GOODWIN Director Richmond Common Council President: Sally Hutton Re: Ordinance #45-1995 Dear Ms. Hutton: Ordinance #45-1995 is an amendment to the text of the zoning ordinance. The petition is in behalf of the City Planning Commission and is represented by the planning staff. This request, if granted, will allow utility substations to be permitted uses in the C-1, C-2, C-4 and our two industrial classes of M-1 and M-2. Presently, utility substations are "Special Uses" which require the two stage approval process required for special legislation. The present process adds 38 to 67 days to the utilities approval process. At this time the Wayne County Economic Development Commission has hired the American Consulting Engineers who are preparing the subdivision plans for the State Hospital acreage recently annexed The subdivision, once approved by the Planning Commission cannot be certain of the layout of utility easements in relationship to roadways or interior lot lines because the location of the substations are handled as a separate process. This amendment will allow a comprehensive approach to planning subdivision of every type and allows for the accurate platting of utility easements as part of the subdivision process. The Planning Commission voted 8-2 in favor of recommending this text change to Common Council. Respectfully submitted Ro ert B.

MILLIGAN City Attorney RE: Ordinance No. 45-1995 Dear Council Member. This is a general ordinance amending the text of Chapter 154, commonly referred to as the Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance is proposed by Robert Goodwin, Director of the Department of Planning and Redevelopment. Public utility and public service uses will remain as special uses in the four residence districts, the agricultural district, and the central business district. These uses will become principal permitted uses in the limited commercial, commercial, general business and industrial districts as a result of this amendment. The greenbelt district treatment of public utility and communications buildings at 154.24.00.05 remains unchanged by this ordinance. The ordinance should be referred to Plan Commission for public hearing at its meeting on July 25, 1995. The ordinance could be back to Council for second reading on August 7, 1995.
