The implementation of the zone change will reflect the recently approved guidelines <br /> which will help protect and maintain the character of downtown. <br /> The uses allowed in the new district will be nearly the same as what is currently allowed. The <br /> only changes to the Permitted Uses will be that the "sale of firearms" will be moved to <br /> Accessory Uses and that multiple family dwellings will be allowed provided that <br /> business/commercial uses occur at the street level. Under the Conditional Use section, "motor <br /> vehicle stations" was removed. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request to rezone <br /> certain properties currently zoned Cl (Central Commercial) and C2 (Office Commercial)to DD <br /> (Downtown District). <br /> III <br />
