At your last meeting, the Planning Cammission reviewed a proposed ordinance on this issue. Th� proposed ordinance also included a minimum lot size requirerr�ent for churches and commerciai uses, and a number of clean-up items. The City Attorney has advised that it is best ta praceed as if the 60-day n,ile applies to this requesi. Staffhas notified Mr. Moon that the City is extending th� time period for review of his request for an additional6� days, or a tofial of 120 days from the date oF submittal. The Plannin� Commission needs to act on Mr. Moon's request by October 9 i� arder for staffto have enough time to place this reques� before City Council for action. At your last meeting, the Plannirag Commission requested an ordinance be drafted which addressed Mr. Moon's specific request and the additional of a minimum lot size requirement for churches and corrunercial uses. Discussion StafF has prepared two ordinances for the Planning Commission's review. Draft #4 is a barebon�s proposal which adds Mr. Moon's request to our existing Cocle, and a one acre mirumum lot size for churches and any commercial uses in the R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 districts. Draft #4 includes no cleanup items, and more or tess relies on the way the existing Code is organized. Stafffeels ihat there are some problems with this approach and would urge the Planning Commission to consider Draft #3.
