27 November 1995 1723
Council reviewed a proposed resolution to place a moratorium
on all building permits for building projects which would
displace any parking area in the Central Business District.
The Planning & Zoning Commission is in the process of holding
public hearings on a proposed Ordinance (next hearing 12/4)
which will amend the Zoning Ordinance provisions addressing
required parking. This resolution was proposed as a temporary
measure until the proposed ordinance can be approved for
hearings before the Council, a matter of some two -or -more
months. A number of people addressed the Council, including
Ben Maumenee, Bill Baldwin, Charlie Ingersoll, and Mack Walcott.
These speakers stated their reasons for asking the Council
not to adopt the proposed resolution, mainly the expense
they have already incurred while planning development of
their downtown properties. After much discussion, the proposed
resolution was not introduced.
