3. Consider and Take Action on an Amendment to the City of Mesa Zoning Ordinance regarding Section 11-6-3. The Amendment proposes minor wording revisions to clarify language used to describe standards and evaluation criteria related to land uses requiring Council Use Permits in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 Zoning Districts.
Mr. Gordon Sheffield, Zoning Administrator, gave a brief overview of an amendment to the City of Mesa Zoning Ordinance regarding Section 11-6-3. The amendment proposes minor wording revisions to clarify language used to describe standards and evaluation criteria related to land uses requiring Council use Permits (CUP) in the C-1, C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts. The language for Section 11-6-3 was rewritten and adopted by the City Council in May 2008. The first ordinance requires payday loan stores to be included in a land use category that requires a CUP. The second ordinance pertains to Group Homes for the Handicapped and Correctional Transitional Housing Facilities. However, not all the language was correct and needs further clarification.
Therefore, the proposed amendment amends Section 11-6-3 Zoning Ordinance by removing the existing language and adopting the revised language which incorporates most of the adopted texts of both ordinances without the excess language and grammatical errors.
Staff is recommending approval of the amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance as written.
