Planning Issues A. Hearings in August- Thursday, August 5. B. Hearing Examiner — Linda James informed members that she had discussed the possibility of Council appointing a hearing examiner with the Mayor and Council members, who support the proposal.

The intent would be to remove some of the burden placed on P&Z • members by eliminating one hearing night per month. Mrs. James noted that her intent was to begin the process to amend the Zoning Ordinance as soon as possible and that the first hearing would be held before P&Z. Members agreed that this proposal would be a good move on the part of the city. Mrs. James also discussed other amendments to the Zoning Ordinance that she would like to include, i.e., adding Bed and Breakfast to residential zones as a special use permit; adding Office as a special use in R-2 zones; eliminating the 200 foot restricrion of commercial uses on properties in M-1 zones; and eliminating the requirement of 2 acres for planned unit developments.
