Chairwoman Boyer called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. and reviewed the marked agenda which contained 9 items marked for deferral, 4 items ready for action, 11 public hearings to be opened and continued, 14 items for second reading and re-referral, and 1 item with no action listed.

 

2013-5 (rezoning on Shindler Drive): Ms. Boyer stated that if the Planning Department staff report on the proposed substitute is available, then the committee will move to substitute the bill and rerefer to LUZ.  There will be no public hearing tonight.

 

2013-392 (rezoning on Losco Road): the bill is a companion to 2013-426 (rezoning on Losco Road), and the public hearing will be opened and continued to 8.20.13 to get the two bills in sync.

 

2013-397 (designating 3 structures at the corner of Jefferson and Church Streets downtown as landmark structures): Ms. Boyer indicated that she had received numerous e-mails from citizens commenting on this legislation and she will propose deferring the bill in order to allow more public input; the decision will be up to the committee.

 

Paul Harden requested that the LUZ public hearings on 2013-497 (appeal of a final decision of the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission to deny a proposed demolition of a structure on River Road that is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places) and 2013-519 (vacating and annulling certain platted lots in the Glen Kernan Golf and Country Club development) be delayed one cycle to the meeting of October 1, 2013 as he will be out of town on the normal hearing date on September 17th.

 

The committee discussed several possible actions that would bring resolution to the 2013-497 appeal process.  Several issues regarding allowable actions by the Historic Preservation Commission need to be explored before a course of action can be chosen.

 

There being no further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 1:14 p.m.
