Mr. Bleile said the proposal meets Roadmap En glewood for densification. Not e nou gh shown a rchi t ec turally; voting no with th e citizens. Mr. King generally lik es the concept of the project, but due to public comments voting no. Chair Brick said the project will help businesses in th e City and meets the criteria for a PUD. • Motion carried. • • • Pl annin g an d Zoning Commission Publi c Hearing Flood Middle S chool PUD , Study Session Brewerie s and Distilleries Case #ZON2012-003 and Case #2012-05 October 2, 2012 Page 5 of 6 Ill) Mr. Roth moved: Mr. Welker seconded: THAT CASE #SUB2012-002 TO ALLOW A MAJOR SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS ALTA CHERRY HILLS SUBDIVISIO N WITHIN THE FLOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUO ) BE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL WITH A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR ADOPTION.

What that means is any limits that the Commission wants to set are up to our discretion. He provided information on licensing of various types of establishments. There is no local control except through zoning. He referenced options that were included in the Staff Memo. He asked the Commission if they would like to include some amendments in the Unified Development Code to address these uses. Consensus from the Commission was to move forward with the discussion in the future. Director White said there is one other topic on Staff's list for discussion; PUDs. What is the process? Staff would like to hold a Study Session to discuss PUDs. The Commission asked the topic be placed on a future agenda. IV. PUBLIC FORUM ~ There was no public in attendance. V. ATTORNEY'S CHOICE ~ Ms. Reid had nothing further to report. VI.
