The City Council has directed the Plan Commission to offer a recommendation on a
zoning ordinance amendment that would change two sections of the U.S. 31 Overlay Zone
Ordinance.
One proposed change in the ordinance would allow the Plan Commission to disapprove
a Development Plan within the corridor and would add the "Comprehensive Plan" as one of the
eighteen criteria the Plan Commission considers when reviewing a Development Plan. The other
proposed change would not allow more than 15% of the square footage of a building to be used
for retail uses.
The Department recommends approval. The Commission will need to suspend the rules
of procedure in order to take action.
