Based on analysis, staff is recommending first reading the zoning ordinance 228 amendment that is included in the ordinance that will accomplish the allowance of churches in 229 business districts as a conditional use and change the liquor code change to recognize that 230 churches and liquor uses will be occurring in the same district. The Planning and Zoning board 231 held a public hearing on the application and unanimously recommended approval of the 232 proposed ordinance amendments. 233 234 A council member noted concern that the change seems odd and there is no certainly as to it's 235 impact in the future.
