Chairman Brown convened the
meeting and asked Dylan Reingold to review the marked agenda which included 11
items to be deferred, 7 items ready for action (1 marked for withdrawal), 3
public hearings to be opened and continued, and 5 items for second reading and
re-referral.
2011-518 (waiver of minimum
road frontage on Trout River Boulevard): the applicant has requested
withdrawal.
2011-624 (rezoning on
Moncrief Road): the bill has been previously amended by LUZ but the Planning
Department will propose an additional amendment to revise the site plan and to
restrict the height of outside storage.
2012-14 (rezoning on Lane
Avenue from PUD to PUD): an explanation will be requested from the Planning
Department about the differing recommendations between the department and the
Planning Commission regarding inclusion of sidewalks. Chairman Brown favors deferral and further
discussion with the neighborhood association.
2011-767 and -768 (appeals of
Planning Commission final orders re: Kickbacks Restaurant expansion plans): the
attorneys for the two parties have agreed on procedural issues for
presentations at the meeting; each side will have 10 minutes to make
presentations, with opening argument, rebuttal and conclusions, on each
bill. Dylan Reingold outlined the
options for committee actions, including deferral, remand back to the Planning
Commission with additional instructions, or approval or denial of each
bill. Pursuant to the committee’s
instructions at the last meeting, the public will be expecting to speak at the
public hearings this time. The attorneys
for the parties briefly discussed issues of standing and the possible
consolidation of some or all of the appeals.
Sean Kelly stated that the Planning Department disagrees with Mr.
Reingold’s interpretation of the LUZ Committee’s ability to consolidate the
appeals which would have the effect of removing jurisdiction over one of the
administrative deviations from the Zoning Administrator. The department believes that would be inconsistent
with a portion of the Zoning Code.
Chairman Brown requested that the Planning Department and the Office of
General Counsel meet after the agenda meeting and try to clarify what the
committee can and cannot do with regard to consolidation.
