CITY COUNCIL MEETING
COUNCIL MEETING Wednesday, July 28, 1999 7:00 p.m.

Council Member Siebach moved to place this item on Unfinished Business for the next regular City Council meeting.
MOTION: Judy Siebach

Motion carried with six "aye" votes. Council Member Watts was excused.
UNFINISHED COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. Proposed Changes to Zoning Ordinances and Zoning Map, primarily involving eliminating some zones no longer necessary or not in use from the ordinances, making some changes to the regulations of nonresidential districts, adding a design review and approval process, and changing and shifting of some uses in non-residential zones from permitted to conditional requirements. Bruce Talbot explained the changes in the proposed ordinance since the last meeting. He stated that he could not find statistical data to support further restriction of dance halls, tattoo parlors, or pawn shops. The current restrictions will remain. He also explained that sexually oriented businesses will be allowed only as a conditional use in the Light Industrial Zone, rather than in a commercial zone.
Council Member Siebach asked if the distance restrictions for sexually oriented businesses would be redefined as a conditional use or if the current distances would remain in force.
Mr. Talbot explained that the distance requirements will remain the same. Each business will be required to meet all of the existing regulations prior to obtaining a conditional use permit.
Council Member Siebach moved to adopt the proposed changes to the zoning ordinances and zoning map, primarily involving eliminating some zones no longer necessary or not in use from the ordinances, making some changes to the regulations of nonresidential districts, adding a design review and approval process, and changing and shifting some uses in non-residential zones from permitted to conditional requirements.
