M/S: Hickey/Simpson to introduce Ordinance NO. 72.3 , "Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City of Ukiah Amending Division 9, Chapter 2 Of The City Of Ukiah Zoning Ordinance By Adding Article 13a - Zoning Administrator" . Councilwoman Snyder expressed an objeciton to Section 9173f of the proposed- ordinance. In her opinion, this could in time, create a new position and a new department and could create a great deal of criticism. Her suggestion was that in the event of increased activity in the Planning Department, a new committee and architectural committee could be created. Councilwoman Snyder was of the opinion Council would be derelict in its duties to assign this office to one person. Councilman Hickey was of the opinion this change- would not delay routine matters and would therby give the public better service. Councilman Simpson felt it important/b'� able to speed up processing routine applications and the fact that it would lighten the load of the Planning Commission. In his opinion, abuse could lead to repeal of the ordinance. Mayor Brannon referred to the Planning Director ' s Case Analysis of permits granted over the last two years wherein Planning Commission recommendation--- concurred with staff with very few exceptions. He suggested the use of a Consent Calendar in the same manner the Council does. The Zoning Admini strator position would give the Planning Commission more time for answers to the total planning program. Councilman Hickey' s motion to introduce Ordinance No. 723 carried by majority vote. Councilwoman. Snyder voted "NO" . Councilman Myers was absent.

The following persons spoke con- cerning the ordinance: Dr. William Levaditis - Brenda Levaditis Dr. William Werra The complaints registered were regarding Health Uses in Section 9165 , Number of Parking Spaces Required. There was general concensus that this section remain as it is in the current zoning ordinance. It was alleged that the proposed change would be dis- ruptive in the event a new partner came into the business as well as to any apprenticeship service a doctor may have. It was felt that the proposed change would be more confusing and complex than the current ordinance . With reference to the off street requirement, it was alleged this would not solve the problem. People will park where it is convenient. The prime resource in this valley is flat land and it should not be used for parking lots - this is a waste of land for a simple convenience.
