She sa id th is is a base rezoning request and th e property Is located on the east side of 3500 South Clarkson Street. Just for background, a base rezoning removes the current zon ing classification and replaces II with another classification that Is from Table 16-3-1 .1 of the UDC . For this particular app lication, ii would change the property zoning from MU-R-3-B : Mixed -use Res idential/Limited Office-Retail District, to a MU-B -2 : Genera l Arterial Bus iness Zone District. The result of that rezoning Is that the property would then be zoned MU-B-2 and all uses permitted within an MU-B -2 zone distr ict would be perm itted on that property . The applicant , Cra ig Hospital, has subm itted all required documents . They have conducted the required neighborhood meeting . The application was reviewed by the Devel opm ent Re view Team and no issu es were Identified by the team . The Planning and Zoning Commiss ion cono ucled a Public Hearing on Aug u I 7th and by a vole of 7-0 recommended approval of the rezoning request.

General lllscusalon (a) Mayor's Choice (i) Mayor Wolosyn said I want lo bring up the request for a proclamation honoring the 100th anniversary of Englewood Bible Church. I know that the church has been Instrumental In community life and , in my area of town, It serves as the polling place . And every year It hosts a very big National Night Out and to that extent It has been very involved with the community. And in the past, it served as a staging ground for the parade . So , I think that a proclamation would be in order for an older institution in the town and it has participated in a broad spectrum of community life. Council Member Tomasso said I bel.Jve It is worthwhile for a proclamallon and others agreed . Mayor Wo losyn said okay. In a future meeting, we will get back to you and we will have a proclamation . Ms . Burget said thank you . Mayor Wolosyn said thank you for coming .
