Explanation
Council Variance Amendment CV01-054A
Ordinance # 0172-02, passed February 25, 2002, granted a Council variance (CV01-054) to property located at 1160 Steelwood Avenue to allow a university athletic team practice facility in the M-2, Manufacturing District. Five conditions were established for the ordinance, including provisions that the facility would not be available for public use, and that no public or intercollegiate athletic competitions would be permitted at the facility. The applicant has determined that due to NCAA rules and regulations imposed upon them, the facility must legally be open to the public for rental. This legislation amends Ordinance #0172-02 by revising the conditions listed in Section 3 in order for the facility to comply with NCAA rules and regulations. All other conditions of Ordinance #0172-02 remain unchanged by this amendment.
