50. MOTION - NO. M-26-54 - BY: COUNCILMEMBER KING

 Brief:
 Directing City Planning Commission to conduct a public hearing to consider an amendment to Article 19
 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 4,264 M.C.S., as amended by Ordinance No.
 26,413 M.C.S. and subsequent amendments) to establish a new Interim Zoning District to be named the
 Behrman Mixed-Use Integrity Interim Zoning District (“IZD”), the intent of which is to temporarily
 prohibit the use of Multi-Family Dwellings within the S-MU Suburban Neighborhood Mixed-Use
 District and the MU-1 Medium Intensity Mixed-Use District, bounded by Wall Boulevard, Holiday
 Drive, and General De Gaulle Drive, that do not incorporate non-residential uses occupying at least 50%
 of the ground-floor area until the CPC has considered the implementation of an overlay zoning district
 that ensures any proposed developments within the affected area align with the mixed-use goal of those
 districts.
