek, W. Main area. These changes are being made in accordance with Section 2-700 of the zoning ordinance. The purpose of these changes is to shift zoning lines so they coincide with property lines, rather than bisecting tracts. As these changes do not require Council action, this exhibit is included for informational purposes only. The Staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission would like to point out to the City Council that Section 11-507(8) of the proposed Six Hon th Rev iew dra ft for the Zon ing Ord inane e does include a pa ragraph concerning existing p~rmissive legislation on the "3/4 rule". If the City Council kept this paragraph in the draft, it would require three-fourths of the members of the City Council voting favorable to overturn a recommendation for denial by the Planning & Zoning Commission. It would only take a simple majority to deny a favorable recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission.
