Council Member Davis requested that when the Planning Department was an
applicant on a zoning case and the case was denied by the City Zoning
Commission, she asked that as a matter of course the Planning Department,
acting in the role of the City, file a letter of appeal, not because they disagree
with the City Zoning Commission, but to allow the case to move forward with
all options open to the City Council.
Mayor Moncrief stated that Zoning Docket No. ZC-06-020, delayed from
earlier on the agenda, would be heard at this time.

Jim Schell alternatives with his client and requested that the Council approve the zoning

notice the site plan case to provide the applicant an opportunity to file the plan
by the May deadline which would then provide a June zoning. He added that

Council Member Haskin withdrew her original motion, and Council Member
Espino withdrew his original second to the motion.

Zoning Commission, it would be expedited to the City Council meeting the
following week instead of waiting the normal 30 days. He added that there was
staff processing involved in reviewing the site plan and that the City would
collect the normal application fee, but not a double fee at the Council's
direction, and expedite the site plan to the next Council meeting.
