applicant's and opposition's time from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. The motion

A motion was made by Paul Moore and seconded by Fred Edwards to close the
Public Hearingfor U13-02/vC13-03.
After further deliberation by the Planning Commission, the following comments
were made by the Planning Commissioners :
1. The request doesn't meet the requirements of the Fonn Based Code and goes
against all the work the community has done.
2. There is a lot of retail currently, looking forward to seeing the result of the
Fonn Based Code to provide mixed use developments .
3. Even though there may be a demand detennined by the applicant for
apartments , the vision for this area of the City is for mixed use development.
The Planning Commission felt it would not serve the vision for the area to
compromise the code that the City adopted. The Planning Commission
believes the code needs to be allowed to work and the applicant has requested
changes too far removed from the vision and intent of the code.
A motion was made by Paul Moore and seconded by Peyton Jamison to deny
U13-02 and VC13-03. The motion passed unanimously 6-0.
6. Adjourn -A motion was made by Paul Moore and seconded by Peyton
Jamison to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously 6-0.
