Chairwoman Boyer called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. and reviewed the marked agenda which contained 13 items marked for deferral, 10 items ready for action, 10 public hearings to be opened and continued and 2 items for second reading and re-referral.
2013-341 and -342 (land use change and rezoning on St. Johns Avenue): Ms. Boyer stated that the public hearings on the bills will be opened and continued to 9.17.13 rather than 9.4.13 as shown on the marked agenda.
2013-427 (rezoning on St. Johns Bluff Road): Council Member Bishop requested that the public hearing be opened and continued and that the bill be deferred.
2013-429 (rezoning on Philips Highway): Council Member Redman requested that the public hearing be opened and continued and that the bill be deferred.
2013-493 (amendment to the Zoning Code regarding off-site signs): Ms. Boyer said that she had spoken with proponents and opponents of the ordinance to discuss a date for a workshop meeting on the bill. Tracey Arpen, one of the principal opponents, will be out of the country until August 24th, so a meeting will be scheduled thereafter, either on the Monday of City Council week or the Monday or Wednesday of a committee week.
Chairwoman Boyer reminded the committee of the workshop meeting at 4:30. Topics to be discussed include the process for small scale land use amendments, historic preservation appeals, and the hiring of a bicycle/pedestrian coordinator in the Planning and Development Department.
There being no further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 1:07 p.m.
