Motion carried, to recommend approval of the request for Case #02-15RZ - Green - 101 W. Lincoln/807 Bridge.

 

3) Public Hearing Ordinance amendment - Section 5.212 (8) Parking Fund.

Planner Harsh explained that this amendment is needed to require payment into the parking fund prior to issuance of a land use permit, because in the past, the City has sometimes had problems collecting them after the project was in place.

Flanders asked if an applicant would get the money back, if the project did not take place, for some reason.

Harsh explained the money would be returned if the project was not completed, as the need to provide parking for the project would not be needed.

Fels moved, supported by Flanders, to recommend approval of the amendment, as presented.

Motion passed to recommend approval of the Ordinance Amendment to Section 5.212 (8) Parking Fund.
