PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
Commissioner Greiner recommended that the Commissioners accept
the UDC recommendations, and Commissioner West seconded.
There was much discussion among the Commissioners/Staff/Deputy
Attorney regarding changes between the UDC and the existing
ordinance.
Vice -Chairperson locco asked staff to view Page 2 — 102, on Plumbing
Shops. He questioned why a plumbing shop was not permitted in M-2.
Much discussion ensued on the subject of Plumbing, and Vice -
Chairperson locco stated this needed to be addressed and needed to
add Plumbing under M-2. He also questioned what the definition of a
Plumbing Wholesaler and Electrical Wholesaler was.
Commissioner West asked what Vice -Chairperson locco wanted. He
stated he would like to see a"P" under Plumbing in M-2, and a definition
of a Plumbing Shop. He also asked where Electrical Supplier fell into all
of this. Staff definitely needs to look at 2-102 in the UDC draft.
Commissioner West asked Deputy Attorney Doan what his opinion of
the UDC draft is. Deputy Attorney Doan stated that the chart should be
reviewed before adopting it.
Discussion continued in great detail on the definitions, especially the
word 'shop'.
