Commission members unanimously voted to initiate the amendments, and recommend approval of the same to City Council, following the hearing. The final proposed text amendments are attached as "Exhibit A" to Ordinance 2023-01 and the amended Zoning Map is attached as "Exhibit B" to the Ordinance. If Council approves of the amendments, the Ordinance states that Council adopts Planning Commission's December 14th recommendation and votes to approve the amendments as presented. This notice has been reviewed by the Law Director to ensure that all summaries are legally accurate and sufficient. Khristi Dunn Clerk of Council https://uqfh5.app.goo.gl/GPge 1-23/2023
