Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2011 Page 6 Chief Mathwig responded that, from his perspective, the existing pawn broker in the City was beyond qualified and had been more than cooperative with the Police Department. City Attorney Bartholdi opined that the proposed language would in no way hind- er the City from considering a new application or denial for reasonable cause, while providing existing license holders some preference. Mr. Bartholdi advised that there were constitutional issues in limiting a prospective location; and that additional discussions and further modifications may be indicated following addi- tional discussions and research among the City's Community Development De- partment staff and the City Attorney's office. Councilmembers McGehee and Johnson expressed their individual appreciation for staff's time and research in bringing this recommendation forward. Mayor Roe called for public comment; however, no one appeared to speak for or against. Mayor Roe concurred that further discussion on how to address pawn shops in the City's Zoning Code was warranted; and asked that staff look at other types of similar businesses during that next step in this process. Johnson moved, Willmus seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1414 (At- tachment A) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title Three, Section 311.03, to Limit the Number of Pawn Broker Licenses in the City." Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Pust; McGehee; Johnson; and Roe. Nays: None. b. Consider a Resolution Adopting the Twin Lakes Sub-Area I Regulating Plan and Consider an Ordinance (and Ordinance Summary) Amending Section 1005.07 to Incorporate the Twin Lakes Sub Area I Regulating Plan Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon and City Planner Thomas Paschke were available for this presentation. Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon briefly summarized the con- text for the proposed Regulating Plan and staff's recommendation for this impor- tant document, as detailed in the RCA dated September 12, 201; and specifically in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the RCA. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed mitigation efforts as further outlined in the RCA, as well as incorporation of suggestions provided dur- ing previous discussions with the City Council and the public, both at the Plan- ning Commission and City Council levels.
