Acting Chairman Scott explained that Commissioner Reed has been spearheading this issue on the Commission’s behalf.
Kevin Rudd advised that Commissioner Reed sent an email stating that he would not be here tonight and asked if the Commission wanted to wait until January 18, 2011 to continue the discussion.
Commissioner Murphy advised that Commissioner Reed was doing some additional research with the state, and she would like to get that input before going forward with the discussion.
After further discussion on scheduling, the Commissioners scheduled the beekeeping discussion on February 1, 2011.
Commissioner Benson referred to Form Tomorrow’s response in regards to his questions (copy available at Ivins City office) and asked if the Commissioners had any questions. There were no additional comments. Since the Commission has received Form Tomorrow’s comments, and the Commissioner’s have responded to their comments on Chapter 19, he inquired as to what the next step should be.
Acting Chairman Scott asked Staff if the next step is to put the information received from Form Tomorrow in the form of an ordinance.
Kevin Rudd that would be the next step. Form Tomorrow appears to be creating a form based type of zoning. The Commission may want to take Form Tomorrow’s comments and create a new section in the Zoning Ordinance on commercial buildings that deals with Form Tomorrow’s suggested setback requirements and the stepping of the buildings.
Commissioner Murphy commented that in the current ordinance there is information incorporated throughout the Zoning Ordinance but suggested that it might be better to have a separate chapter.
Commissioner Benson commented that there is some good information contained in Form Tomorrow’s submittals. But we need to work on the ordinance and present it to the City Council. He inquired if this should be done in a work meeting and review the information line by line, etc.
Kevin Rudd stated that it could be done in a work meeting. He mentioned that Council Member McDonald would like, at some point, to invite commercial property owners in Ivins to come and have a discussion and receive any feedback and comment from them.
Acting Chairman Scott turned the meeting over to Chairman Mehr and updated the chairman on their discussions.
After a brief discussion with Mayor Hart about having a joint work meeting, the Mayor felt it would be a good idea to have the work meeting. The comments from Form Tomorrow, the responses from the Commissioners on Chapter 19, and the 11x17’s drawings from Form Tomorrow will be forwarded to the council members.
The work meeting will be scheduled during the regularly scheduled Planning Commission on January 18, 2011 if the City Council members can meet on that date. No other agenda items will be discussed unless an application comes forward. Kevin Rudd will check with the City Council to see if they can schedule that date for the work meeting.
