Janet Warlick, Gray Enterprises First item on the agenda was approving the minutes from the August 20, 1987 meeting. There being no corrections on the minutes, a motion was made and seconded to accept the minutes as read. Minutes were approved. • Next, Mr. Latirner• brought up the fact that the next planned meeting of the P & Z Co-nmission was for October 1, with the following meeting on October 15, 1987. I3e brought up the fact that- the October 1st meeting was also the daL-e of the Chamber meeting and that at least 2 members would be out. Because of this he reouested the meeting be moved to the 8th of October, with the second meeting being moved to the 22nd of October. This was approved by the Board. Discussion of six (6) month review on the Zoning ordinance (~~1501) continued. Mark Letais began where he left off at the last meeting; Item IJo. 8, page 4. Section 5-600/6-400 - Residentia] & Commercial Use Ta'ole Staff suggests the residential and commercial use tables be arr-ended as follows: Breeding kennels for dog$ and cats in "R-1" as a conditional use with (C,D); as a accessory use, requiring al_l licenses requested by the City. It was also noted that the footnote Baas numbered incorrectly. The Ordinance Pdo. 158 should also be Ordinance No. 1358. P~iark explained that anything dealing with kennels will be a new SIC use in the ordinance. ICennels were left out and not dealt with at all previously. Anything done now with the kennels will involve inserting new SIC uses into the tables. • Planning & Zoning P-iinutes September 17, 1987 Page 2 Janet asked a question concerning birds - as to whether or not they will be covered under this SIC use. Mark stated that the Animal Control Ordinance deals strictly with dogs and cats and does not address birds. SIC tdo. 0270 - does include aviaries. Breeding b_ennels (0279) as a conditional commercial use, but after more thought, felt that this was not necessary. It was decided that it would be "C" in GC. (0279) and ~~' in NC. Boarding Kennels (0752) as a conditional commercial use only. Section 6-400 - Table A - Commercial Duplicated numbers - Freight forwarding - No. 4712 Arrangement of passenger transportation - Ido. 4722 Staff suggest they delete the double entry and insert into Sect. 6-400 Table "A" only. Section 5-701 - Table B Footnotes Staff is suggesting a 3 ft. setback instead of the now required 10 ft. setback.; still requiring the 15 ft. rear yard. The easement would be a rninimum of 3 ft. Section 6-600 (E)(d) - Off Site Parlcin~ Staff is asking for a change in wording only in this case; should read "this ordinance shall require a zoning permit, not a certificate of occupancy. There will be no fee on this. Section 7-500 - Table "A" Industrial- Locating welding and machine shops - neither of these listings are included in any of the ordinance's use tables. Staff is suggesting these listings be included on the industrial use table in the following rnanner: (•lelding shops (7692) Permitted in B.I., L.I., H.I. Machine shops (3599) Permitted in B.I., L.I., H.I. • Revie~a by Commission and discuss at next rneeting. • ~ • • • Planning and Zoning t~?i.nutes September 17, 1987 Page 3 hlark discussed the new listing added to the heading of the SIC Use Table - P(ABC) - Permitted Uses (subject to designated criteria established Section 5-800). This would keep some requests from having to come before the P & Z Commission and could be handled by the Code Enforcernerrt Department and Zoning Administrator. This is merely a way to speed up the process and help the citizens. Each change was gone over by Park at this time - changes made to staff°s proposal were in the Daycare Centers;' changed from Permitted in R-2, R-3, P•9H to Conditional. All others were discussed and okayed by the Commission. Everything was discussed with the exception of the landscaping and screening requirements, which caill be discussed at the October 8th meeting. l~Iext meeting any old business caill ~be discussed and an'~ one wishing to make public comrnents can do so at the next meeting. There being no further business a motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting.
