these uses are compatible with the surrounding areas. Planning Commission reviewed this amendment and recommended approval. wanush explained that this zoning district is slightly different than other zones. The PCZD sorting calls for any Planned Community Toned Dis- trict to have a general development plan which spells out areas of uses in relationship of various uses to another. In addition, Council can, in approving the general development plan, limit uses even further than the zoning ordinance itself. The reason for the two amendments being decided tonight is that during the review of the Ohmeda Subdivision PUD, it was clear to the staff that a use like Ohaeda was a permitted use. The agreement specifically stated that research offices and corporate uses on Parcel I is permitted. In addition, there are 4-5 other parcels that have this designation. However, in going back to the zoning ordinance itself, there is no definition or research office and is somewhat unclear. As staff researched and reviewed records of hearings that designated this use, it is clear that a use like Ohreda was always considered to be an appropriate use through the general development plan. When Linear, who is doing the PUD development on this, looked at the ordinance, they didn't feel it was clearly defined. Therefore, staff initiated this amendment to the ordinance to add these two items allowing Research/Office and Corporate uses to dispel any doubt that uses like Ohasda, essentially high tech research with an assembly component, are clearly permitted uses under the designation Research/Office and Corporate uses within the agreement. Mayor Pauson asked for anyone wishing to speak either in opposition of or in favor to this Ordinance. There were no comments. Mayor Tsuson closed the public hearing and called for a notion. Mohr moved that Ordinance 0925 be adopted. Szymanski seconded. By Roll Call Vote, Ordinance 0925 was adopted unanimously. 3
