MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Nielsen
DATE: 1 November 2007
RE: Draft Amendment — C-1, General Commercial Zoning District
FILE NO. Zoning (Section 1201.22)
Last year the City completed a revamp of its commercial zoning districts, paring the
number of districts down from five to three. The focus of the work was on allowable
uses and the elimination of two zoning districts. In the process of drafting the
amendments, we inadvertently left out the lot requirements, setbacks and building
regulations (Subd. 5 and 6). Oops!
The attached code amendment re-establishes Subd. 5. and 6. just as they existed prior
to last years changes. The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider
this "housekeeping" measure and voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the
revised section.
Staff has taken the liberty of placing this item on the consent agenda for Monday
night. Since I will not be at that meeting, please try to contact me before Monday to
discuss any questions you may have. My cell phone number would be best. If there
are questions that I am unable to respond to, I ask that the matter be continued to the
26 November meeting.
