JB\lb Attachment S:\PLAN_SHR\Council Boards Commissions\PZ\Letters&Memos\2013\Memo to Clerk Text Amendments-Downtown Sery Ctr Use Table 6-20-19.doc ITEM # 7 DATE: 06-19-13 COMMISSION ACTION FORM SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO DOWNTOWN SERVICE CENTER USE TABLE BACKGROUND: On October 9, 2012, Ordinance 4125 was enacted amending the Use Table for the Downtown Service Center Zoning District to permit Household Living in the first story of a building. In that ordinance, all of the information in the Approval Required and Approval Authority columns below Household Living was unintentionally shifted down one row. In the following segment of this table, "Retail Sales and Service-General" has "Y" in the STATUS column, yet the APPROVAL REQUIRED and APPROVAL AUTHORITY columns are blank. The row below has "N" in the STATUS column, but does have information in the APPROVAL REQUIRED and APPROVAL AUTHORITY columns. The "Entertainment, Restaurant and Recreation Trade" row has "Y" in the STATUS column, but has "—" in the APPROVAL REQUIRED and APPROVAL AUTHORITY columns, which belong in the row directly below. These errors continue throughout the rest of this use table. I able 29.S'llti('i Doak Inc N%11 Isi•rN ice ( enter(Ili( )/.ulli' l e, 11I.\I'11 U'I'Itrl\.\I.

Since this affects regulation of all uses in this commercial zoning district, it is important to correct the table as quickly as possible. A draft text amendment is attached 1 ALTERNATIVES: 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission can recommend that the City Council approve the zoning text amendment to Table 29.808(2) to correct the Downtown Service Center Use Table. 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission can recommend that the City Council not approve the zoning text amendment to Table 29.808(2) to correct the Downtown Service Center Use Table. 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission can refer the proposed zoning text amendments back to staff for further information. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Neither the Commission Action Form or the Whereas section of Ordinance No. 4125 referred to these changes in the Downtown Service Center Use Table. These changes created unintentional and major changes in this zoning district, which are currently in effect. Therefore, the Planning and Housing Department recommends that the Commission act in accordance with Alternative #1 and recommend that the City Council approve the attached zoning text amendment to Table 29.808(2) to correct the Downtown Service Center Use Table.
