19 Responding to a question from Mr. Cox, Mr. Tolbert said that when the south side of Jefferson Park Avenue was put back as high density, the north side remained R - 3. He said the entire corridor is in an overlay zone. PUBLIC Mr. Kevin Kotlarksi, 2316 Fontaine Avenue, asked if there will be another opportunity for public c omment on the zoning ordinance. Mr. Lynch said he is open to having another public hearing and to giving the public more time to digest the ordinance. Mr. Caravati said he does not see any harm in having another public hearing. Ms. Richards noted tha t there is no legal requirement for another public hearing, and feels it is more important to take the ordinance to neighborhoods. She said that if another public hearing is held Council is likely to hear from the same people who have spoken repeatedly. Mr. Schilling said Ms. Richards makes a good point, but erring on the side of prudence, he would support having another public hearing. Mr. Cox said he would personally prefer to go out and promote the ordinance once it is adopted. Mr. Schilling said he does not think one action precludes another. It was agreed that a public hearing and the first reading of the zoning ordinance nd would be held on September 2 . OTHER BUSINESS REPORT : JUVENILE AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS COURT DESIGN Mr. O'Connell explai ned that a community meeting on the design of the Juvenile th and Domestic Relations Court was held on June 19 and the Board of Architectural th Review discussed it on July 15 . He said there are traditional and contextual (modern) design alternative. Mr. C ox said Councilors need to clearly state some direction so the project can move forward. Mr. Schilling said his preference is for the traditional design because he feels it fits better in the context of Court Square. He said we also have to consider the ramifications of disagreeing with the Board of Supervisors about the design.
