Consideration of Minutes:
Chair Bishop asked for consideration of October 17, 2016 meeting minutes. Commissioner Bramble made a
motion to approve and Vice Chair Bossick seconded, the vote to approve was unanimous.
Disclosures/ Recusal:
Chair Bishop asked if there were any disclosures or recusals, there were none.
Old Business:
Text Amendment- to the Land Development Code to amend Sec. 3-080D to create a use table with
parking requirements and adjust parking requirements. Additionally to amend Sec. 2-010 Definitions
to add a definition of shopping center.
Mr. Shaw approached the Commission and stated the last time this item was before this Commission there were
a few comments that needed to be addressed before it came back. Mr. Shaw stated he believes he addressed
them all. Item number 1 under D he put back and the use table with some other comments addressed, additional
uses and the date to be inserted, also the definition of shopping center. Mr. Shaw also stated the last sentence
under shopping center definition should have been stricken and he apologizes if it was not on their copies the
sentence "the parcel is usually under single ownership or unified management'. Commissioner King stated he
has a concern with the definition of shopping center being any two businesses including a restaurant concerning
the number of parking spaces will be a lot less. Can the definition be changed so that it's the retail stores but
serviced establishments are counted separately? Mr. Shaw stated the one thing that becomes an issue is if you
build a strip center without a restaurant as business closes and a restaurant goes in you can say there is not
enough parking and you can't have this use, it would be a difficult discussion to have. But with a restaurant space
at in the beginning then there will be a better parking situation. Commission King asked what about increasing
the numbered of business required to call it a shopping center like from two to three that would increase the
parking. Mr. Shaw stated he does not have any objection on that. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion
to approve as written and to exclude the last sentence under the definition of shopping center "the parcel is
usually under single ownership or unified management'. Commissioner Gann seconded and the vote to approve
was three to two the motion to approve carries.

Commissioner Bramble made a motion to adjourn and Commissioner Gann seconded.
