Opposed same sign? Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rohm: We are going to take a short break here and we will reconvene in about ten minutes. Hood: Mr. Chair, I don't know if that was an official motion or action or not. have got like a 30 second presentation and, then, just elections, unless you guys are really just wanting to take a break, but -- okay. That's fine. Rohm: We are going to take a short break. (Recess.) Rohm: At this time I'd like to reconvene the regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and open up Public Hearing ZGA 17-002 and begin with the staff report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair. That was pretty close. It's actually ZOA 07-002. Rohm: Didn't have my glasses on. Hood: I noticed you didn't have your reading glasses on, so -- thirty seconds. I'm already on the clock. Okay. This is a temporary use UDC text amendment and the primary purpose is to amend the current definitions in the UDC regarding temporary uses. We have been working with legal department staff and basically we are going to take everything currently in the UDC regarding temporary uses and move those over into Title 3 and kind of get fireworks stands, garage sales, temporary sales, carnivals, those types of things, outdoor markets, model homes, sales office, citizens use permits, they will all kind of be home together in this Title 3. So, we are amending our definition of what it is to be a temporary use. We are keeping just a minor minor section in here, but, essentially, we are striking everything out and you probably should see a new Title 3 -- I believe Emily is trying to put this on an agenda for January or February at the City Meridian Planning 8 Zoning Commission December 20, 2007 Page 40 of 42 Council. So, we are just trying to make sure we didn't have city code in two places that were going to be in conflict. So, we are striking ours in anticipation. So, any questions I could try to answer them for you. Siddoway: So, the -- Mr. Chairman, the action tonight is to strike it out of the UDC. We are not -- this does not add it to Title 3 at the same time? Hood,: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Siddoway, that's correct. Yeah.. Like mentioned, Emily's working on the new Title 3. That doesn't even have to come back to this body, because it's in Title 3. We are keeping a small portion. We are still keeping a definition and that definition, essentially, says go see Title 3 and temporary uses and what you need to do. And, then, we are keeping I think a short little thing about model homes or one of the ones that we -- primarily we are the only department that works with them, but, essentially, it's -- it's paired way way back. Siddoway: Mr. Chairman, my only concern is do -- if we strike it before it's added to the other ordinance, do we create a problem for any temporary uses that come in in that time? Hood: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Siddoway, you are not actually striking it, it will be at the City Council and what we will do is when the City Council looks at Title 3, this will also be on their docket for that night. So, there will be a few seconds in time where this won't exit, but -- yeah. Siddoway: They will be at Council together, though? Hood,: Correct. Siddoway: Okay. That's what I needed to know. Thanks. Rohm: Okay. Could I get a motion to -- well, first of all, let's close the Public Hearing on ZOA 07-002. Siddoway: May just note for the record that there is no one in the audience.
