Memorandum 16-046

TO:                       MAYOR WYTHE AND CITY COUNCIL

FROM:                 MELISSA JACOBSEN, CMC, DEPUTY CITY CLERK

DATE:                  MARCH 3, 2016

SUBJECT:         RECONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 16-04(A)(S-2)(A)

At the February 22nd City Council meeting Council took the following actions on Ordinance 16-04(A)(S) relating to the zoning for marijuana:

Under Reconsideration

Voted yes to reconsider Ordinance 16-04(A)(S).

Under Public Hearing

Voted no to substitute Ordinance 16-04(A)(S) for Ordinance16-04(A)
Moved to substitute Ordinance 16-04(A)(S-2) for Ordinance 16-04(A)
Amended Ordinance 16-04(A)(S-2) to change the dates from the regular election in October to a special election in April

After that Council kept redirecting itself to Ordinance 16-04(A) and proceeded to propose amendments calling it A-2. 

The motion to substitute 16-04(A)(S-2)   was never amended to remove the allowance in rural residential or to go back to Ordinance 16-04(A) so when Council voted at the end of the public hearing, they voted on the Ordinance 16-04(A)(S-2) version as amended.  If the goal of the council is to go back to the version of 16-04(A) then it is recommended that the following actions are taken:

Under Reconsideration

Vote yes to reconsider Ordinance 16-04(A)(S-2)(A).

Under Pending Business

Vote no to substitute Ordinance 16-04(A)(S-2)(A).  That will put Ordinance 16-04(A) back on the floor.

A copy of Ordinance 16-04(A-2) is provided to show the amendments that were made at the February 22, 2016 meeting.
