3 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ORDINANCE: ZONING ORDINANCE REFERENCE: SECTIONS S42 THROUGH S47 - PERMITTED USE TABLE (RETAIL TRADE) ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: x Staff Planning Board BOCC Public Other: STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: High Middle x Low Comment: EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: February 27, 1989 PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: To combine sections of the Permitted Use Table to eliminate text duplication and permit "mail order houses" in association with retail trade establishments. IMPACTS/ISSUES: Sections $42 through S47 of the Permitted Use Table of the Zoning, Ordinance pertain to "retail trade" . In determining the appropriate zoning district for a retail use, the specific use proposed is not a factor other than to identify adverse impacts which might occur at building, lot, and zoning district boundaries as a result of the operation. In addition, the traffic generation characteristics of the use (low, medium, and high impact) are also evaluated. Sections S42 through S44 refer to "Retail Trade, Sales, Rental of Convenience Goods, Merchandise, and Equipment. . . " . Sections S45 through S47 refers to "Retail Trade, Sales and Rental of Durable Goods, Merchandise and Equipment. . . " . By adding the words "Durable Goods" to Sections S42 through S44, Sections 545 through S47 could be deleted. The proposed amendment would clarify the provisions and eliminate text duplication. Two other minor amendments are proposed. First, there is a typographical error in Section S43 of the Ordinance. Medium traffic generation should read 200-800 trips/day instead of 200-300 trips/day. Second, the words, "Including Mail Order Houses, " should be added following "Merchandise and Equipment. . . " . The proposed addition would address past and present concerns on the part of local businessmen as to whether retail trade included such operations.
