;~ <br />h <br />.~ <br />• • <br />DRAFT <br />May 12, 2004 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />If you are receiving this letter you are located in the proposed Main Street District. One <br />block north and south of Main Street is in the Main Street District. The residential <br />properly is affected by the regulations. This area is currently in a General Commercial <br />zoning district General Commercial zoning districts prohibit residential activity. (If you <br />currently have residential activity, it is considered non-conforming, meaning it cannot be <br />enlarged; and if it ceases for six months to have residential activity, only General <br />Commercial activities are allmnred on that property.) <br />This letter is a follow-up to our letter of March 26, 2004, explaining the Main Street District <br />process. <br />There has been a public hearing conducted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Over 15 <br />individuals spoke at the meeting providing input. <br />The Committee assigned to study the District has met several times and has started a visioning <br />process. <br />Overall, the Committee is looking at the current General Commercial regulations. The <br />Committee may recommend removing current regulations, modifying, or adding regulations. <br />While the Committee has made comments on public improvements (streets, public parking <br />areas, drainage, etc.), the essence of work is on the n~gulations to guide the District. The <br />Committee has no authority over the public improvements. <br />No decisions have been made on any aspect. The Committee will continue to meet the first and <br />third Monday of each month at 2:00 P.M. in the City Council Chambers at 604 W. Fairmont <br />Pkwy. It is anticipated it will continue to meet several more times. The Planning and Zoning <br />Commission will hear any recommendations from the Committee and will host at least one more <br />public hearing. The City Council would be the authority to act on any recommendation(s) from <br />the Committee or Planning and Zoning Commission. The City Council will also hold a public <br />hearing. <br />Attached is a copy of the General Commercial regulations. <br />Please contact my office at 281-471-5020, Ext. 257 if you have any questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nicholas Finan <br />Interim Planning Director <br />attachment <br />
