Miller, Community nevelopment Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />A Public Hearing was held at the May 7th Planning Commission meeting to discuss amendments to <br />Chapter 9.16. After tiiscussibn of the proposed amendments, the Commission requested clarification on <br />the different types of heliports allowed by the ordinance and where they would be allowed to .locate. Staff <br />has made the requested changes and clarifications. <br /> <br />Notification <br /> <br />The Public Hearing to consider amendments to Chapter 9.16 (Heliports) and amendments to Conditional <br />Use Standards in R-1 Residential, R-2 Residential, R-3 Residential, B-1 Business, B-2 Business, <br />E-1 Employment, E-2 Employment Districts and Town Center Sub-Districts 1,2 & 3 was <br />properly advertised in the official City newspaper. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Effective October 25,2004, the Zoning Code was amended to inciude section 9.16 Heliports. At the time <br />this section was added to the code, theTown Center zoning districts did not exist. During Council <br />discussion it was suggested that at some point we may have businesses or medical facifities in Town <br />Center that may wish to take advantage of a heliport. However, because of the density of the residential <br />areas in Town Center, it would notbe recommended for the residential districts. Changing the title of the <br />Chapter to Heliports from Personal Use Heliports was an additional change. These two items in addition <br />to the special use permit were the only recommended changes to 9.16. <br /> <br />(- <br /> <br />Additionally, the specific districts were never amended to include Heliports as a ConditionahUse even <br />though that is the process through which an applicant must go to obtain a permit. Each district in which <br />Heliport would be allowed has also been amended to include it as a Conditional Use. <br /> <br />Funding Source: <br /> <br />All costs associated with processing the City Code amendments are handled through normal staff duties. <br /> <br />Recomm~ndation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance #09-_ amending 9.16.03 (d) and 9.16.04 (b) and 9.20 to <br />include Personal Use Heliports as a Conditional Use as stated in 9.16 and listed above. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Ordinance #09-_ to amend City Code 99.16 (Heliports) <br />and 9.20 to include Heliports as a Conditional Use as stated in 9.16.. <br /> <br />-or- <br /> <br />57 <br />
