One area within the proposed ordinance disallows the use of the "PD" Planned Development Overlay to deviate from the standards as written: • Elimination of sidewalks along the street, public or private upon which a townhouse has frontage. Amendments to all applicable sections of the zoning ordinance relative to the elimination of public utility uses as a conditional use: As the ordinance is currently written, "public utility uses required to service the district" are considered permitted uses within nearly all sections of the zoning ordinance and as such could be approved administratively without Council oversight. This use has broad implications that perhaps were not fully realized when originally written. Any type of public utility use could be interpreted to meet this requirement and because of this the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council may wish to consider eliminating this use within the permitted use paragraph of all relevant sections of the zoning ordinance. In a situation where a public utility related use is requested, Section 49, Special Uses has a provision for these uses which would allow the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council the oversight necessary to consider the appropriateness of such requests. 2 R.
