With no further questions from the Committee or Council, Committee Chair Davis opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. Stephen Hayes, 1219 White Oak Dr., stated, I live in the Wooded Estates Neighborhood. I emailed Council most of my concerns. The biggest concern was it is more student housing and we want to make sure we know who is going to be in the homes. We also want the look and feel of the development to be consistent with the environment already there. We were also concerned with the privacy, but that concern seemed to be dealt with. We are more comfortable with where we are at, but we want to make sure we know these agreements will be upheld if there is a new owner. With no other members of the public wishing to speak in favor or in opposition to the legislation, Committee Chair Davis turned the floor back to the Committee for further discussion or main motions. Committee Chair Davis clarified with Interim Council Attorney DeRose that the written commitments agreed upon within the ordinance would be held throughout any ownership. Interim Council Attorney DeRose verified that is correct. Interim Council Attorney DeRose also clarified which set of written commitments that will be accepted, and it was answered that the seven(7)presented by Ms. Penn are the agreements to be accepted and adopted. Committemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 04-17 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. This motion was seconded by Committeemember John Voorde and carried unanimously by a voice vote of five (5) ayes.

On the site we currently have a vacant lot. To the north and east of the site, the properties are zoned PUD—Planned Unit Development. To the south of the site is a vacant lot zoned LI—Light Industrial. And to the west of the site is Martin's Corporate Headquarters zoned GI—General Industrial. The site plan is two point three (2.3) acres. There is no planned development on the preliminary site plan however if there was to be any, it would have to meet all the standards set forth in the LI—Light Industrial District. In 2010, this area was rezoned from GI—General Industrial to PUD—Planned Unit Development. The petitioner has proposed written commitments that limit the possible uses, and limits the height to ninety(90) feet. With the information given this evening, and prior to the public hearing, the APC staff recommends the zoning petition be sent to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Rezoning this site to LI will allow for the expansion of the business in the manner, intent and design established by Martins. Michael Divita, Department of Community Investment with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, stated,After working a few years on this project,the Redevelopment Commission recently sold this parcel to Martins to give it the flexibility to expand their 4
