Historic District and 377 Thoroughfare
The Committee has agreed not to call the downtown area the Historic District.  There being too many rules, regulations and restrictions associated with developing and maintaining an historic district.  The project to maintain historical integrity will be referred to as the C3-Central Business District Project or Ordinances.  The Committee will focus on tightening ordinances for how it will be developed in the future.
The C3 Ordinances are much cleaner and easier to maintain.  This will lend to future P&Z Committees being able to add to and expand ordinances.
The Committee needs to look at how we can take all the past information and research that we have and simplify it to fit our needs to amend and add to current ordinances to maintain C3 zoning.
P&Z will have a special meeting on April 13, 2016 to make these additions and amendments. These will be given to Donna who can pass them on to the city lawyer or start them on the appropriate process track.

Next Meeting set for April 27, 2016 7:00 p.m.
Adjourn:  Meeting was adjourned at 8:04 p.m.  Motion made by Kristi Staples, seconded by Janet Sloane. All ayes.
