Present: Bleile, Roth , King, Welker, Calonder, Krieger, Knoth, Fish , Brick, Kinton Absent None Staff: John Voboril, Planner Nancy Reid , Assistant City Attorney II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES March 3, 2009 Due to the March 3 rd Minutes being inadvertentl y omitted from the meeting packet th ey w ill be approved at the April 21 st meetin g. Ill. UDC TEXT AMENDMENTS FOR THE NEW MEDICAL ZONE DISTRICTS ~ Mr. Voboril stated the Public Hearing for the UDC text amendments and the rezoning of the medical district is scheduled for May 5, 2009. Staff has been working on assembling the text. The City Attorney's office is currently reviewing the text and Public Works is working on the legal descriptions for the districts . He referenced two large maps. The first map is the original map of the district the Commission has previously seen and the second one shows the same area with boundaries following existing property lines, keeps the medical campus w ithin the same zone district and adjusts the boundary on the southern end . The second map is the one that will be used in the rezoning process. Ms . Reid asked if the boundaries shown are consistent with the Swedish PD . Mr. Voboril stated he did not know at this time but would check . The first text changes added two provisions to the section entitled District Regulations to b e Uniform . The Commission approved the additions . Next the Commission re v iewed the Table of Allowed Uses. M01 has been added to the residential category and M 1, M2 and M02 added to Non-Residential. Each individual use section was reviewed. The Commission asked that hospital use be removed from the • • • '\ Planning and Zoning Commission Study Session Case #2 008-003 , Small Area Plan Ap ri l 7 , 2009 Page 2 of 4 MUR3B and M01 sections. Ms . Reid will check to see is that is possible . The Commission stated if it cannot be prohibited can it be changed to conditional? Mr. Welker would like to see Bed and Breakfast a permitted use in MUR3B . Mr. Voboril noted these amendments are for M 1, M2, MO 1 and M02 only. Since the MO 1 category is included in the MUR3B category they would have to be separated to include Bed and Breakfast in M01 and not in MUR3B. Ms . Krieger said there are only a few properties and it makes no sense to go to a lot of work for just a few properties . The Commission wanted to know what the meaning of "Dormitory" was. Mr. Voboril read the definition. The Commission felt it does not apply and should be removed as an Accessory Use. Food vendor carts will be added as a Temporary Use in M 1. A new line item will be added under Use Specific Standards for Residential Uses that reads : 6. One-unit dwellings in the M-1 and M-2 Zone Districts are permitted only as replacement uses for one unit dwellings that existed on the effective date of this title. Ms. Reid noted there already was a number 6 in the Code so the numbering would need to be changed in the final version . New line items will be added for Parking Areas, (Surface) and Parking Facilities, (Structure ). The Commission agreed with both additions . A new chart has been added entitled Table 16-6-1.1 a: Summary of Dimensional Requirements for Principal Structures Located Within Medical Zone Districts and Overlay s. Mr. Voboril reviewed the chart. Some members thought the chart was too complex and others felt it was fine as is . Ms. Reid suggested dividing it into two charts. After discussion it was decided illustrations showing where the zoning heights are located and one showing where the special zoning for lots fronting Hampden, Jefferson and the 3500 block of Logan and Clarkson would be helpful. Mr. Voboril stated he would add those. Mr. Roth noted there was a footnote 6 in the chart, but none listed. Sections were added to the Additional Dimensional and Developing Standards section entitled: • Maximum Retail Gross Floor Area Exemption • Minimum Lot Size Exemption • Setback Requirements • Minimum Lineal Street Frontage • Zone of Transparency • Required Building Entrances • • • '\ Plan n in g and Zoni ng Commissio n Stu dy Sess ion Case #2 008-003 , Small Area Pl an A pril 7 , 2009 Pag e 3 of 4 The Commission would like an illustration of the Maximum Ret ail Gross Fl o or A rea Exe mption showing the arterial and collector streets. A diagram will also be don e for th e Zone of Transparency. Under Required Building Entrances the Commission asked that th e word units be remo v ed and building be added. Mr. Voboril stated after discussions with Staff, the bulk plane requirements will not be enforced in the MU-B-1 , MU-B-2, M-1 , M-2, M-0-1, M-0-2 or TSA zone districts. Next, changes to Tabl e 16-6-1.2: Summar y Table of Dimension al Requir em e nts fo r Accessory Structure s was discussed . Driveway requirements in residential and non -residential were revi ewed .
