have been using retained cash over the last years to balance the budget. This past year

$700,000 in cash left of which $200,000 is for internal reserve and $500,000 is

Request to amend Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 11, with the addition of supplemental
regulations to establish location, minimum lot area and frontage, landscaping and
conditional use requirements for non-residential uses proposed within single-family
zoning districts
Commissioner Ensler suggested moving up the first reading of the ordinance, which is
XXII.B.11 so that they could discuss both the proposed ordinance changes and this item at
the same time. He said there was a recommendation from the Planning and Development
Board for arterial by right, whereas staff recommended that by right that it becomes
conditional. He had concerns on the guidelines dealing with the rights of churches and
other religious institutions. He is in favor of all being conditional rather than allowing some
by right.
City Manager Bressner directed staff to research the zoning classification where religious
institutions are allowed by right. Mr. Quintus Greene said they have a right in commercial
districts. City Manager Bressner said he would make a report to the Commission later.
Commissioner Ensler requested an explanation of the ordinance. He inquired about the
denotation relative to residential areas and minimum distance. City Manager Bressner said
there would be time between the first and second reading to make adjustments and meet
qualifications.
Vice Mayor Ferguson asked if churches that received site plan approval were
grandfathered. Assistant City Attorney Goren said if they were approved they would be
grandfathered.
