An Ordinance providing for the mdoption of a revised, codified and re-arranged planning and zoning ordinance code for the City of North Olmsted, and repealing previous ordinances inconsistent therewith, as amended. Mr. Coggin moved for adoption, seconded by Mrs. 5aringex. Mr. West as?ved to postpone action on Ord. No. 75-218 to date certain of Nov~er 26, 1976. Mr. West stated this will give an opportunity to fully review this plan. He think: the Comprehensive Plan has some real good points in it and it has some bad points. For instance, he feels we could get all of the other good out of the Comprehensive Plan if we allowed commercial in some of the areas that we do not allow right now, and gat the benefit of the comprehensive plan in other places. Mr. West feels if he were an owner of land on Lorain Rd. he would want an alternate zoning other than comas:rcial which they do not have now other than single residence and that the comprehensive plan would provide for this alternate zoning in case commercial was not available to them. Also, if the proposal on the ballot in November election pasa~e , and Mr. West explained the Charter Amendment, then the revised comprehensive plan could be put on the ballot by Council and could settle the point once and for all - how do the subdivision feel and how are they going to vote on it. Motion was seconded by Mr. Beaty. Mr. Beaty stated he has been on B.Z.& D. Committee since the first of the year and he is not ca~pletely sold on the Plan as a Whole and he does not agree with the Lorain Rd. portion of it which is the obfectionable part to the people here tonight to voice their opposition as in the past. Mr. Beaty cannot go along with the way it is set up. Feels if we were able to add a commercial classification to Lorain Rd. in addition to the multiple family - thane is still a lot of good which could come out of the plan. There has been a great deal of time and work put into it. Mr. Beaty stated many points in the proposed Plan that he is in favor of - i.e, reduction density requirements, parkieg; sues; architectural review board and believes if this was adopted With enough teeth in the Architectural Review Board that it could control and could restxict the way commercial development did progress along Lorain Rd. and that w+a would be able to have a orderly development of North Olmsted. Roll Call on Motion to postpone Ord. No. 75-218 to date certain of 11-16-76. Affirmative vote: Beaty, West. Negative vote: Boehmer, Coggin, Saringer, Sharpe, Wilamosky. Motion defeated.
