TEMPORARY USES AND SPECIAL EVENTS.

WES MORRISON. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSION MEMBERS.

THIS IS A TEXT MESSAGE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

AND AS I PUT IT IN YOUR BACKUP, AS WE WERE PREPARING FOR SOME RENOVATIONS TO CITY FACILITIES, NAMELY THE FIRE STATIONS, WE DETERMINED THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR TEMPORARY USES.

WHEN NEEDED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY OR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS.

SO WHAT THIS AMENDMENT DOES IS REALLY JUST LAYS OUT THAT PROCESS AND IT MIMICS THE OTHER SIMILAR TYPE OF REGULATIONS ON TEMPORARY USES. JUST JUMPING RIGHT INTO IT.

I'VE GOT SOME.

OKAY. SO THIS AMENDMENT ADDS ITEM NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS LET ME TURN THE MIC ON. OKAY.

HEAR ME? OKAY.

I THINK WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT MIC WHEN YOU CHECK OUT.

BUT ANYWAY, THIS ONE ADDS ITEM NUMBER THREE UNDER TEMPORARY, THE SECTION FOR TEMPORARY USES IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WHICH ESSENTIALLY STATES THAT WHEN DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY MANAGER TEMPORARY USES CAN BE UTILIZED TO CARRY OUT PUBLIC SAFETY OR GOVERNMENTAL NEEDS.

IT LIMITS IT TO A MAXIMUM OF TWO YEARS AND ALLOWS FOR A CITY COUNCIL TO EXTEND THAT TWO YEARS BY 18 MONTHS.

WITH THAT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

WES IS THIS JUST AN OVERSIGHT? BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE TEMPORARY BUILDINGS IN ST.

MICHAEL'S PUT IN BECAUSE I WAS INVOLVED WITH THAT FROM A HOMEOWNER PERSPECTIVE.

SO THIS WAS JUST WE JUST DIDN'T DO IT FOR THE CITY FACILITIES.

WELL, RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY IT, BECAUSE THE ORDINANCE DOES ALLOW IT IN SOME CASES FOR CHURCHES, SCHOOLS AND CONSTRUCTION TRAILERS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR SPECIFICALLY CITY OPERATIONS. AND THE FIRE STATION OVER BY MY NEIGHBORHOOD, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT WOULD BE THE PLACEMENT SITE.

IT WOULD BE THE ONE IN SOUTH BEDFORD.

RIGHT? I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR OFF THE AGENDA ITEM.

BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE PLANS FOR EACH FIRE STATION, THE COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT RENOVATIONS FOR EACH FIRE STATION.

IN CONVERSATION WITH ADMINISTRATION, I THINK IT IS DETERMINED THAT FIRE STATION NUMBER TWO OFF OF MARTIN IS PROBABLY THE SITE IS PROBABLY TOO SMALL TO HOUSE A TEMPORARY USE THERE.

SO, THE CITY IS LOOKING AT OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

[00:05:04]

TO THAT POINT, THAT WAS WHAT MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE.

THESE TEMPORARY FACILITIES COULD BE PLACED ON ANY PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY USED FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE USE.

CORRECT. OKAY. NOT JUST IT IS NOT SITE SPECIFIC.

YOU'RE CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH THAT.

THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONERS? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK, I JUST.

WELL, YOU WERE THERE.

THANK YOU.

IT IS 6:05.

WE'LL CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER.

ANY OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION? I KNOW IT DOES SEEM STRANGE TO HAVE AN EMPTY ROOM THIS TIME NOW 6:06.

I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE CHANGE IN TEXT TO THE CITY ORDINANCE 5.10. MR. CHAIRMAN, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CITY ORDINANCE 5.10.8 B.

I'M SORRY. I'LL SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU. STAFF.

THE ONLY OTHER ITEM ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING IS CONSIDERATION TO FILL THE SLOT OF VICE CHAIRMAN.

[3. Accept nominations and elect the office of Vice Chairperson. ]

I THINK IT'S A CONSENSUS OF OUR GROUP THAT SINCE WE ARE ON THE PRECIPICE OF HAVING NEW MEMBERS TO OUR COMMISSION TO FILL THE EMPTY SPACES AND IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP TURNS OVER IN OCTOBER.

DID WE TABLE THIS UNTIL WE HAVE A FULL SLATE OF NEW MEMBERS AFTER THE 24TH OF SEPTEMBER, WHEN COUNCIL WILL MAKE THOSE APPOINTMENTS.

OUR MEETING IN OCTOBER.

I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD COME BACK ON THE AGENDA.

AND AT THAT TIME, WE'LL SEE.

WE'LL SEEK NEW MEMBERS.

AND FROM THAT POOL WE'LL MAKE OUR DECISIONS.

IF THAT'S EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT.

SO I MAKE SO I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL ONE OF OUR OCTOBER MEETINGS.

I'LL SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, I WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER OTTO.

IS IT GREG? THIS WOULD BE YOUR LAST MEETING, SIR, WITH US.

BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND HAVING YOU ON HERE AND ALL THE HELP AND INPUT YOU'VE GIVEN US, AND THAT THIS IS YOUR SECOND TIME TO DO THIS FOR THE CITY AND YOUR HISTORICAL REFERENCES AND EXPERIENCE HAVE BEEN GREAT.

AND I'M GOING TO MISS YOU BEING HERE.

BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO BE DOING, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH, STEVE.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLAQUES OR PINS OR ANYTHING YET, BUT WE'LL, YOU KNOW, BUT APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

AND WITH THAT WE HAVE A TRAVELER THAT'S GOT ITCHY FEET.

AND I'LL ENTERTAIN THE FINAL MOTION.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND.

THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER OTTO.

SAFE TRAVELS, COMMISSIONER GALLENSTEIN.

THANK YOU. MAY ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES GET WHEREVER YOU'RE GOING.

YEAH. AND DON'T GET COVID.
