<br />Possible Code Amendments <br />August 20, 2003 <br />Page 2. <br /> <br /> <br />The last proposed amendment concerns the structure of the Zoning Code and how permitted <br />uses are identified. (Attached to this report is Chapter 1113 of the Zoning Code relating to <br />the B-2, Limited Business district which exemplifies the City’s unwieldy zoning scheme.) In <br />each district, uses are explicitly identified. If the use is not listed, it’s not allowed. While <br />there is some benefit to having articulated lists of uses, the problems tend to outweigh the <br />benefits. The difficulty magnifies with each passing year as new uses and technologies <br />enter the commercial marketplace while outdated and outmoded uses fall by the wayside. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Discuss the four identified possible code amendments and direct staff accordingly. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />James Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />1.
