Motion to Reconsider from Councilor Trevor Phillips concerning the legislative zone change and code amendment to repeal overlay zones in the SCAN neighborhood.
Ward(s): Ward 2

MOTION:
I move to reconsider City Council’s decision to reject the proposed zone change and code amendment to repeal overlay zones in the SCAN neighborhood.
DISCUSSION:
At the June 26, 2023 City Council meeting, City Council voted 5-4 against a motion to advance ordinance bill no. 5-23 to second reading. The ordinance bill would eliminate the Saginaw Street, Superior-Rural, Oxford-West Nob Hill, Oxford-Hoyt, and Hoyt-McGilchrist overlay zones. City Council also rejected an amendment to the motion to retain the overlay zones, remove most standards from the zones, but retain a height limitation.
City Council Rule 11 provides for a motion to reconsider any action taken by the Council. The motion must be made no later than the close of the next following regular meeting of the Council, and must be made by one of the prevailing side, but may be seconded by any member.
I, Councilor Phillips, voted with the prevailing side on June 26th and therefore may make a motion to reconsider on this matter.
If the motion to reconsider passes, I intend to make a second motion to delay Council deliberation on the proposed zone change and code amendment to a future City Council meeting. Further, if the motion to reconsider is passed, I request that notice of the deliberations on the matter be provided to SCAN and each person that submitted testimony.
