“So originally, I'll ask my questions. Originally, what was proposed that council consider was something far more broad. And I think at first reading, I was one of the most critical of that in that it attempted to allow decisions to be made about how to deal with things based upon the larger parcel. Since then, listening to the comments, what I'm trying to make sure is that this ordinance will only apply to residential. It doesn't apply to the situations that folks are talking about. It only applies if you have a split zone, current split zone lot, and the reason why it's necessary is to allow…”

Counts to consider second reading case number 26-27, tax map number 721-0000023 and 073 to rezone from GC to LI 24.06 acres in District 7. We have already had public hearing. I know that information was presented to all of council prior to that. Do we have a motion?”

“I will say that at first reading, there were a number of deed restrictions that we were encouraged to wait until second reading to address. Is that something that staff is prepared to share or outline?”

“What I would like to see happen, and as I understand it, the applicant, we don't typically hear from the applicant twice. We hear from them once, just like we do from the public. The applicant has sent in information that was sent to staff as well, and so the hope was that this information would have been uploaded and that staff would be prepared to identify all of the restrictions. that are part of this agreement as well as address any of the questions that have to do with any buffers. I think if y'all are prepared to work on that. Jonathan, one of the things I understand is that as a…”

“what i had understood and what i had hoped that would be presented from staff at least at second reading is something that we could all see to show all of the deed restrictions that exist so that at least those are made part of part of the record thank you so these are things that won't or can't come to the property”

“So all... Assuming this property is rezoned, all of these things are prohibited to be used, even though they're allowed in light industrial, they're prohibited by deed restriction. That's enforceable. Is that correct? Correct. Jonathan.”

“What about this section down here, number three? It says all loading docks face inward so that any of the noise from those things, does that apply to any development on the property, that there won't be noise, the backing up or the trucks loading on the outside of the perimeter of the buildings?”

“Just for purposes of clarification, let me make sure I'm clear. The comments that you made about the TIA have nothing to do with this project. Nothing at all. You're talking about a different project. But it could. And there's no issue.”
