RELATED TO THE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 2016-07, "MOTION TO READ BY `TITLE' ONLY." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KREBS. DISCUSSION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH NO OBJECTIONS. City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese read Ordinance 2015-07 by "Title" only and noted a scrivener's error in the Agenda Item "Regarding the similar Use provision - there should have been a `not' placed in the language. The way the matrix will work is that similar Uses that are not specifically listed in a transect can be approved by Special Exception provided the proposed Use is not listed in any other transect or not listed as a Permitted Use in another Zoning district. The intent of that is you can possibly get a similar Use authorization but if the Commission has designated that Use as Permitted or Special Exception in another transect, then - it can't be a similar Use under that specific transect. In other words, once the Commission makes a decision where a specific Use goes, you can't then try to argue it's a similar Use in another transect where it's not listed. It just protects the legislative integrity of the decision that was expressly made by the Commission. I just wanted to clarify that because there is an inconsistency between the way it was described in the Agenda Item and the way it is actually worded in the Ordinance." Attorney Garganese added, "The Ordinance is correct but the last bullet that's in the Agenda Item explaining the list of changes—forgot the word `not'." Mayor Lacey noted, "If we pass the Ordinance that is presented, we are good." Attorney Garganese confirmed, "You are good."
