Regular Meeting March 21, 2006 217. Page 7 I O'Leary stated this discussion item was the result of illustrations being shown to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, then the illustrations changed. Carol Barrett, Director of Planning and Development, stated if the developer shows an idea to the Planning and Zoning Commission, they must show the same idea to the City Council. She stated if the Council directs the Planning Department to get tougher with the applicants and require the ideas to be submitted as Exhibits, would be a change to the Land Development Code, which would need to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and then the City Council. Mr. Mihalkanin stated he feels the Council should have the illustrations recorded as Exhibits. He stated he feels schematic designs should not be a part of the record. Mr. Diaz stated he feels a digital picture should be taken and then the illustration should be placed on top of the digital picture to get a better look at the proposed development. Ms. Barrett stated when a variance request comes before the Zoning Board of Appeals, the renderings are taken in as a record and later used to see if any changes were made that were not anticipated with the zoning change. She stated the same process can also be done with illustrations shown to Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Mr. Thomaides stated he feels there is real value in having illustrations submitted as a record. Mr. Jones stated he feels this can be done administratively. Mayor Narvaiz stated she feels Staff should be directed to work with the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the LDC changes and then bring back to the City Council for approval.
