WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council have the authority pursuant to I.C. ~

2002 as Resolution 02-382; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council passed Resolution 04-454 on December 14, 2004
which modified some text within the Comprehensive Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the intent of the office section of the Amendment passed with
Resolution 04-454 was to allow applicants to request office uses in areas designated as
"Residential" on the Land Use Map, which are located along arterial streets and section
line roads. The Amendment was also intended to allow redevelopment of properties
designated "Public/Quasi-Public", so long as the proposed use(s) are compatible with
adjacent zoning districts. The intent of the Amendment was not to change what is
allowed in areas with a Comprehensive Plan designation of "Office"; and
WHEREAS, at the City Council Review public hearing for AP-06-001, it became
dear that the intent of Resolution 04-454 is not reflected well in the approved wording.
Therefore, the Planning Department filed a text amendment to fulfill the original intent.
The revision to the "Office" designation description should be as follows:
Office. This designation will provide opportunities for low-impact business
areas. These would include office, technology and resource centers; ancillary
commercial uses may be considered (particularly within research and
development centers or technological parks). Additianally, as Hated in the
