Motor Vehicle, Boat & Mobile Home Sales:As it relates to the islands, have

the staff to consider requiring them to meet the TDU requirements, but allow

them to exercise judgment as to where they place those trees.



Also have the staff to see if we can look at having it fall under

compliance requirements should it ever ceased to exist and be purchased by a

different industry, then require them to meet the island requirements if a

shopping center moved into a vacated car lot or marine lot. (Request of

Councilor Henderson)



Have the staff to put on the list for discussion the possibility of

having some call to compliance that would not hold up the closing of

property. Also, list for discussion, some window of post-closing for

residential Developments, to come into compliance with the already agreed upon

commitments to the TDU or whatever falls within that planting requirement.
