Zoning and Annexation Committee October 22, 2003 Page 3 petition for rezoning which they need in order to qualify for grants. The property will be zoning CBD. Council Member Pfeifer noted that there have been several instances where a petitioner would like to have a business on the lower level and residential on the upper level. Mr. Sante stated that this would be a mixed use classification which are identified on the proposed zoning map. He noted that all maps can be accessed on the Baker and Daniels website. He also noted that eventually a "Book of Maps"would be filed with the Office of the City Clerk. Council Member Pfeifer requested that anything which has been sent to the various neighborhood partnerships and/or planners be also sent to the Council Members; and that any future information also be sent to the Council Members. She added that when a resident calls with questions about such information and the Council does not have it, that it would be helpful for all such information to be shared. Mr. Valanzano then reviewed the handout entitled "Summary of Selected Yard and Landscaping Regulations" (#3 handout attached). In response to a question from Council Member Pfeifer, Mr. Valanzano noted that landscaping will have four (4) components: perimeter yards, foundation of building, interim parking lot and parking lot screening.

He noted that he has proposed new language on page 15 (2) Zone Map Amendments (B) which was not initially included in the ordinance on file in the Office of the City Clerk, with this language resulting from one of the video conferences. Mr. Valanzano added that in that same handout on page 16, he has proposed a new paragraph (D) Supplemental Plans, which also resulted from a video conference. Council Member Pfeifer noted that the new language addressing the Executive Director appears to be discretionary and therefore he or she could refuse to request information from a petitioner which the Council believes is needed. The Council Attorney noted that the Council may wish to consider having a zoning bill when read for first reading referred to the Zoning and Annexation Committee first, noting that the Council has a 30-day period to refer to the Commission under state law. The bill could then be listed under the
