(Adrienne Leonard will be researching this item); Section 19-36 (1) should include the "ninety (90) days from the date of withdrawal;" remove Section 19-22 (c) which states "reporting to the governing body and the public, from time to tine and annually;" then (d) , "for the holding of the public hearing on its recommendations" will become (c).

Chairman Cook suggested changing the wording on E. b. 15 which is the redundant statement "Calculations of the percentage of masonry of the �tntire structure." Marcy Ratcliff reviewed the proposed changes. Then a motion from Robert Hinson and second from Ery Meyer was to recommend scheduling a public hearing to consider the following ame-ndn-ents as �# roposed: P&Z Minutes(5-29-90) Page 5 which will remain, if any, and number and size of dwelling units, and number of bedrooms, in residential uses, and building separations; (7) Minimum yard dimensions and, where relevant, relation of yard dimensions to the height of any building or structure; (8) Location, dimensions and number of all vehicular and pedestrian circulation elements, including streets, and roadways, driveways, entrances, curbs, curb cuts, parking stalls, loading spaces and access aisles; sidewalks, walkways and pathways, including type of surface material, slope and gradient of vehicular elements; and total lot coverage of all circulation elements, divided between vehicular and pedestrian ways; (9) Location and size of existing and proposed streets and alleys with location of all street medians and intersections adjacent to the area of request; (10) Copy of Permit to Construct Access Driveway Facilities on Highway Right of Way issued by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation; (11); (12); (13) Location, size and arrangement of all outdoor signs and the location and intensity of all outdoor lighting and exterior auditory speakers; (14); (15); (16); (17) ; (18) ; (19) ; (20) ; (21) ; (22) ; and (23) .

Those present were advised that several Board of Zoning Adjustment cases were filed for 40 foot pole signs to consider allowing more cabinet depth for neon lighted signs than the 14 inches presently allowed by Section 60. The increases requested in 1989 were 18:, 34", 20", 24" 36" and 30". Staff suggested that 36 inches should be an adequate increase from the present 14 inches. Following further brief discussion Robert Hinson' motion and Larry Atchley's second was to recommend a public hearing be scheduled to consider amending the 14 inch sign cabinet depth to 36 inches, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Cook, Meyer, Atchley, Hinson and Palpant Nays: None Absent: Oliver and Martin HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS Next Mr. Hardy introduced the addend= item to the Commission's agenda requesting direction for addressing the potential problem in discerning between halfway houses, shelters for the homeless, etc. He advised that in Staff's opinion none of the residential districts should allow these. most churches are in residential districts; however it remains Staff's opinion that to prevent problems for existing residents, Light Industrial and perhaps Community Commercial would be the appropriate zoning districts. Adrienne Leonard clarified the purpose for such an ordinance; and Chairman Cook asked if definitions could address the problem. Following further brief discussion, Commissioner Atchley then made a motion to direct City Staff to examine the existing ordinance and definitions to determine if they are adequate to deal with control and regulation of the homeless, emergency facilities, etc; or if, in fact, a recommendation from Staff is necessary to amend existing ordinances and definitions. A second was offered from Commissioner Palpant, with the prevailing vote as follows: Ayes: Cook, Meyer, Atchley, Hinson and Palpant Nays: None Absent: Oliver and Martin P&Z Minutes {5-29 -90) Page 6 90211M "Va.-mone) • Another item on the addendum agenda was for the Planning and Zoning Commission to investigate the possibility • removing the conditional use re• uireznent for tire centers as conditional uses.
