Both appointments were approved during the meeting proceedings. ## Amendment to Zoning Ordinance [timestamp: 00:10] The City Council considered Ordinance 0621-21, which proposed amendments to Articles 8-21 and 8-22 of the Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance aimed to revise regulations for Adaptive Reuse and Flex Space Projects while removing the Industrial Mixed Use Project category entirely. Key speakers during the discussion included Plomin and Kay, who presented the proposed changes to the zoning framework. The amendments focused on updating the regulatory structure for adaptive reuse developments and flexible space projects, which allow for mixed-use developments that can adapt to changing market conditions and community needs. The removal of the Industrial Mixed Use Project category represented a significant change to the zoning ordinance, streamlining the available project types and potentially simplifying the development approval process for certain types of mixed-use developments. The ordinance was approved by the Council, implementing these zoning changes that will affect future development projects in the city. The amendments to Articles 8-21 and 8-22 will provide updated guidelines for developers seeking to pursue adaptive reuse or flex space projects while eliminating the previously available industrial mixed-use option. ## Amendment to Budgets [timestamp: 00:10] The council considered Ordinance 0667-21, which amends certain budgets of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to reflect current requirements for municipal expenditures and appropriates and re-appropriates funds for FY 2022 Schedule No. 1. Key speakers during the discussion included Plomin and Kay, who presented details about the budget amendments and addressed questions from council members. The ordinance was approved by the council, allowing the government to proceed with the necessary budget adjustments for the 2022 fiscal year. The amendments ensure that municipal expenditures align with current operational requirements and that funds are properly allocated across various government functions. This represents the first scheduled budget amendment for fiscal year 2022, establishing the framework for ongoing financial management throughout the budget cycle. ## Creation of Dept. of Housing Advocacy and Community Development [timestamp: 00:10] The council considered Ordinance 0618-21, which establishes a new Department of Housing Advocacy and Community Development. The ordinance involves transferring existing divisions and positions into the new department structure and amending the city's authorized staffing levels accordingly. Key speakers during the discussion included Plomin and Kay, who presented details about the departmental reorganization and its implications for city operations. The ordinance was approved by the council, formally creating the Department of Housing Advocacy and Community Development as a new municipal department. This restructuring consolidates housing-related functions and community development activities under a single departmental umbrella, potentially improving coordination and service delivery in these areas. The approval includes the transfer of relevant divisions and staff positions to support the new department's operations, along with necessary adjustments to the city's authorized personnel strength to accommodate the organizational changes. ## Creation of Racial Justice and Equality Commission [timestamp: 00:10] The council considered Ordinance 0647-21, which would enact Article L of Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances to establish a new Racial Justice and Equality Commission. Key speakers during the discussion included council members Plomin and Kay, who addressed various aspects of the proposed commission's creation and structure. The ordinance was designed to formally establish the commission within the city's governmental framework, providing it with official status and defined responsibilities related to racial justice and equality initiatives within the community. Following discussion by the council members, Ordinance 0647-21 was approved, officially creating the Racial Justice and Equality Commission as outlined in the proposed legislation. *Note: Limited transcript details were available for this agenda item, preventing a more comprehensive summary of the specific points raised during discussion.* ## Grant Acceptance from Health Dept.
