The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. REPORT Councilman Gareau, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, February 24. One of the items discussed was Ordinance No. 2003-144. After a discussion and input from resident Mr. Jim Burns, Planning Director Wenger and Director of Law Dubelko, a recommendation for approval was made with two amendments. The amendments would include a restriction to anywhere where the Director of Planning was given the authority to review a submittal to the City of North Olmsted, that the review process by the Building Department and the Planning Director for the 30-day window would be a concurrent review process. That would then reduce the time involved in reviewing the submittals themselves. Also, there was an amendment that would clarify and delineate when the discretion of the Director of Planning would be able to utilize outside services in the plan review process. With those two amendments made, the committee unanimously recommended approval. Therefore, this evening, Ordinance 2003-144 will be on second reading as amended. Councilman Gareau made a motion to amend the language of Ordinance 2003-144 to include "as amended" in the designation of the legislation. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. Ordinance 2003-144 was amended. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2003-144 introduced by Councilman Gareau was given its second reading as amended. An ordinance amending Sections 1126.03 and 1126.04 of Chapter 1126 of the Planning and Zoning Code entitled "Commercial and Other Building Permits," to provide for the Director of Planning to review development plans, as amended.
