These sections coverthe Use of Building Type Templates and Use of <br />Regulations within the Gateway District Development Code. Specifically, the Commission had been <br />asked to clarify the language laying out the Use of Regulations in the Gateway District and removing <br />specifically permitted uses within the definition of the "Commercial' category of 9.6.5(A) General Terms <br />and Permitted Uses and 9.6.5(B) Accessory Alternative Uses. <br />Commissioners discussed what types of businesses would be affected by the deletion of language <br />referring to "automotive repair and service (including gas stations) and looked to clarify the reasoning <br />behind singling out this type of use or business. <br />Commissioners discussed whether or not the list of activities under the "Commercial" section was <br />intended to be exhaustive or merely representative and were unclear about how this move would affect <br />some businesses currently operating in the Gateway District. <br />,J <br />
