II. Old Business
A. Business
Group revision of a motion currently being considered by the OLNC. Topic:
permitted uses in TNZD.
Leah Stewart reported for the Business Group
Incorporate by reference the list of
permitted uses from C2 as the permitted use list in Neighborhood Center Edge
Transition and Neighborhood Center.
Attach the list of permitted uses from C2 minus outdoor entertainment,
which would be permitted only by Conditional Use Permit in Neighborhood
Transition.
Adopt the ZALU TNZD Group's recommendations
for Corner Commercial.
Discussion about: the wording of the revisions; how will
Metro staff process and refine the wording; the multiple lists of uses and erroneous information that
are circulating in the neighborhood ; the status of the TNZD Review Group as a
standing committee. Issue was
taken with the authority of the list of recommended uses from the TNZD Review
Group and whether ZALU should have voted on the TNZD Group recommendations.
B. Realtor
letter(s). Mary Martin reported: three forms of the letter per three
neighborhood sectors to be emailed and to include embedded internet links to
relevant regulations and guidelines.
C. Summary of recent BOZA case in which ZALU participated:
loss of nonconforming rights at the property 944 S. 6th St.; BOZA rules for owner holding on to
nonconforming rights. Leah Stewart
& Stephen Peterson reported.
III. New Business
A. Edison Center project:
Rehabilitation of LG&E & CSX property at 1228 S. 7th St., by Bill
Weyland group.
Bob
Bajandas reported on project and on a request from Weyland for a ZALU letter
supporting their project.
Issues:
-Project
is asking for EZ1 zoning which allows adult entertainment and hazardous
materials
-Could
ZALU support an M3 zoning rather than EZ1? M3 zoning allows for restrictions on
hazardous materials.
-Could
ZALU recommend / insist on a binding element that proscribes adult
entertainment and hazardous materials?
-Project
seeks a landscaping waiver [Metro LDC 10.1.8 #18, “Tree Canopy waiver”] Can such a waiver include
1)
a condition that landscaping be provided when in the future the
environmental issues cease and
2) in the meantime, in areas where parking is
not shown on project plans, that
two-to-three-foot high knee walls and soil be provided for plantings of
greenery and shrubbery
-How
is waste material to be handled? ZALU could stipulate that not permitted would
be any hazardous waste issues reviewed in the construction permitting process
at the State [DEP][1] level.
Agreement by ZALU to strongly support the project with
binding elements against adult entertainment and hazardous materials. The issues surrounding the landscaping
waiver were left unresolved; reluctance to include a binding element that
provides/ requires for landscaping in the future when environmental issues are
resolved/ceased.
Member,Peterson
asks for clarification of the waiver issue and requested that ZALU include a
binding element in its motion as concerns tree canopy in the future when/if
conditions change. Member Johnson
asserted that such a conditional binding element would never sail legally. No motion was ever finally articulated
or voted upon.
B. Parties sought to sign on to a
lawsuit claiming illegal membership of the Metro Planning Commission
Leah
Stewart reported on the claims and issues in the case brought by attorney Steve
Porter.
Issues:
Can the OLNC participate in such a case because of the Council’s 501(c)(3)
status? Should we be involved?
Answers needed before a motion or consensus can be
sought. Lira Johnson will research
and report to ZALU.
