Odio City Manager RECOMMENDATIONS INTEP-OFFICE MEMOiiANDUM DATE: MAY - 2 G 1987 InLEt sueitcT: Overall Revisions to Zoning Ordinance 9500 REFERENGESt ENCLOEUREst It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution allocating $80,000 from Special Programs and Accounts - Contingencies for the purpose of funding overall revisions to Zoning Ordinance 9500 for the period of June 15, 1987 - June 14, 1988. BACKGROUND The Planning Department proposes a program whereby a professional and technical team would undertake a 12 month effort to comprehensively revise and update Zoning Ordinance 9500. Zoning Ordinance 9500 took effect in June 1983. The Ordinance at that time was a completely new approach to zoning in content, format and procedures. Some of these approaches have proven to be sound; others have not held up in day-to-day administration. Since 1983 there have been 19 comprehensive text revisions and other single -subject text revisions. Yet, the general public still has difficulty in using the ordinance to their satisfaction. This 12-month effort and the professionally and technically demanding tasks involved dictate the need to use a two -person team approach. This team, in turn, would work closely with the Building and Zoning Department, under the general supervision of the Planning Director. This funding would underwrite two professional and technical services contracts (see companion items) and ancillary supplies. CHO/SR Attachments 87"'0 1q_4
