moving $25K from façade/site rehab to new line item for overpass
beautification/landscaping along with 3) addition of moving $20K to another new line
item for RFP/Scope of Service to create N7 zoning district (as discussed below under

Signage criteria, etc, district zoning RFP language and next steps
(attachment C) Discussion. Jeff said what actually doing is developing new zoning for
the U.D.O., fitting N 7th into better description as urban with certain limits. Keri
reported planning department not in support of signage-keeping as goes against the
rules.
Discussion continued. Amortization program for signage, i.e. get free pass this time
with sign but in five years or 10 years the sign has to come down as district will
sunset in 10 years unless board bonds something. RFP, Keri agreed, is a great
opportunity for infill/Greenfield policies. Jeff said this is taking the Winter Plan and
making it an actual chapter in the U.D.O.
Discussion. Scott made the motion to amend FY13 budget to include line item for
RFP/Scope as presented by Keri for $20K to create N7 zoning district.
Keri will tighten up text. Needs to be discussion and action item on June agenda.
FYI
Keri alerted board that officer elections must happen at June meeting.

Michelle adjourned the meeting at 5:34pm.
