Recommended by Waterfront Overlay Task Force, Design Commission, Environmental Board, Parks Board and Planning Commission. Reviewed by Downtown Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission.
The public hearing was held open and the second reading of the ordinance to adopt first reading action, as stated below, with the following amendments, was approved on Council Member Martinez' motion, Mayor Pro Tem McCracken's second on a 7-0 vote. The first reading of the ordinance was to amend Section 25-2-715 (A)(2) to read, "Administrative site plans are not required to be reviewed by the Waterfront Planning Advisory Board (WPAB). Copies of all administrative site plans will be forwarded to the WPAB to allow them to maintain a comprehensive understanding of all development activity within the Waterfront Overlay." This wording was added, "Property located in a planned unit development (PUD) on the effective date of this ordinance will not be subject to this ordinance as long as the property remains in a PUD." The following friendly amendments made by Council Members Morrison and Shade were accepted by the maker of the motion, Council Member Martinez, and Mayor Pro Tem McCracken, who seconded the motion: The ordinance will be amended to add to Part 24(A) that the City Manager will work with the newly established Water Front Advisory Board (Board).

A friendly amendment was made by Council Member Morrison to have Council adopt a super-majority vote requirement for PUDs that would be a variance to the Waterfront Overlay. The amendment was not accepted by the maker of the motion. There was a motion to amend the ordinance that was made by Council Member Morrison and seconded by Council Member Leffingwell to add to the ordinance a super-majority vote requirement for PUDS that would be a variance to the Waterfront Overlay. The motion failed on a vote of 2-5. Those voting aye were: Council Members Leffingwell and Morrison. Those voting nay were: Mayor Wynn, Mayor Pro Tem McCracken, and Council Members Cole, Martinez and Shade. A friendly amendment was made by Council Member Morrison to add the following language to part 25, "In the PUD with no major amendments, subsequent amendments to such PUDs shall be subject to the requirements of this ordinance planned unit developments approved after the date of this ordinance shall be subject to the requirements of this ordinance." The word "major" was changed to "substantial" by a friendly amendment from Council Member Morrison. The amendment was accepted by the maker of the motion, Council Member Martinez, and Mayor Pro Tem McCracken, who seconded the motion. However, Council Member Morrison withdrew her motion and agreed to work with Council Member Martinez to craft new language prior to third reading. A friendly amendment was made by Mayor Pro Tem McCracken directing staff to bring the item back on June 11, 2009 for third reading. This was accepted by the maker of the motion, Council Member Martinez. A friendly amendment was made by Council Member Shade to have the makeup of the board include a representative of the Parks Board, Environmental Board and the Design Commission. This was accepted by the maker of the motion, Council Member Martinez, and Mayor Pro Tem McCracken, who seconded the motion. Council Member Shade withdrew her motion.
