COMMUNICATIONS: Ordinance No. 2006-058: An ordinance amending section 1118.03 of the zoning code (Business and Industrial District Standards) in order to impose residential conditions and standards for business and industrial conditional uses that are located upon property that is contiguous to property zoned for residential use. Ms. Wenger believes that the ordinance is a good idea however there are some short comings to the ordinance. She believes that the intent of the ordinance would be better served as the zoning codes are updated and implemented. Mr. Conway suggested that 98% of the lots within the city abut residential property. Lots along Lorain Road have split zoning and may have 900-feet depths with 500-feet being commercial and they will be penalized due to the remaining 400-feet of their land being zoned residential which does not make sense. Mrs. Meredith agreed with Ms. Wenger and did not believe the ordinance adequately address all the districts. Mr. Lasko believed that the Planning & Design Commission already had the authority to enforce conditions or place restrictions on a proposal based on adverse impacts the proposal may have on abutting landowners. Instead of a piecemeal solution the ordinance should be created through comprehensive analyses of the zoning code. Mr. Burns voiced that he was in agreement with all the comments made and felt that the topic could possibly be addressed under a different section of the code. Mr. Yager likes that Councilman Gareau is proactive in trying to address issues and update city zoning codes, but believes that Citiy's administrative staff should be involved prior to the ordinance being requested or submitted. J. Lasko moved that Planning & Design Commission recommend Council adopt Ordinance 2006-058, section 1118.03 of the zoning code (Business and Industrial District Standards) in order to impose residential conditions and standards for business and industrial conditional uses that are located upon property that is contiguous to property zoned for residential use.
