This matter is scheduled for dis- cussion at your meeting of September 3. The purpose of this discussion will be to review the various elements of this zone and to determine whether the direction and requirements as written are appropriate. If it is found by the Commission that the draft as written is acceptable, Staff will set the matter for hearing at the first meeting in October. Between now and that time, Staff: will review the proposed ordinance with various members of the community that have a direct in- terest in such a zone , to obtain additional input in the fi- nalization of this zone. The only action required from the Commission is an indication as to whether this zone is appropriate as a starting point . If this is the case, then a minute motion to direct Staff to review it with various affected persons would be appropriate. PAW/kew attach.
