MINUTES City Council September 28, 1988 Proposed requirements will dictate building coverage. Rezonings (Cont.) Fahey suggested that no per•centage for building coverage needed to be included. Blesener stated that he would like to see a percentage included. Scalze agreed. Blesener felt there may be a large development that required ver•y little parking area. If the use of the building changed and additional parking was needed at a later date, this would take up more of the site. Fahey felt that the 25% landscaping requirement and the parking r~equir•ement would address the City's concerns. Fahey again pointed out that there is no building coverage limitation in the I-1 District. Scalze suggested that the City Planner review the matter and come up with a recommendation. Fahey agreed, and suggested that this r•ecommendation be presented to the Planning Commission for their review as well. Bob DeBace reported that he sent a letter to the City outlining his objections to the rezoning of his property from I-1 to IP District. DeBace pointed out that there are poor~ soils on his site which require a lighter-we~ght building. DeBace was also concer~ned that if his pr~operty wer~e rezoned to IP District, he would not be able to expand his building. Fahey pointed out that when the tP Distr•ict was established on the east side of the freeway, there was no existing development that was effected. However, on the west side of the freeway there is existing development on sites with poor soil conditions. Fahey also pointed out that the Council has already declared that the DeBace proper~ty is a part of Ryan Industrial Park and the Planner is proposing that Ryan Industr•ial Park remain zoned I-1. DeBace pointed out that the Planner has proposed the rezoning of some sites on the west side of Country Drive to IP District. Fahey suggested that the Council consider the poor soils and the existing metal buildings in Ryan Industrial Park. The City Planner pointed out that the Code allows non-conforming uses to expand up to 25% of the principle structure with similar~ mater•ials to those used on the principle structure. Blesener asked if there was anyone else present wishing to comment on the rezoning proposal. Dennis 0'Connell, Suburban Auto Body, repor•ted that he did not have enough information to comment at this time, but would comment at either the Planning Commission meeting or the October 26th Council meeting. 0'Connell asked if the rezoning pr•oposal was a result of the review of Country Drive: Page -5-
