Ordinance [TC 129-02] Concerning Changes to the Temporary Use Section of the
Zoning Ordinance [Zoning Ordinance Section 14] [to allow for carnivals to
operate for up to ten days rather than eight days] This
item is to consider amending the zoning ordinance to allow carnivals to
operate for a maximum of 10 days rather than the current limit of 8 days. The Joint City County Planning Committee
[JCCPC] initiated this proposal at its February meeting on behalf of a
nonprofit organization. The JCCPC
recommends approval of this amendment.
The Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission recommends approval. The City Council adopted this amendment in
March. A nonprofit group that hosted a
carnival in the City in early April requested that the carnival run for one
week plus the two weekends. The
Temporary Use section of the Zoning Ordinance [Section 14] limited carnivals to
a maximum of eight days. The amendment
to extend that time to ten days was passed by the City in time for the carnival
to be scheduled as planned. This
amendment is now being presented to the Board of County Commissioners for
approval. Resource Person(s): Bonnie
Estes, Assistant Planning Director County Manager's
Recommendation: The Manager?s recommendation is that the Board
adopt the ordinance amendment at the conclusion of the public hearing. 9. Site Plan
