PlanningBoard | 2011-04-25 | 3 | in the use permit. Board member Wallis voiced his concerns about the mix of uses and how the mix of uses, two years from now, may become deleterious to the neighborhood. President Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she is concerned that the mix would not be diverse and Morton Street would fill up with only one kind of use. Mr. Thomas suggested altering the conditions of approval to return to the board for review within two years. He pointed out that the existing uses would be precluded from this review, to protect their right to exercise their business. Board member Wallis supported this idea. President Ezzy Ashcraft would like to see that the board give more thought to finding three in regards to "deleterious effects to other business districts and existing businesses. She does not support that zoning compliance determinations be completed over the counter. Instead, she recommends that any future tenant sit down with the planner and review the conditions of approval. She then asked whether this master use permit is similar to the proposed form-based code as proposed for the North of Lincoln area. Board member Kohlstrand asked for clarification on condition number 9 and the expiration date of the Use Permit. Ms. Wolter explained that a Use Permit becomes null and void, pursuant to the development code, if the uses covered in this use permit are not active for a duration of two years. Mr. Thomas elaborated on the expiration date and suggested that the board may want to consider a review period in two years to evaluate the efficiency of the use permit and establish if the proposed uses under this use permit are still the right mix for Morton Street. Board member Wallis asked for more clarification on the legal framework for extending the use permit for two years again after the initial approval date. Ms Wolter explained the difference between condition number 7 and 9 and explained the revision process in two years. President Ezzy Ashcraft supported a two year review and written zoning compliance determination. Board member Kohlstrand added that the planning division be called out as the division that would issue the zoning compliance determination. She supported a review in two years. Mr. Thomas suggested language revisions to condition number 9 to reflect the requested changes by President Ezzy Ashcraft and board member Kohlstrand. He also explained that existing uses established under the use permit, within the two year period, would not be subject to review when the mandatory two year review comes before the board again. Board member Zuppan asked how the suggested uses were assembled. She found the mix if uses to be not particularly synergistic. Ms Wolter explained that the mix of uses was solely based on the archaic C-1 zoning code that allows certain uses permitted with use permits.
