explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT

This petition/ordinance amends the list of permitted uses by right in the Automotive-oriented business district (BA) to add Division J - Public Administration as described in the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual, but specifically excluding correctional institutions. Division J - Public Administration includes a wide variety of offices and facilities encompassing the activities of the federal, state, and local governments. Adding Public Administration to the list of permitted uses for properties with BA zoning will provide additional opportunities for locating government offices within city limits.

Public Administration is a permitted use in all of the business and mixed use zoning districts within the City with the exception of the BA and Tourist oriented business (BT) zoning districts.
The BA zoning district primarily allows for a variety of automotive and large-scale commercial uses that commonly require outside sales and display of goods or require immediate proximity to major transportation arteries. The BA zoning district also provides for a small selection of compatible smaller-scale retail and service uses. BA zoning is generally located east of NW 13th Street, north of University Avenue, and west of Waldo Road.
