Alderman McAndrew commented that she understands the ordinance to specify that in order to have an establishment in the entertainment district it is required to have a conditional use permit. City Attorney O’Keefe confirmed that there is permitted use and then accessory use. The primary use which is an entertainment use and that requires conditional use permit and we would also require a specific conditional use permit to have entertainment as an accessory. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question regarding a proposed new restaurant, City Attorney O’Keefe stated that two conditional use permits would be required. City Attorney O’Keefe noted on record that the draft ordinance would require minor clerical discretion “clean-up” due to incorrect numbering of sections. Motion made by Alderman Winings to amend Bill No. 6727 by the text of Bill No. 6727.1. Alderman Boulton seconded. Motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.

Mayor Harris opens the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that this is a public hearing to solicit input regarding a staff-initiated amendment to Chapter 405 (Zoning Regulations) Article X. Planned Unit Development District. Staff and the City Attorney’s office have identified areas of the regulations that are unclear, contradictory to other code required processes and in general, need updating. Jane Matoesian, 119 N. Bemiston, addressed the Board wanting clarification as to the purpose and changes to the Code.

Susan Istenes clarified that the goals (provided in the Board’s packet) formats the proposed changes. Primarily, staff wanted to update the Code to provide clarity and make it easier to navigate to avoid confusion on approved uses for PUDs as well as SDDs. What is essentially changed is the format in which the PUD would be approved to mimic how it’s structured in the current Code for each of the zoning districts. There would be a small booklet that includes examples (building height, square foot of structures, number of dwelling units, setbacks, etc.) of various instances that is already structured in the current Code therefore there would be no changes to the process, but instead make it much easier for the applicant. Alderman McAndrew commented that a lot of the purpose to propose the amendment seems to be to have a more identifiable place for the public and for developers to go to and see which makes it more definable. City Attorney O’Keefe added that one of the goals was to make this more understandable for potential applicants and for the public.
