REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
MODIFICATION OF THORNDALE CORRIDOR OVERLAY BOUNDARY AND REGULATIONS
DISCUSSION:
Director Cage reported there was a lot of good feedback from the CDC and a better plan was developed. He explained this modified version is more user friendly and works in terms of economic development. This will simplify standards and hold them at a high level and allow uses to come in and not have to request as many variances. A public hearing was held via zoom with some public comments received and interested parties participating. The CDC recommended approval 5 to 0. Ald. E. Wesley inquired about the comments received. Director Cage stated one was a property owner who wanted to see how the proposed amendments affected their property. Once provided with the information, he was pleased he could continue operating his business as is. Another party was looking for clarification. Attorney Bond noted that some property owners had questions since the restrictions in some areas were impeding their client’s ability to fully utilize their property.
