Resolution 2007-006 Amending Exhibit"A"of Resolution 2006-121. PAGE 3 The Northwest Subarea Plan was initiated in 2005 in response to City Plan (2004), which identified the Northwest Area as a priority for future subarea planning. It provides a more specific vision and policy framework for neighborhoods,commercial areas,open spaces and undeveloped land. The primary objective is to tailor City Plan principles to the specific circumstances of this area. The Northwest Subarea Plan was adopted on December 19,2006 by Resolution 2006-120. Based on Subarea Plan policy LU-2.1 and Strategy LU-2.1a, amendments to the Land Use Code are necessary and a rezoning is needed on 4.8 acres near the northeast corner of West Vine Drive and North Shields Street in order to allow existing properties to change uses, expand or redevelop. These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 19, 2006, adopt these amendments and rezoning. Ordinance No.208,2006 has been revised on Second Reading to add two uses to the Limited Commercial (CL) zone, including: • Shelters for victims of domestic violence • Satellite dish antennas greater than thirty-nine (39) inches in diameter On December 19,2006,City Council approved the second reading of Ordinance 192,2006, providing amendments to Land Use Code sections 4.24(B)(1)(a)and 4.24(B)(1)(e)allowing these two uses.

This Ordinance,unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 16, 2007, updates to related provisions of the City Code. Since First Reading,refinements have been made to better reflect the terminology that will be used by the City Manager in designating subdivisions of the City organization.
