All Ayes. Motion carried. Rural Preservation Program Ordinance Amendment (Continued) The Commission continued discussion on revisions to the Rural Preservation Program (RPP) Ordinance. At its September 14, 2006 meeting, the Commission held a public hearing to consider revisions to the ordinance. A motion was made and seconded to recommend to the Council to rescind the cluster (Rural Preservation Program) ordinance and recommend all properties in the Rural Residential and Agricultural Zoning Districts be rezoned to Long Term Agricultural. A motion was then passed to table the ordinance amendment until the next meeting. McRoberts made motion, Weidt seconded, to bring the motion from the last meeting off the table for discussion. All Ayes. Motion carried. Schumann made motion, McRoberts seconded, to amend his previous motion to keep the zoning at one home per ten acres and rescind the Rural Preservation Program Ordinance. Hoffbeck questioned how the ordinance would be considered by the Council if the Council did not approve the motion and act on the amendments without the Commissions input. Hoffbeck said the ordinance should be kept alive and pointed out the number of people who have worked diligently on it. The Commission discussed the definition and implications of the Long -Term Agriculture District. Schumann explained that his motion was to leave the zoning as is, not to rezone it to Long Term Agriculture.
