Enclosure <br /> <br />June 27, 2002 <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />CiW of Martinsville <br />Martinsville, Virginia <br /> <br />Council Members, <br /> <br />The Planning Commission, at a meeting on June 27, 2002, conducted a public hearing <br />on a request from city staff to amend Zoning Ordinance Section XIII, Business and <br />Manufacturing Districts. The proposed amendments place uses allowed by right and <br />uses allowed by special use permit along side each other in their respective business <br />and manufacturing zoning district sections of the ordinance. <br /> <br />In additior[ numerous outdated terms were removed and replaced by current planning <br />tenstinology and other terms changed for ease of understanding. One substantive <br />change proposed is removal of transient storage of hazardous waste as a use allowed <br />by special use permit. Otherwise the changes proposed are largely administrative <br />and organizational in nature and with illustrations added to improve understanding and <br />clarity. <br /> <br />Following discussion of the proposed amendments, in which no opposition was <br />expressed, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend to City <br />Council that the Zoning Ordinance be amended as proposed (see attachment). The <br />Planning Commission respectfully submits the above request for Council's further <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />James Barnett, Secretary <br /> <br />Wayne D. P. Knox <br />Planning/Zoning & Housing Manager <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Cc: James Barnett <br /> <br /> <br />
