TO:                                           Honorable Mayor & Members of the North Port Commission
 
FROM:                      Heather Faust, MMC, City Clerk
 
TITLE:                     Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Approval of the November 6, 2023 Commission Workshop Meeting Minutes.
 
Recommended Action
 
Approval of the November 6, 2023 Commission Workshop Meeting Minutes with recommended changes.
 
Background Information
 
The draft minutes were submitted for Commission review on November 8, 2023. Commissioner McDowell provided suggested changes on November 20, 2023 regarding:
 
On page 3 -   “… Commission questions and discussion continued regarding places of assembly large versus small scale determination utilizing transportation trips versus square footage, essential services - major special exception versus prohibited in Activity Center 7, essential services - major exclusion of police and fire stations versus essential services - minor inclusion of police and fire substations … “ 
 
Clarity - The official Use name is “Essential Service - Major” but the way it is written, it appears there is a major special exception or major exclusion.    The official use name is “Essential Service - Minor”, but the way it written it appears there is a minor inclusion of police and fire substations.  
  
Maybe capitalizing the terms of art ““Essential Service - Major”, “Essential Service - Minor” and “Special Exception” will bring clarity.
