SUMMARY:
The Gateway Review Board shall have the authority and duty to approve or disapprove plans for buildings to be erected, renovated or razed which are located, or are to be located, within the Gateway Redevelopment District under the conditions and safeguards provided in subsection 12-12-2 (A)(2) of the city code and to grant zoning variances from the land development regulations of the Gateway Redevelopment District, under the conditions and safeguards provided in subsection 12-12-2(A)(2) of the city code. Review by the Gateway Review Board of applications for zoning variances shall be as provided for under Section 12-13-4 (K) of the city code.
Mr. W. Brett Janson has been nominated for appointment to fill one of the vacancies for an individual representing the architectural, architectural landscape, engineering or building contracting profession. Mr. Janson is an insurance risk advisor specializing in working with clients in the building construction, architecture, and engineering industry, with building construction as his career emphasis. In the past, individuals filling these positions have been architects or contractors.
An opinion from the City Attorney was requested to be sure Mr. Jansen’s profession met the requirements of the position. The City Attorney has opined that no specific qualification criteria is provided under Sec. 12-13-4(A) for a member to “represent” the building contract profession. Therefore, City Council is required to make its own determination with regard to the nominee.
The following have been nominated:
