Mayor Younger called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Mayor Younger introduced a discussion of an Ordinance amending the General Zoning Ordinance to provide for a voluntary residential trans- fer of development rights. Mr. Robbins advised the amendment was re- commended by the Planning and Zoning Commissions. Mr. Robbins advised no zoning application had been received from the granting zone (green area shown on projector), and that the land use amendment and two zoning ordinances before the Council and Planning and Zoning Commissions needed to be acted upon simultaneously to effect the transfer. Before the land use amendment and zoning ordinances can be acted upon, the trans- fer of development rights amendment to the General Zoning Ordinance must be adopted. Mr. Robbins stated he does not recommend the City ever initiate the TDR Ordinance as written. Mr. Gonzalez stated the property owner would be responsible for initiating the TDR Ordinance with the exception of City-owned property. Mayor Younger asked if we could make changes to the map if they are not in place now (Section 40.100.101., and Mr. Robbins stated this Section allows that. Mr. Robbins stated this Ordinance is for voluntary purposes. Mr. Hankins stated the Council will have the choice to accept or reject a transfer in the voting procedure. The owner would have to transfer by deed or easement. Mr. Millecam stated the Planning Commission had had some concern for the City's protection from a person going to court regard- ing remuneration, and Mr. Hankins responded the City is protected with the requirement of a deed or easement. Mr. Millecam advised that Part 3 of the TDR Ordinance gives the City an option to see what kind of zoning the City wants. * Mr. Guerra present at 6:39 p.m~; ** Dr. Rogers present at 7:00 p.m. *** Messrs. Wade and Hildebrandt and Ms. Garcia were not present at this meeting.
