MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />APRIL 13, 2000 <br />City Planner and declaring the following findings of fact relative to the <br />variance: <br />*That the relocation is necessitated as a result of governmental <br />action and requires Precision Tree to relocate to a property that <br />has a different zoning than their existing site; <br />*That the amount of outdoor storage being proposed is not being <br />increased in size from what Precision Tree has at their current <br />location. <br />Motion seconded by Kraemer. <br />Motion carried 7 - 0. <br />REZONING - The Commission reviewed the proposal to rezone certain properties along <br />COUNTY to either Residential Business (RB) or Single-Family Residential (R-1). <br />ROAD C The City Planner presented the Commission with diagrams showing the <br />existing zoning on the property as well as three rezoning options. <br />Knudsen pointed out that the RB zoning would allow either a residential <br />use or a transitional business use and is more restrictive than what would <br />be allowed under the General Business (B-3) zoning. The City Planner <br />indicated that the RB zoning allows a limited office use such as a <br />professional office. The B-3 zoning would allow almost any commercial <br />use except for auto-related uses. <br />Mickey Hentges, 60 Rosewood Drive, expressed concern about the <br />condition of the property at 61 County Road C, and indicated that she <br />would be concerned about a commercial use on this property that would <br />result in her looking out over a parking lot. Hentges reported that there is <br />a garage that is falling down on the property and the City has not <br />addressed the problem. <br />The City Planner pointed out that under the current B-3 zoning, anyone <br />could come in for a building permit to put in a commercial business on <br />this property. Under an RB zoning, a Conditional Use Permit would be <br />required, which would result in Planning Commission review and a Public <br />Hearing at the City Council level. The CUP process also allows for <br />conditions to be placed on the business. <br />Keis stated that he supported Option A as proposed by the Planner, which <br />calls for the rezoning of the three lots east of the coffee shop to RB and the <br />remaining lots keeping their current R-1 zoning. Keis pointed out that the <br />three lots east of the coffee shop are located across from properties zoned <br />12 <br />
