P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 23, 2008 AM08-02 - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS - TO AL� RELEVANT SECTIONS - RELATIVE TO "CALL CENTERS" Next for the Commission to consider and make recommendation to the City Council was amendments to Section 12, Definitions, Section 23, "LB" Limited Business District, Section 24, "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District, Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District, Section 27, "PO" Professional Office District, Section 28, "CBD" Central Business District, Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District and Section 32, "BP" Business Park District relative to "call centers". Section 23, "LB" Limited Business District, Section 24, "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District, and Section 27, "PO" Professional Office District are generally recognized as low intensity non-residential zoning districts suitable as transitional areas adjacent to residentially zoned property which can be used as a buffer to separate neighborhoods from higher intensity retail and commercial based developments. Uses in these zoning districts are limited in size and scope to such uses as small retail shops, personal service establishments, i.e. beauty shops, dry cleaners etc. and offices. One particular use not specifically accounted for is, "call center." Call centers typically utilize a large number of employees that occupy smaller workspaces than in other traditional office- based settings and may operate on a 24 hour schedule which can create conflict when located adjacent to residential uses on property zoned for less intensive uses. _�E Call centers located in other more intensive zoning districts can have a deleterious effect particularly on property that is already developed with parking provided for general office and retail uses. Call centers, given their typical high parking demands can overwhelm the provided parking for developed areas causing problems that may spill over to other properties an encourage parking in areas not permitted or developed for that activity. In the Commission's detiberation session B J Wilson moved to approve the amendments to the zoning ordinance AM08-02. Jimmy Fechter seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Wilson, Murray, Lowery, Hotelling, Fechter and Martin Nays: None CONSI_DERATION OF MAY 20, 2008 MINUTES Next for the Commission to consider were the minutes of the May 20, 2008, Planning and Zoning joint public hearing B J Wilson moved to approve the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes of May 20, 2008 as written.
