6. Topic: Reintroduction of Ordinance 1802(6) amending the official zoning map setting forth permanent zoning classifications and regulations for property owned by The Order of the Franciscan Fathers located at 2457 Browns Lake Drive.

Presenter: Tom Kircher
Purpose: This property was attached to the City December 7, 2004 and a portion of the property was permanently assigned the B-4 zoning classification on September 5, 2006 by Ordinance 1802(6) in error. The Plan Commission had recommended that the property be assigned a B-1 zoning classification. A public hearing was held on August 15, 2006 by the City Council for the proposed B-1 zoning classification. However, due to a scrivener’s error the Ordinance 1802(6) the ordinance adopted by the City Council assigns this undeveloped parcel of land the B-4 zoning classification. The re-introduction and adoption of this corrected Ordinance will correct this error AND allow for consideration of Ordinance 1812(16) that eliminates the B-4 zoning classification from the City’s zoning codes. Until this correction is made the Council should not take action approving Ordinance 1812(16), eliminating the B-4 zoning classification. Inasmuch as this Ordinance corrects a scrivener’s error and is therefore a housekeeping matter it is included on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.
