He said there has been a lot of <br />public input on the draft, but the Planning Commission does not want to rush it at the last <br />minute. He said that the Planning Commission made amendments to the ordinance <br />following the recent public hearing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said that the Planning Commission continues to work on issues in the <br />ordinance, primarily reduced parking requirements in University districts ; steep slope <br />development; protection in overlay zones; best practice language; and buffer <br />requirements in high density districts. He said staff is in the process of going through e - <br />mails received from the public on the draft ordinance, and the Planning C ommission will <br />discuss the ordinance at another work session. He said the goal is for the ordinance to be <br />sent to Council in July. Mr. Tolbert asked that Council provide their comments on the <br />latest draft in the next week. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said that the goal is to put the ordinance on Council's agenda without <br />Council having to rework it. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said that the public has been told that Council will hold one more <br />public hearing on the draft ordinance. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said she was impressed by the attendance a t the public hearing on <br />the zoning ordinance and with the Planning Commission's efforts to respond to concerns <br />expressed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch commented on the following issues: how much control of <br />development do we want to give up; buffer zones between neighborho ods and <br />development; application of special uses at edges of zones; and how to protect <br />neighborhoods from big box development in neighborhoods of Fontaine Avenue, <br />Belmont Avenue and High Street. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said the intent is not to change the characte r in those areas. He said <br />we need to make sure the matrix is right. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he would like to look at protection of structures that may not be <br />historic. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said we need to make sure we have the legal authority to do that. <br /> <br />
