The Planning & Zoning Commission (vote of 7-0) recommended approval of the
amendments. The City Council accepted the Commission's recommendation and by a
vote of 7-0 adopted Ordinance No. 99-50. Typographical errors were discovered after
codification of the ordinance.
City Attorney John F. Boyle, Jr. has advised that because the public hearing was held on
March 23, 1999, and the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation for approval
of the amendments was presented to and approved by the City Council, that in order to
correct Ordinance No. 99-50, the City Council must now reconsider their motion and
approve Ordinance No. 99-50 with the following typographical corrections:
Amend Section 25.0 by the addition of item:
"16. Restaurant with outside dining and/or drive through."
Amend Section 67.A.4 by the addition of the following sentence:
"For a request for a change in zoning related to the establishment of a Historic
Landmark "H" designation, there shall be no requirement for a sign to be erected
on the property for which the request has been filed."
Attached is Ordinance No. 99-50 adopted March 23, 1999, and the corrected ordinance.
