This amendment will eventually be brought forward <br />in conjunction with the definition ordinance amendment (OA 18-02). <br /> <br />Along with the definitions, staff looked at all of the uses/terms listed in each zoning district and noticed <br />many similarities in uses/terms within the same district. The first part of this request is to combine <br />repetitive uses/terms into one and tie it back to a definition. <br /> <br />The second part is to shift uses, where appropriate, from a conditional use to a permitted use. The uses <br />proposed to be shifted are not anticipated to negatively affect the public health, safety, and general <br />welfare of the city residents. <br /> <br />The third part is to alphabetize each use in their respective sections. <br /> <br />The proposed changes are attached, and a key is located at the top of each page to indicate what is being <br />added, moved, or deleted. If you notice something was not transferred from the “old” language to the <br />“new’ language please let staff know. <br /> <br />The Key <br />The key used for all districts is noted in the header. The standard strikethroughs mean text is proposed <br />to be removed while underlines mean text is proposed to be added. <br /> <br />The yellow highlighted text references uses that have been relocated within a zoning district. For <br />instance, if something was a conditional use and was moved to a permitted use, it is highlighted yellow. <br /> <br />The blue highlighted text references a new use and/or language being added. <br /> <br />The green highlighted text references uses and/or language that have been removed entirely from the <br />zoning district.
