ORDINANCE — INTRODUCTION
ZONE CHANGE FOR 1210 —1224 BERNHEIM AVENUE
Commissioner Coleman offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Guess, that the Board of
Commissioners introduce an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE
FINAL REPORT OF THE PADUCAH PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE PROPOSED
ZONE CHANGE FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1210-1224 BERNHEIM AVENUE,
AND AMENDING THE PADUCAH ZONING ORDINANCE SO AS TO EFFECT SUCH
REZONING." This ordinance is summarized as follows: Rezone 1210 through 1224
Bernheim Avenue from R-3 (Medium Density Residential Zone) to B-3 (General Business
Zone), and amending the Paducah Zoning Ordinance to effect such rezoning.
WORKSHOP
PARKING SPACES FOR OLD CHAMBER BUILDING
Mr. Steve Ervin, City Planner, informed the Board that 417 S 4th Street is for sale. The
current owner had a verbal agreement with the city for use of parking spaces. Before this
property is sold a written parking agreement needs to be in place between the owners of the
property and the City. Without an agreement Mr. Ervin said the property when sold could
only be used for residential purposes due to zoning regulations. He gave the following
alternatives:
• Establish an agreement between the City and the new owners allowing for the use of
19 parking spaces.
• Lease the property owner of 417 S4th Street 19 parking spaces.
• Establish an agreement between the City and the new owners allowing for the use of
19 parking spaces in consideration for the use of the parking spaces the property owner
would be responsible for paving the parking lot directly behind the All ie Morgan
Communication Center.
• Deny the new tenant the use of the parking lot for commercial land uses.
The City Manager recommended Mr. Ervin propose to the Chamber that the City will make
the parking spaces available through an agreement with restrictions at no charge to the new
owner until a need might arise for those spaces. If the City should have to utilize the spaces
then an option for the owner would be to pave the parking area behind the Allie Morgan
Communications Center.
