<br />She found on Page 119 what addressed commercial parking lots and proposed parking lots. She <br />stated she thinks it is a good plan whether Area B is included or not. She is concerned about the <br />artificial boundaries that do not take into account what is on the west side of Kingsland Avenue <br />or the south side of Delmar. She asked if there was any way to look at what is going on outside <br />of the boundaries and what else is available in the vicinity. She stated she is concerned about <br />this corner [Delmar and Kingsland] and has seen its development from the beginning. Kingsland <br />is the only north/south corridor that goes to Page and Olive. It is stated within the plan that a <br />Kingsland trolley could be next. Perhaps there are compromises that could be made. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoal stated that the planning boundaries go to the alley south of Delmar. <br /> <br />Ms. Moran stated that it does not go west of Kingsland. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoal stated that the Loop was challenged with parking and that in the Plan they have <br />increased parking. <br /> <br />Ms. Moran stated that the problem sounds like it is structured parking vs. surface parking. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that the appendices addressed the parking study. <br /> <br />Mr. Senturia asked if there were any further public comments or questions. There were none. <br /> <br />Zoning Text Amendment Proposed amendment to Article 8 of the Zoning Code <br /> <br />Mr. Senturia asked for some background information for Ms. Locke as the new member. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that the proposed Text Amendment dates back to the last election. There were <br />some enforcement issues regarding political signs. It generated some reaction about why the <br />ordinance was enforced in the way it was. Staff had been instructed to look into the ordinance <br />and see if it required an amendment. It went before the Code Review Committee first and then <br />to the Plan Commission. The Code Review Committee met and made a recommendation. It <br />came before the Plan Commission at the last meeting at which time it was referred back to the <br />Code Review Committee for further discussion. The Code Review Committee met and made a <br />recommendation which was provided in the packet. Also provided was the memo staff prepared <br />for the Code Review Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai added that the Plan Commission Chairman indicated on the phone that he supported the <br />recommendation from the Code Review Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Senturia asked for questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens added that the recommended language was in Attachment B of the memo included <br />in the packet. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that legal counsel was in attendance to answer any questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Senturia asked for clarification about the proposed exemption and the Section it pertained to. <br />tm;  šE  <br /> <br />
