MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 20, 2002 on the property. Under I-I, the property owner would be allowed to lease portions of the property to outdoor storage users. Fahey felt that the I-1 zoning could result in the misuse of outdoor storage and agreed that a PUD zoning would be preferable and provide the Council with more control. The Planner noted that when this site became available, the Council changed the provisions of the B-W Zoning District and eliminated outdoor storage as an allowed use. The property owner has now requested a reintroduction of the outdoor storage use on the back lot. Therefore, the proposal is to rezone that back lot to I-I . The Planner suggested that the I-I zoning with a PUD overay would provide the City with site control. The Planner noted that the PUD overlay provides a mechanism under which the Drywall Supply Addition can be developed with no public street for the back lot as well as multiple accesses and shared driveways. Anderson pointed out that Mr. Johnson could sell the property and the current use could be discontinued for a period of time. Anew property owner would be able to come in and utilize the site for outdoor storage, both his/her own as well as rental outdoor storage. Anderson noted that the City would have no control under that scenario. Anderson suggested that PUD zoning would provide the City with the control it needs and ensure that any outdoor storage use is pertinent to the business occupying the property. The City Planner agreed that under the I-1 zoning with a PUD overlay, if Mr. Johnson discontinued his use for a period of time, his PUD Permit for outdoor storage would lapse and the property would be open to any allowable I-I use. Therefore, the Planner suggested that the Council either amend the current B-W zoning to allow outdoor storage as an accessory use or rezone the property to PUD. The City Administrator noted that any rezoning of the property should be subject to Mr. Johnson entering into a development agreement with the City. That development agreement will address such things as limits on the amount of outdoor storage as well as no rental outdoor storage. Fahey felt that the rezoning the property to PUD ensured the most control for the City. Fahey pointed out that the PUD is being created to fit the Drywall Supply use of the property and the benefit for the City is the increased development of the site.
