O 1/ 11 / 10 Engineering, Planning and Develo ment RECOMMENDED MOTION: [FIRST READING] Deliberate and possibly act on an ordinance amending Sections 8-108 and 12-100 of the City Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, as previously amended, providing that Sec 8-108 Industrial Uses be amended by adding a use of Loading, unloading or transloading of crude oil with an S(Specific Use Pertnit) be added under the HI (heavy industrial zoning) and Sec. 12-100 Specific Use Permit be amended by adding (53) Loading, unloading or transloading of Crude Oil in Heavy Industrial (HI) zoning districts in the City of Paris POLICY ISSUE(S): Zoning BACKGROUND: The Planning & Zoning Commission met on January 4th to consider adoption of an ordinance amending Sections 8-108 and 12-100 of City Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, as previously amended, to add a new use under Section 8-108 (Heavy Industrial Zoning) to allow the loading, unloading and/or transloading of crude oil by Specific Use Permit. After 20 minutes of discussion, the Commission voted to approve and recommend the ordinance to City Council. One of the concerns that P&Z had with adding the Specific Use Permit (SUP) for this particular operation was that we do not have or require a SUP for any other oil, gasoline, or fuel operation. Section 8-108 of the City Zoning Ordinance is the chart showing the allowable uses in Heavy Industrial zoning. Section 12 of the City Zoning Ordinance sets out the procedure for application, notice, and review of SUP applications. In summary, the SUP application is filed with the Engineering, Planning & Department, notices are sent out to surrounding property owners, a public hearing is held before the Planning and Zoning Commission and a recommendation is made to City Council for final decision. Staff recommends against invoking the supermajority rule and allow two readings of the ordinance. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: P&Z recommended approval of the ordinance on a vote of 3-2.
