6i. Docket No. 135-01 Z; Home Place District Overlay Zone

These two items have been placed back on the Plan Commission agenda for the Commission to
forward an additional recommendation to the City Council. The Plan Commission acted on both
petitions last month. However, at the time only two Ordinances had been prepared to address the
text and map amendments for each overlay. Legal Council has brought it to the attention of the
Department that the Council must act on two separate ordinances for each area overlay. One
. ordinance would address the creation of the text for the new overlays and the other would amend
the Official Zoning Map identifying the designated areas.
Nothing of substance has changed. If the problem had been recognized within ten days of the
Plan Commission meeting we would not have had to place the item back on the agenda.
However, the statute requires the Plan Commission Certification to come within ten days of the
vote. As a technical matter, we need the Plan Commission to duplicate its recommendation.
The Department recommends that both items be forwarded to the City Councll, with .
favorable recommendations (separate votes for each). This will allow the Department to
assign the Certification to the appropriate Ordinances and forward the items to the City
Council for action.
