previous vote, opining that there was no reason to stand in their way if the City Attorney and Planning Department had determined that this method was the best way to achieve it through a text amendment. Member Boguszewski stated that he was confident in their rationale and opinion; and spoke in support of the request. Member Keynan spoke in support of the request as well, and for the proposed route taken; opining that it was good thinking and a good plan overall. Chair Gisselquist echoed the comments of Member Boguszewski, expressing his support in defining “student housing” as a use versus “dormitory” in the code language. Chair Gisselquist opined that he would support this as it created an opportunity for the college in meeting their needs; and he had no issues with the request. MOTION Member Keynan moved, seconded by Member Daire to recommend to the City Council APPROVAL of the TEXT AMENDMENTS to Section 1001 Definitions, Table 1005-1, and Section 1011.12E Property Performance Standards of the Zoning Ordinance; based on the comments and findings of Sections 4-6 and the recommendation of Section 7 of the staff report dated May 7, 2014. With concurrence by Mr. Paschke, Member Murphy spoke in support of the motion as stated; noting that further consideration of revising boarding school language as discussed relative to Section 5.1 of the staff report could be revised in the future following staff’s research. If appropriate, Mr. Paschke noted that further language revisions, if consistent with tonight’s Planning Commission discussion, could be added to staff’s recommendations before this request was heard by the City Council; and the chart changed accordingly and if still appropriate, and at the discretion of the Commission. By consensus, the Commission agreed to this process as described by Mr. Paschke, asking that the Planning Commission be copied with the report resulting from that research and the revised recommendations to the City Council. Mr. Paschke duly noted that request. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried.
