Good morning, everybody I'm going to call to order this meeting of the zoning and planning commission committee. Excuse me for a Thursday February. First, my name is Jeremy Schrader I'm, the councilmember for Ward 11 in the chair of this committee with me at the Dyess, a council member Gordon, a council president bender and councilmember Ellison. Let the record reflect that we have a quorum. We have a rather light agenda today.

B

We have four items today on today's consent agenda item: one is a referral to referral the zoning map ordinance from the City Council organizational meeting on January 8th, which we are today referring to staff item. 2 is the approval of a rezoning application submitted by a Daniel open-open liner to rezone property at 24:07, 2nd Avenue Northeast from two are to be to family district 2, a our 3 multi.

B

If multiple family district to allow closed cluster development item 3 is the approval of a rezoning application submitted by am marketing LLC to rezone the property located at 2501 Glendale Avenue south from c1 neighborhood commercial district to the c2 neighborhood corridor commercial district to allow a tobacco shop as a permitted use in this existed bill. 16 building and the final item is a rezoning at 22, 12, 23, 16, 23:27 Street southeast northeast.

B

Excuse me to from to the r5 multi-family district to allow for new residential structures, as well as a related Street vacation on the 23rd Avenue I. Also, like the record, reflect that we've been joined by a council member right during all that. Are there any questions from committee members for comments.

B

Okay well I'd like to move the consent agenda. Are there any comments or questions from committee members.

B

President bender Thank.

A

You mr. chair I just wanted to make a brief comment on item number three.

A

This is a rezoning to allow for a tobacco shop in a store that currently sells tobacco along with other items, and it's a response to our regulations that we passed last term that were restricting tobacco sales. So I think we will start to see more of these, so I just wanted to highlight it as a policy issue for our staff and the community.

A

In this case, this is in my ward and the owner is making some nice improvements to the shop I think the context is appropriate for a c2 zoning zoning, so I'm supportive of this change, but I do know that in other locations there may be more issues with rezoning to allow for this use.

A

So again, I just wanted to highlight it as a potential policy issue that we may want to take up with staff to understand how we want to handle the fact that we will have more interest in opening new tobacco shops in the city, Thank You mr. chair well,.

B

Thank you. Are there any other comments or questions from the committee members?

B

If not I'd like to move the consent agenda, all those in favor vote aye, all those opposed say no, the eyes have it and the items on our consent agenda have been forwarded to the full council and will, with the recommendation for approval that completes our agenda, seeing no further business to present it. At this time we will be adjourned. Thank you.
