Ms. Hunter noted that they identified the commercial area at the corner of Valley Avenue and Hopyard Road. Commissioner Fox that that the site fell within a childcare buffer. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Iserson stated that notices were sent to people who expressed interest and that newspaper notices were printed as well. Commissioner Fox noted that she was not interested in reducing the residential buffer or the park buffer and that she was interested in having more flexibility to allow more carriers to be located on a building. She would like to hear the Pazk and Recreation Commission's opinion on this issue and would like the neighbors within 300 feet of parks to be noticed. Commissioner Sullivan agreed with Commissioner Fox's assessment and believed that the neighbors should be notified of the Park and Recreation Commission's meeting. Commissioner Fox moved to recommend approval to the City Council of PRZ-24 as conditioned in the staff report, with the additional conditions that: • the park and residential buffer zones would not be reduced; • more antennas would be allowed on roofs; and • the ordinance would be reviewed every three years.
