ITEM NO. 11:     AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 20-403 (JCR)

TA-06-11-07: Consider amendment request from Landplan Engineering to amend Section 20-403, the Nonresidential District Use Tables to permit “Quality Restaurants” in the IL District. Initiated by City Commission on June 19, 2007.

STAFF PRESENTATION

Joseph Rexwinkle presented the item.

The applicant submitted a request for a text amendment to the Land Development Code.  If approved, this amendment would permit Quality Restaurants in the IL District. In discussing the applicant’s proposal, Staff determined it necessary to permit Accessory Bars in the IL District as well. 

By definition, Accessory Bars must be accessory to Quality Restaurants.  Many uses defined as Quality Restaurants include Accessory Bars.  For consistency, Staff suggests that Accessory Bars be permitted as an accessory use in the IL District if Quality Restaurants are permitted.  Additionally, Staff recommended that Accessory Bars be permitted in the CO District as well.  This district permits Quality Restaurants as well, thus it appears that this use was inadvertently left out of the use table upon publication.

PUBLIC HEARING

No public comment.
