308 <br /> 166 Craig Benedict:Just to add, SUP's are typically associated with certain uses that, based on their nature, need <br /> 167 additional review. So let's say, an asphalt mixing plant will still be a SUP.The criteria that we had in here was unique, <br /> 168 it was based on an acre size and not on the use and was based on the square footage of a building size.Which a <br /> 169 20,000 square foot medical building probably doesn't have the same scrutiny that a 20,000 square foot different use. <br /> 170 But if it is a 20,000 corporate asphalt mixing plant it still has to go through the SUP process. So we're getting rid of <br /> 171 two criteria that were based on acreage and square footage,which are not your normal SUP criteria. So we're going <br /> 172 back to more of a conventional standardization of why you have a special use,and that's usually because the <br /> 173 operation might have glare, noise, a lot of traffic, that type of stuff will put you in a SUP category. <br /> 174 <br /> 175 Lydia Wegman:Just for the record, I'm not comfortable with the elimination of the Class A SUP. It still makes me <br /> 176 uncomfortable... So I would just suggest that you provide a little further explanation about why that makes sense. I <br /> 177 understand why it makes sense from a development standpoint but why it's not going to be harmful. <br /> 178 <br /> 179 Perdita Holtz:Well these areas that would be zoned, EDH-3, 4 and 5 are not near residences. <br /> 180 <br /> 181 Lydia Wegman: Ok. <br /> 182 <br /> 183 Craig Benedict:The two amendments she was talking about with the zoning, some are called text amendments and <br /> 184 that's everything that she's doing with EDH-3 and changes the uses and the floor area ratios; all those are <br /> 185 considered text amendments.And the other type of zoning amendment changes is a map amendment.That's where <br /> 186 you're actually going from EDH-2 and making it EDH-3. So that's how they're separate. <br /> 187 <br /> 188 *************************************************** <br />
