JUL 2A 1995 BOOK 61 <,E 617 <br />Planner Shearer emphasized that they targeted OCR (Office <br />Commercial and Residential) for some of our MXD areas as this <br />would be a way to still allow single family dwelling in that area <br />and also have a very limited range of commercial uses. He <br />informed the Board that the big changes are in the industrial <br />districts. In the past they had problems with LM -1 because'it <br />was based on performance standards and very few uses were listed; <br />it, therefore, become an interpretation problem. Mr. Shearer <br />felt IL (Light Industrial District) will be much easier to deal <br />with and noted that it will allow some heavier commercial uses <br />such as warehouses, wholesaling, light manufacturing. <br />Commissioner Wodkte questioned the letter designations of <br />the various districts, noting the first we have OCR - Office <br />Commercial and Residential and then go to CN - Neighborhood Com- <br />mercial, CL - Limited Commercial. He wondered why we swap the <br />lettering around ratifier than having it NC and LC, etc. <br />Planner Shearer explained the way the zoning is structured, <br />we have commercial districts which are designated "C" and then <br />they are modified with the various letters; it is the same with <br />the residential districts, where the "R" is always first. <br />Director Keating felt it is really an improvement having the <br />major category listed first and the modifier second. <br />Planner Shearer continued that the IG - General Industrial <br />District, which would replace M-1 will allow about any type <br />industrial use imaginable; the most obnoxious uses, however, <br />would only be allowed by a special exception use which would have <br />to be established by the Board. He further noted that to <br />supplement these new districts, we also have new regulations in <br />Section 25(A)1, which criteria will be reviewed to determine what <br />use would be appropriate. This works the same way for the <br />special exception uses. He reported that the Planning & Zoning <br />Commission recommended approval of the proposed changes. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we are going to permit OCR on <br />22 <br />
