Bowling Green council tables zoning map changes, sets public hearing for Coleman Avenue vacation
Summary
Council tabled three zoning and code-change ordinances (9,339; 9,340; 9,341) to March 2 for required public hearings and set an April 6 public hearing at 5:45 p.m. for the Coleman Avenue vacation; members requested more time to review revisions to proposed code changes.
Bowling Green City Council tabled three items related to zoning and local code changes to allow for public hearings and additional review.
Ordinance 9,339, which would amend sections of the codified ordinances addressing classification of civil offenses and the storage of recreational vehicles at residences, was discussed briefly. The chair of the relevant committee thanked staff (Hunter Brown is named in the record) for work on the legislation and said additional time was needed to examine recently circulated changes. A motion to table Ordinance 9,339 until March 2 was moved, seconded and carried. The transcript records the request for more committee review and the unanimous spoken assent to table the item.
Two zoning map amendment ordinances were also tabled to March 2. Ordinance 9,340 would change zoning for approximately 4.979 acres on West Newton Road (parcel B0851014001006) from IE Innovation and Employment to I Institutional zoning; Miss Elliott moved to table the matter until the required public hearing on March 2. Ordinance 9,341 would amend the zoning map for approximately 5.8 acres at 1168 North Main Street (parcel numbers read in the record) from C commercial to IE Innovation and Employment; that item also was tabled to March 2 to allow for the public hearing process.
Additionally, Miss Elliott set the required public hearing for the Coleman Avenue vacation ordinance (Ordinance 9,344) for April 6 at 5:45 p.m. in the evening. The council asked staff to prepare materials and public notices ahead of the March 2 hearings. The spoken record includes parcel numbers and acreage; it does not include maps, public comments, or detailed staff reports in the transcript. Those materials should be requested from Planning staff prior to the hearings.
What remains unresolved: the transcript contains inconsistent name spellings and does not include the full ordinance texts or associated maps. Council directed staff to circulate revisions and prepare hearing materials before March 2.
