15 The primary entrance to the shelter facility will be located on Market Street. 4. ORDINANCE : HEALTH CLINICS IN B-1 ZONES Mr. Tolbert said that as staff began working with the Free Clinic on their proposed expansion, staff realized that in 2003 health clinics had inadvertently been taken out as an allowed use in B-1 zones. He said two ordinances have been presented to Council: one that allows all health clinics by right and one that allows health clinics by right except for those over 10,000 square feet which would require a special use permit as recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Lynch made a motion to approve the Planning Commission recommendation of allowing health clinics by right except for those over 10,000 square feet which would require a special use permit. Ms. Hamilton seconded the motion. Mr. Brown asked if Council wanted to make a distinction between private and public health clinics, and Mr. Lynch said his motion was based on no distinction. The ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 34 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE (1990), AS AMENDED” was offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. PUBLIC Ms. Naomi Roberts, 1140 St. Clair Avenue Extended, said that her assessment did not go up, but her son’s assessment on Greenbrier Terrace went way up, and she expressed concern about whether he can afford to live in the City. Ms. Roberts said her assessment likely stayed the same because of the condition of rental property adjacent to her house. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Norris asked that staff pull together a meeting on the Pavilion noise prior to the season beginning. Dr. Brown said he has been approached about providing funding for the wheelchair basketball tournament, and asked if Council would be amenable to providing $2,000 out of Council reserve. He said he feels the event will be good for the community. On motion by Mr. Taliaferro, seconded by Mr. Norris, Council authorized $2,000 out of Council reserve for the wheelchair basketball tournament by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. Taliaferro. Noes: None. Ms. Hamilton said she would like to find a resolution to the problem of the house on Charlton. She said the roof leak has never been resolved and water is in the floor boards. Mr. O’Connell said that the owner of the property has refused mediation and signed off on all documentation. He noted that Mr. Mason is not the owner of the property. He said Mr. Mason ran off AHIP workers will they came to do work. He said he is not sure what resolution there is. Mr. O’Connell noted that new trash pickup days began today as well as recycling of certain plastics and cardboard. Mr. O’Connell reminded Council of the work session on vision themes on Thursday. The meeting was adjourned. _____________________________ ___________________________
