Title XV, Chapter 152, Section 152.142 (Permitted Conditional Uses LI Light Industrial District) This section of the City Code needs to be modified to reflect the direction provided by the Planning Commission and the City Council to remove assembly, meeting lodge, or convention halls as a permitted conditional use. The current text reads as follows: I'he following uses are permitted in an LI District only by a conditional use permit issued by the City Council: (G) Assembly, nneeting lodge, or convention halls; (11) Catering operations and in-house cafeterias not intended for retail or public use; (1) Day-care center without drive-through facilities. Staff recommends eliminating references to assembly, meeting lodge or convention hall (noted in st++heflwo gh tex!) and re -lettering the remaining permitted conditional uses (noted in italics). Staff recommends the following text to replace what is currently in the City Code: The following uses are permitted in an IA District only by a conditional use permit issued by the City Council: ('=`b-meett+gfedge s,,.,,�,., aNf (1 y (G) Catering operations and in-house cafeterias not intended for retail or public use: (I) (11) Day-care center without drive-through facilities. DISCUSSION The revised definitions and changes to the City Code are intended to show that there is a clear intent for various land uses allowed in residential, commercial and industrial districts. By removing all assemblies from the Light Industrial District and allowing all assemblies (secular and religious) in the Commercial District, the City Code should also be in compliance with the Religious Land Use and hnstitutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). Staff has consulted with the City Attorney on the proposed changes, and Inas concluded that they are consistent with the direction provided by the Planning Commission, City Council, and with federal law. ACTION 1. Approve the Recommended Changes to the City Code. In the event of a recommendation for approval, the City Council may refer to Exhibit A and may modify the recommended ordinance as it deems necessary. 2. Request Additional Information. In the event the City Council finds that there are unresolved issues regarding the proposed changcs by staff, the City Council should continue the meeting until a later time.
