ZONING & ANNEXATION AUGUST 10, 2015 3:50 PM Committee Members Present: Oliver Davis, Valerie Schey (XAB), Henry Davis, Derek Dieter Citizen Members Present: Ron Okoye Other Council Present: Tim Scott, Dr. Fred Ferlic, Dr. David Varner, Karen White, Gavin Ferlic Others Present: Jack Smith, Chris Fielding, Bob Emery, Larry Magliozzi Agenda: Bill No. 29 -15 Amend the SBMC Chapter 21 Planned Unit Development Districts The Zoning and Annexation Committee was called to order to consider bill 29 -15 intended to amend the City Code in terms of Planned Unit Developments. All members were present with the exception of Valerie Schey who had been excused for a migraine. Present as well was the newly appointed member Ron Okoye. Oliver Davis called upon Larry Magliozzi, the Executive Director of the Area Plan Commission to make the presentation. With the help of a handout (attached) Larry explained that the intent of the bill was to simplify and strengthen the language in the Planned Unit Development (PUD) section of the Zoning Code. He said the bill would eliminate the need for special exceptions by more clearly delineating what was allowed by the Code. Larry went on to say a PUD district encourages the imaginative use of open space, promotes high standards in design and construction, and furthers the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. Brief Council questions followed. Henry Davis asked if this change affected labor's status at all. Larry said not at all. Dr. Varner asked if the changes impacted further development of Eddy Commons. Larry said it actually facilitates development. On a motion by Derek Dieter seconded by Oliver Davis and supported by all the bill was forwarded favorably. the meeting at 4:04 PM Zoning & /Annkxatio� Committee
