e proposed ordinance would expand the use option for industrially zoned land in the area. Ms. Smernoff said that the Whiteaker Community Council was supportive of the ordinance and was supportive of the continued existence and expansion of industrial uses in the neighborhood. Responding to a question from Councilor Schue, Ms. Smernoff said that the ordinance would not affect Mr. Hamilton's firm's ability to expand onto industri- ally zoned properties he currently owns. She said that the ordinance would not allow new industrial development on property not previously developed industrially. She said, specifically, that the lot Mr. Hamilton had expressed an interest in expanding onto, while it was currently used for a residential duplex, was zoned M-2 and therefore could be used for expansion of the firm. Councilor Smith said that Mr. Hamilton had suggested an amendment to the proposed ordinance, but that, in view of staff comments, this did not appear to be necessary, since the ordinance would favorably address Mr. Hamilton's concerns. Councilor Ball was concerned that Mr. Hamilton had never received the letter he had requested 'from the Planning Department explaining his options for expansion under the proposed ordinance. Ms. Smernoff said that Planning staff members had met with Mr. Hamilton several times. She noted that changes in the proposed matrix of uses had been made after the Planning Commission hearing. Councilor Lindberg requested that staff send Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Booth copies of the minutes of this meeting and letters summarizing the effect of the ordinance on their areas of concern. Mr. Lindberg said he felt that the proposed ordinance e was consistent with the City's economic development and comprehensive planning efforts, particularly in the matter of cQre area revital~zation. Mr. Hamel felt it was important for businesses, not just neighborhood residents, to be included in area planning efforts. Acting Mayor Obie said he felt that the council had addressed the concerns of the businesses in the area and that this could be confirmed in writing to Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Booth, as suggested by Mr. Lindberg.
