FILE: 887-OB STAFF REPORT The Planning Staff is recommending changes be made to Permitted Uses Sec. 28.03.023(e) of the Zoning Ordinance. Recently staff received a request for an SUP (Specific Use Permit) in a GC-MD-2 (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling - 2) District. After accepting the application, staff realized Communication towers are not allowable in a GC-MD-2 District, even with an SUP review. Given that most other commercial uses are allowable in GC-MD-2 zoning with an SUP and given that Communication towers can be compatible and appropriate uses in GC-MD-2 zoning, it would be appropriate for an SUP to be available in the GC-MD-2 District as well. Staff recommends the following change to the Permitted Use Table: Zoning District Permitted Primary Use 2 SIC - H Group H - M - S- R MD M - - - - MD LI HI - NC R A C NSCPUD RCRCBD Special Cond.
