Chairwoman Boyer called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. and reviewed the marked agenda which contained 4 items marked for deferral, 18 items ready for action, 5 public hearings to be opened and continued and 8 items for second reading and re-referral.

2013-335 (small scale land use amendment on Newcomb Road): the bill has conflicting Planning Department and Planning Commission recommendations. Folks Huxford explained that the Planning Department staff was in agreement with the changes proposed at the Planning Commission meeting, so the recommendations were no longer in conflict.

2013-493 (amendment to off-site sign regulations): the staff report may not be ready for the next committee meeting in; the Office of General Counsel is scheduling a meeting with proponents and opponents of the bill to help distill the issues down to their essence. The public hearing will be opened and continued until the February 19^th meeting.

2013-702 (rezoning on Lem Turner Road): Wyman Duggan representing the applicant requested that the item be moved to the top of the agenda.

2013-719 (rezoning on Mayport Road): Bruce Lewis reported that a new site plan had been received from the applicant this morning – he will circulate copies electronically after the agenda meeting.

2013-761 (amending the Concurrency and Mobility Management System regarding transportation improvement projects constructed and dedicated by landowners or developers): the staff report has not been completed so this bill will not be acted on tonight. Ms. Boyer understands that amendments may be proposed, so a substitute and re-referral may be in order.

2013-803 and -804 (designation of historic landmark structures on North Main Street and West 6^th Street): Ms. Boyer noted that, since the City is not filing the full staff report with the designation ordinance so that the entire report is not recorded with the ordinance, and since the staff report is not included in the LUZ report packet, the LUZ Committee does not have access to the staff report in either electronic or paper form. The Planning Department was asked to devise a means to transmit the report to committee members in time for them to read the materials before the LUZ meeting at which a decision is required.

2014-21 (appealing final order issued by the Planning Commission on a minor modification request): the bill will be scheduled for a formal hearing on February 19^th.

Ms. Boyer announced that the committee will hold a workshop at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the small scale land use amendment process and a continuation of the discussion of through-lots. She also requested the Planning Department to provide the qualifications of all departmental personnel who are engaged in reviewing aspects of appeals to the LUZ committee members so that a record of their qualifications can be placed on file to establish their credentials as experts for purposes of providing evidence in appeals.

There being no further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 1:16 p.m.
