Comment: It is anticipated that the Planning and Zoning Commission will make a

approval in a report dated December 20, 2012. These City- initiated rezonings
are intended to bring the City's zoning map into compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and eliminate an obsolete zoning designation shown on the
zoning map. Please note: As is the case with any rezoning, when the City
Council sets a public hearing for a rezoning, there is a 60 -day moratorium on
issuance of any permit for development activity that would be counter to or
prohibited by the rezoning under consideration. The City Attorney's Office is
preparing a memo that will provide additional information about this issue, which
will be distributed prior to the Council meeting.

Comment: Passage of this ordinance will repeal a previous ordinance that
contained an erroneous legal description and will provide a new version with the
correct legal description. No other substantive changes have been made to this
ordinance. The conditional zoning agreement associated with this rezoning
contains the correct legal description so does not need to be corrected, but will
need to be re- executed by the Mayor after passage of the new rezoning ordinance.

Comment: These amendments will substitute the new State I -PACT program for
TIPS training required for all bar staff in entertainment venues, and eliminate the
midnight curfew for 19 and 20 year olds in entertainment venues on show nights.
Our entertainment venues took part in the development of the present law, but
the change in law regarding the I -PACT program makes a change appropriate,
and the venues have found that their businesses are being hurt by the midnight
curfew for their 19 and 20 year old patrons more than they expected. Because
the venues have all shown good results in preventing underage drinking in their
establishments, staff has faith that management will continue to do well witho t
the curfew. rj
