II. Realtor Letter.
Mary reports. Letter should come in three different forms, one for each neighborhood zoning sector, with specific information for a property listing relevent to each sector.  Mary will do a mock-up of the letters and have them sent out to all ZALU committees. Distribution to realtors will most likely be via email.  At this point, we presume that  David Williams of the OL Information Center will handle the emailing. Mary is thanked for her work on this matter.

III. OLNC motion to change the permitted uses for all commercial properties in the TNZD to match the list of permitted uses in the C2 or Commercial District zone as given in the Metro Land Development Code, Chp. 2.4.1. Chuck leads discussion among ZALU committee members.

A.       OLNC approved by motion and vote the ZALU proposal to send a letter to Councilman James supporting Councilwoman Hamilton’s call for a moratorium on new transitional housing in her district and the conducting of a study into how zoning codes inhibit or enable such housing. White reports that the OLNC motion reads: ZALU moves to have OLNC write and send a letter to Councilman David James supporting a 12-month moratorium in Chickasaw and Shawnee Park neighboroods that specifically tartets new construction and establishment of boarding and loding houses while also conducting a study of the zoning effects on and lack of controls over boarding and lodging houses. (Copied from the September 23, 2014 OLNC minutes.)
