Consideration of a motion to rescind and repeal action taken by Town Council on June 17, 2019, regarding a rezoning application for 374-380 Maple Avenue W.
Body
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
At the July 1, 2019 regular Town Council meeting, a motion was approved to set a joint public hearing of Town Council and the Planning Commission regarding a motion to rescind and repeal approval of the MAC rezoning application for 374-380 Maple Avenue W (agenda item 19-1317), which was approved at the June 17, 2019 regular Town Council meeting. Notification of intent to move to rescind was provided by a Councilmember at the June 17, 2019 meeting, during discussion of the proposed rezoning.
A move to rescind an approved motion is supported by Article 3, Section 2-11 of the Town Code, in accordance with Article IX, Section 35 of Robert's Rules of Order. Reasons for consideration of a motion to rescind include continued concerns about pedestrian, vehicular, and congestion impacts and related potential safety issues, the narrowing of Wade Hampton Drive, encroachment upon Town right-of-way, and possible insufficient space for delivery vehicles as well as concerns about zoning implications for replacing a commercial building with a predominately residential building.
The property owner for 374-380 Maple has submitted protest petitions pursuant to Town Code Section 18-248, protesting the proposed motion to rescind and repeal. Accordingly, a two-thirds vote of the Town Council quorum present shall be required for a motion to pass.
