Director Streiler noted that last meeting’s discussion was very productive. The restriction on inflatables has been struck from the proposed Text Amendment. Non-commercial events held at a neighborhood-owned clubhouse. A definition has for clubhouse has been added. Mayor Clement asked about events held in the parking lot of a clubhouse. Director Streiler responded that these events would not be subject to a Special Event Permit. Mayor Clement asked why food trucks are not permitted to which Director Streiler responded that they will be allowed if properly licensed and an application has been submitted. Food truck regulations will be in Chapter 600 of the Code, which this Commission does not handle. Director Streiler also mentioned that vehicles parked for less than 30 minutes are not considered food trucks thus allowing ice cream trucks to operate without needing a Special Event Permit. Commissioner Streeter stated that the language regarding public attractions and public attraction events should be consistent. Additionally, common ground does not appear to be listed as an exemption. Director Streiler stated that section 405.880 A. covers this exemption. Common ground is not considered “unimproved.” Mayor Clement asked if there is an argument against adding common ground to the exemptions. Acting Chairman Smith suggested that exemptions should explicitly state that the exemptions are for outdoor events thus including common ground. Director Streiler will add an exemption for common ground. Mayor Clement asked whether the proposed text amendment should be tabled again. Director Streiler stated he would rather not table it. Mayor Clement asked if whether the Commission could give a favorable recommendation with the requirement that the Commission agree with the edits. Commissioner Korte made note of a couple minor typos to be corrected. Commissioner Streeter made note that two sections were both incorrectly referred to as 405.890. Director Streiler mentioned that a hyperlink was added to the application form. Acting Chairman Smith made the motion to give a favorable recommendation to the Board of Aldermen regarding CASE 22-TXT-002 with the condition that all edits discussed at this meeting be made to the final submission. The edits are to be distributed to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Clement seconded the motion; motion approved by voice vote. The vote taken was recorded as follows: 3 PLANNING & ZONING MINUTES July 11, 2022 Ayes Nays Abstentions Excused 5 0 0 3 7.
