The memo from Clerk Freas provided some options regarding a date and/or location change for the May 23, 2001 Planning and Zoning meeting. The change is necessary in order to accommodate the public interviews of the City Manager candidates. After a brief discussion, the Commission decided to hold the meeting on May 23, 2001 at the Kenai Senior Center. l 7-b. Discussion -- Ordinance amending KMC 14.20.321 to provide: 1) 1 That applicants must provide evidence of being current on all city obligations prior to issuance of a permit; 2) To provide an annual report summarizing on-site activity for the year; 3) Setting forth standards far revocation of conditional use permits for non- compliance with the terms of the permit, violations of the Kenai Zoning Code, or delinquency of city obligations. Councilwoman Porter explained the proposed ordinance change had been recommended as there was currently no mechanism for policing conditional use permits to assure the business is still in operation or that terms of the permit are being met. Porter continued, Administration prepared correspondence to current listed permit holders only to find that many of them were no longer in operation. The proposed change would require a permit holder to annually submit none-page report verifying their mode of operation, that they are current an city obligations (sales tax, Borough taxes, etc.), and whether or not they are still in business. The procedure would also prompt permit holders to request any changes to their mode of operation. After a brief discussion, the Commission agreed this was a good idea and La Shot indicated it would be on the next meeting agenda in the form of a resolution. 7-c.
