LUZ committee discusses revised exhibit for item 202-5488, proposes permitting commercial uses; several items deferred to Feb. 18

The Land Use & Zoning agenda meeting convened at 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 3 and opened with the chair reading a slate of items and their procedural posture. During discussion of agenda item 202-5488, a committee member identified in the record as "Mister Reingold" said he had received a revised written description dated Feb. 3 and had emailed redline and clean copies to all Land Use & Zoning members and left printed copies on seats.

"I did receive a revised written description dated February 3 today. I've emailed that to all the the L U Z members," Mister Reingold told the committee. He told the chair that if the committee takes up the amendment, the committee would move to replace the existing Exhibit 3 (dated Dec. 19) with the revised exhibit dated Feb. 3. The chair agreed to note the date as Feb. 3 for the amendment paperwork.

Council Member Johnson asked whether the short title of the amendment would change. Mister Reingold said the third component of the amendment would change the permitted uses and described his proposed committee amendment as striking the language in the title and body so the change would "generally permit commercial uses." "My proposed amendment for the committee is simply to strike all of the language in the title and in the body that it'll simply now say it'll generally permit commercial uses," he said.

The transcript records this procedural discussion and the proposed replacement of Exhibit 3 and change to permitted uses; it does not record a formal motion, who moved or seconded a motion, or any vote on those changes.

The chair then read a long list of additional items and called their procedural status. Several items were explicitly deferred. The chair announced that items identified in the record as items 6 through 17 (bill numbers in the 2026 series) are being deferred to the next cycle, and that public hearings for deferred items are scheduled for the Feb. 18 cycle. The chair also noted additional deferred items later in the listing and said certain items (20 26 58–61 in the transcript) were on second reading.

No recorded votes or formal outcomes appear in the provided transcript. The meeting adjourned after the chair completed the agenda reading.

What happened next: the transcript indicates the committee anticipated replacing Exhibit 3 for item 202-5488 with the Feb. 3 revision and discussed an amendment to broaden permitted commercial uses, but the committee did not record any formal motion or vote on these changes in the transcript. Multiple items were deferred to the Feb. 18 public hearing cycle. The agenda meeting was then adjourned.

Provenance (transcript evidence): topic introduction begins at SEG 001; the revised written description and exhibit-replacement discussion appear beginning SEG 015–SEG 033; the uses/amendment discussion appears SEG 039–SEG 050; public-hearing scheduling and deferrals are announced SEG 075–SEG 083 and SEG 094–SEG 099; adjournment is SEG 111–SEG 112.

Clarifying notes: the transcript identifies speakers by turn (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, Speaker 3) and includes the spoken reference to "Council Member Johnson" and to "Mister Reingold." The record does not specify a mover, a seconder, vote tallies, or formal adoption language for the Exhibit 3 replacement or the uses amendment. Where the transcript lists bill numbers, it appears to be reading bill identifiers rather than agenda sequence numbers; the chair said those entries are deferred to the next public hearing cycle on Feb. 18.
