Ordinance
PC Docket No. 4-02 OA (Text Amendment)
The petitioner seeks to make amendments to the C-2/0Id Town Chapter of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Filed by the Department of Community Services.
The CarmeVClay Plan Commission forwards this ordinance to the Common Council with a
unanimous (10-0) Favorable Recommendation (see enclosed certification).
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded to the Annexation and Land
Use Committee for review and that the Council adopt the Ordinance upon receiving a
recommendation from the committee.
Drief description and hackground information~
The goal ofthis amendment, similar to Z-373-02 (also enclosed) for the C-lICity Center, is to
allow for more flexibility during the ADLS process for redevelopment projects. As the C-l
and C-2 areas are being developed, high quality designs are conceived due to the ability to
negotiate materials, finishes, textures, signage, and landscaping details. These details are
difficult to quantify within the C-l and C-2 Ordinance. The proposed amendments do
continue to require the same level of review but provide for greater design flexibility in the
regulations to be administered as part ofthe ADLS procedure.
