• <br />• <br />Staff Report February 20, 2003 <br />Proposed Zoning amendment process <br />Background• <br />During Summer and Fa112002, the Commission conducted several workshops to review <br />the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning District Map and the Comprehensive Plan. The <br />Commission determined that changes were needed to ensure continuity between the two <br />documents. After cazeful examination of the zoning map, the Commission identified 64 <br />azeas that could potentially be rezoned. Staff was asked to determine all the property <br />owners within 200' of these areas. Our reseazch generated a list of over 3,500 property <br />owners. <br />Commission initiated rezoning of property requires the following: 1) notification to the <br />owner of the property, 2) a letter of notification mailed to property owners within 200' of <br />the land to be rezoned, 3) public notification advertised in the newspaper of an upcoming <br />public heazing before the Commission, 4) a public hearing held and recommendation <br />from the Commission regazding the rezoning, 5) a public notification advertised in the <br />newspaper of an upcoming public heazing regazding rezoning before the City Council; <br />and 6) public hearing and action at during a City Council meeting regazding the <br />Commissions recommendation on the rezoning. <br />To facilitate the rezoning process, Staff and the Commission discussed a series of public <br />hearings to accomplish this task. However, prior to the public heazings, additional <br />reseazch regazding the rezone of the property is needed. In addition, text changes and new <br />language must be drafted for the amendment of Ordinance 1501 and the inclusion in <br />Chapter 106 of the Code of Ordinances. <br />This information could be presented to the full Commission for review or given to a <br />subcommittee to for review and submittal to the full Commission. <br />Options to the Commission: <br />The following options aze available to the Commission: <br />• Work as a full Commission; <br />• Create a subcommittee of Staff and 3 Commissioners; or <br />• Create an alternate scenario., <br /> <br />
