OLD BUSINESS:

  1. Proposed Zoning Text Amendments in Commercial/Industrial Zones.  Mayor and Council had asked Planning and Zoning to review the permitted uses in these zonings and recommend certain undesirable uses be moved to conditional uses.  Chairman Young read the following proposed text amendments.  Under the C-1 zoning, service stations, mini-warehouses and new or used auto sales and service will be moved to conditional uses.  These uses will also be moved to permitted uses in the C-2 zoning.  Under the C-2 zoning, truck service centers, mobile home sales, bars and nightclubs will be moved to conditional uses.  Add restaurant with or without alcohol sales to (B) permitted uses in a C-2 zoning. Under I-1, Light Industrial zoning, add to (B) permitted uses:  truck service centers, mobile home sales, bars or nightclubs.  Chairman Young stated that for the record she wanted it noted in the minutes that she is opposed to these changes.  Following some discussion, a motion was made by Debbie Ryan Watts to approve the proposed text amendments.  Motion was seconded by Joe Harmon and passed with Larry Olliff opposing. 
  1. Discussion of a change in the PUD Ordinance that would allow a property owner to add purchased lands to their existing PUD Master Plan.

The board had discussed the changes proposed during the PUD Review Board meeting.  A motion was made by Joe Harmon to approve the change in the PUD Ordinance pending the change recommended by Attorney Wiley Ellis regarding the definition of “contiguous”.  Motion was seconded by Larry Olliff and passed without opposition.
