Basically, the proposed changes dealt with definitions, the B-3 Highway Business District, and park dedication. In summary, Lhe Bi-3 District regulations proposed broadened the permitted uses to include retail activity and pmfes~;ional offices in addition to those uses currently listed as acceptable conditional uses in that districti contingent upon meeting certain criteria. The criteria for conditional uses was then added iatb their performance standards section. This section also proposes that any site in non- compliance with ~)te improvements (blacktop or concrete surfacing and curbing) will have to installed the requiLed site improvements by January 1, 1997. The proposed iamCndments to the definitions section eliminated the opportunity to include road right-of-waY!when determining minimum lot area and included a definition of parcel. The proposed iame~dments to those sections dealing with subdivision design standards and park dedication b~aSicall~,.require the developers to not only dedicate land for parks and trails to satisfy park dedication reqmrements, but also to install the improvements. On November 24, i1992, there was an audience request to add day care services to the permitted uses in the B-3 Dis[trier. The introduction of the proposed ordinance was tabled for further review at the reqUest of C6unciimember Hardin.

Day care s~rvices was added as a permitted use. To eliminate any confusion, the term 'maximum lot coverage' has been changed to 'maXimum :structure area'. Irem #t under Subdivision 4 (Performance Standards) was revised to upgrade exterior wall finishes. 5. Severa~l itel'ns in Subdivision 4 (Performance Standards) were reviewed and rewritten for clarifi~ati°m purposes. The proposed brdigance is enclosed for your review.
