VAN PERNIS: You clarify that the services, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and other <br /> similar health services are not allowed for a special use permit in residential areas, yet you allow <br /> the multiple family residential areas. It doesn't seem appropriate. That's why a use permit should <br /> be required if there's going to be medical services in clinics in any residential area. Why do you <br /> have RM with no special permit, in other words residential areas such as RS, double family <br /> residential - - - so on, so forth. <br /> DARROW: Do you want me to answer that, Tracie? <br /> CARR SMITH: Go ahead, Jeff. <br /> DARROW: Okay. Commissioner Van Pernis, if you look at the permitted uses in the RM <br /> zoning district, it allows what's called personal services. Which, as part of this amendment, we <br /> are separating massage and chiropractic from that use, which is currently permitted and creating <br /> its own new permitted use. It is currently permitted there now, all we're doing is separating it <br /> and creating a new permitted use. <br /> VAN PERNIS: But isn't this an opportunity to take those kind of commercial activities out of <br /> multiple residential, like out of condos and apartment buildings where they have commercial <br /> zoning too? <br /> DARROW: They don't have commercial zoning. They have certain uses that are commercial in <br /> nature that are allowed as a permitted use in those zoning, in that zoning district. And again, the <br /> main one is personal service uses, which at this time, prior to this amendment, allows these uses <br /> as permitted. <br /> VAN PERNIS: So you can have these kind of personal services in residential condos? <br /> DARROW: In RM zoning,correct. It has limitations, and it has to be approved by the Director. <br /> If you refer to your, let's see, page— <br /> VAN PERNIS: Does it require a special use permit? <br /> DARROW: Well, normally these are found in urban zonings, not in agricultural zonings, so they <br /> would not require a special permit. <br /> VAN PERNIS: In multiple residential properties. <br /> DARROW: Correct. Yeah. <br /> VAN PERNIS: [Inaudible] changes, change it and have such uses, causal uses sneak in, be <br /> excluded from multiple residential. If I was living in a condo, I wouldn't want commercial <br /> activity next door. <br /> 3 <br /> EXHIBIT G <br />
