At this time staff was asking that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to include a new Neighborhood Business District. Once the District has been established, staff may start the process of rezoning some of the above parcels. There were three items within the Ordinance that the Planning Commission had requested the a modification of or clarification about. They included restrictions on liquor stores and taverns, - changing the Land Use Zoning District Chart to include financial institutions and services, and verifying the height limitation of pedestal lighting. The proposed Ordinance has been changed in Section A, 2, C to include the language "Automobile related, liquor stores and taverns would not be allowed in the Neighborhood Business District." The Land Use Zoning District Chart has been modified to include financial institutions and services as a permitted use. Staff determined there was not a clear-cut definition for pedestal lighting; however, the typical height used would be 14 feet. Staff recommended the proposed Ordinance be modified to state: "Security and parking lot lighting shall be on pedestals not to exceed 14 feet in height."
