Callahan stated the Council was not there to present their views but rather to hear the Input from the Commission. He noted the proposed ordinance assumes that current marina uses would be allowed to continue until a requested change in marina or use. He suggested they not consider attaching land use provisions to number of slips allowed. He added the ordinance was not sent to the Commission because of the need to amend, but merely to review and consider amendments. Gaffron reviewed that the City has licensed marinas since the 1960s. In 1985 the City considered the license ineffective and considered approval of a conditional use permit instead, which was not well received by marinas. In the past few years, It has become clear that the City must recognize activities and changes on marina propertIes. Gaffron reviewed the three types of uses (permitted, conditional, and accessory). He noted that the Comprehensive Plan suggests that B-2 property should not be used solely to sail boats. He stated It is hoped that over a period of time, the City will have the mechanics to bring existing marinas Into better conformance. He reviewed to the references to the LMCD code and that those references may be outdated. Callahan noted it is the Council’s Intent to remove any reference to the LMCD ordinance from the code.
