4.0B ACKGROUND Because this request is initiated by the City rather than by an outside applicant, the State- mandated 60-day timeline does not apply in this case; this is noted merely to explain the “n/a” (i.e., not applicable) notation in the Application Review Details section above. 5.0PZTC ROPOSEDONINGEXT HANGES The proposed zoning text changes are comprised within the draft ordinance included with bold this report as Attachment B; proposed insertions will be represented in text, and proposed deletions will be shown in strikethrough text. A brief discussion of the proposed changes can be found in the paragraphs below. 5.1Motor vehicle repair is identified in Table 1006-1, the table of uses pertaining to the Employment Districts, as a permitted use in the Industrial zoning district. Although Planning Division staff believes that the zoning code does not intend to limit such repair to smaller vehicles, the definition of “Motor vehicle repair” in §1001.10 (Definitions) imposes a limit which is equivalent to the size of large pickup trucks (e.g., Ford F350 or GMC Sierra 3500). This size limit makes sense in other zoning districts (e.g., Community Business and Regional Business) where motor vehicle repair is allowed, but Planning Division staff doesn’t believe that any particular size limit is necessary in the Industrial District. 5.2The proposed amendment to Table 1006-1 changes the pertinent table entry by modifying the name of the land use and by eliminating the “Y” in the “Standards” column of the table. (The “Y” directs the reader to another section of the zoning code for specific standards pertaining to the use, but no such standards exist, nor does Planning Division staff feel that any particular standards are necessary.) While the original notion for this only involved an amendment to the Industrial District, Planning ZONING TEXT CHANGE Division staff also proposes to add “Motor vehicle repair, large” to the zoning code’s definitions. 6.0PC UBLICOMMENT The duly-noticed public hearing for the proposed was held by the ZONING TEXT CHANGE Planning Commission on May 1, 2013, after which the Planning Commission voted unanimously (i.e., 7 – 0) to recommend approval of the proposal; draft minutes of the public hearing are included with this report as Attachment B. As of the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff has not received any additional communications from the public. 7.0R ECOMMENDATION Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 4 – 6 of this report, the Planning Division concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the .
