Chris Glickman, Gladstone Company Representative, 2105 Walnut Mr. Glickman acknowledged staff's recommendations related to their concerns and spoke in support of staff's recommendations that reflected the vision for their property; and related zoning map changes. Megan Dushin Ms. Dushin requested the inclusion of noxious odors in the proposed code, similar to that of the existing code; definitions added for "injurious" and "surrounding neighborhoods;" and in the Table of Allowable Uses to have both of those items referenced with a "y." Recess Mayor Klausing recessed the meeting at approximately 8:50 p.m. and reconvened at approx- imately 9:00 p.m. Council Discussion Discussion ensued regarding how to make the amendments to ensure they were incorporated into the appropriate chapter, and cross referenced throughout the document; and whether to make the changes with the ordinance going forward or using this as a working draft for future presentation prior to adoption. Mayor Klausing opined that, with both he and Councilmember Ihlan having worked through the numerous drafts and revisions to -date, it was their responsi- bility to take the requested action if at all possible, rather than putting that burden on a future City Council; while recognizing that as amendments come forward, there would be additional opportunities for refinement as indicated. Mayor Klausing suggested processing those amendments having Councilmember consensus as a start. Councilmember Ihlan asked that each amendment be done in the form of a mo- tion. Councilmembers Roe, Pust, and Johnson spoke in support of tracking changes and proceeding with a motion on the revised document tonight if that point was reached. 1001. Introduction (1001.03 Intent and Purpose) Pust moved, Johnson seconded, directing staff to include an additional regulation established to: "Protect and enhance the character, stability, and vitality of resi- dential neighborhoods as well as commercial areas;" based on the references by Mr. Grefenberg.
