August 6, 2019 Mark Statz, Centerville Page 7of 7 RE: Downtown Zoning Updates 3) We recommend that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed changes to the “Master Plan & Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville” OPTIONS For each of the three actions and recommendations above the Planning and Zoning Commission can: 1) Move to recommend approval and adopt Findings in support of the motion; 2) Move to recommend denial and adopt Findings in support of the motion; or 3) Move to continue the item(s) for further discussion or to gather additional information. FINDINGS OF FACT If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the actions above, the following Findings of Fact could be cited in support of those decisions. (1) The City wants to maintain a mixed-use Central Business District with a balance of retail and moderately dense residential housing. Given these priorities, updating the standards for the mixed use and downtown neighborhood districts is reasonable and appropriate. (2) With the updated standards to the M-1 and M-2 districts, it is necessary to rezone properties to be consistent with guided land use. Updating the zoning map is therefore both reasonable and appropriate. (3) The Master Plan & Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville is a document that was adopted by the City Council in 2006. Over time, some of the language and standards in the document have changed, and therefore it is reasonable and appropriate to update the document. (4) The Zoning Code directly references the Master Plan & Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville document, and therefore text changes to the zoning code are also reasonable and appropriate.
