Mr. Melena said, as the Whitney Plaza planned development progressed WHITNEY PLAZA through the City approvalprocess, three documents resulted; the first ORDINANCE ordinance, No. 532, the revisedordinance, No. 532.1, and the Planned CLARIFICATION Development Agreement based on the first ordinance. The developer has a concern over the final language in Ordinance No. 532.1. Section A19-2(a)(3) includes a sentence specifying maximum square footage of auto service uses as a combination of Zones 1 and 2. The section also places a limit of two auto service bays in Zone 1. The sentence related to square footage should be eliminated and would clarify the ordinance. This would not change the controls the City has in the development. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by HUmphrey, approving, a correction in the language of Ordinance No. 532~1, eliminating the sentence: "The maximum,square footage devoted to such auto service uses, in combination with auto service uses in Zone 2, shall not exceed 12,750 square feet." from Section A19- 2(a)(3); and eliminating the phrase: "in combination with auto service uses in Zone 1," from Section A19~2(b)(4).
