WORKSHOP -FEBRUARY 8, 2001

Members present: Mayor Wright, Councilmembers Clark, Hoover, Barrett, Vaughn, and Kovach.
Members absent: None
Staff present: Ted Rowe, Kathy Turner, Dave White, and legal counsel, Wayne K. Olson.
A. WORKSHOP
1. Review of citywide rezoning.
Mr. Mort Wetterling, Planning Department briefed Council on the proposed citywide
rezoning. He addressed areas of change, additional changes from the original proposal
and areas owners opposed to the proposed zoning classification.
Next, zoning classifications were addressed relating to sexually oriented businesses. It
was noted that there were no locations within the City of Kennedale that met the 800 or
500 foot distance requirement from a residential use. However, there was one area in the
city limits that would qualify for the 800 foot distance, but there are residences within the
City of Arlington's extra territorial jurisdiction, and staff had a concern with this. Legal
Counsel said that with the proposed citywide re-zoning, Council needed to review the
City's current ordinance to look at where reasonable location would be allowed.
Mayor Wright requested another public hearing to receive citizen's comments on the
proposed re-zoning and schedule for final action during the March regular meeting.
