CITY PLANNER TO WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE DELETING THE 35% BUILDING COVERAGE LIMITATION AND REPLACING IT WITH A FLOATING LOT COVERAGE PROVISION IN THE I-P DISTRICT WITH OTHER LIMITATIONS OF THAT DISTRICT TO REMAIN THE SAME The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mrs. Scalze. Ayes (5) Fahey, Scalze, Collova, LaValle, Blesener. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. This r•esolution appear•s in Resolution Book No. 20, Page 468. Fahey suggested that the Council consider• the rezonings on an area basis similar to the manner• in which the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal. The first area considered was that property abutting Rice Street. Fahey explained the rezoning proposal as presented by the City Planner and the proposal as pr~esented by the Planning Commission. Blesener noted that the Planning Commission r~ecommended that all pr•operty bordering Rice Street be r•ezoned to B-3 with the exception of the Ar•t Fleischhacker property. The Planning Commission recommended that that pr~operty remain I-l. Scalze felt that this pr~esented spot zoning. The Planner noted that the Planning Commission suggested that the Midwest Spring property be rezoned to I-P Distr•ict, r•ather• than B-3 since Midwest Spring has indicated an inter•est in expanding their building. The Planner reported that he recommended B-3 zoning for the Fleischhacker• pr•oper•ty. The Planner pointed out that the current use of the property would be non-confor~ming under either I-1 or• B-3. The Planner felt that development of the property was restricted due to site non-conformities. Scalze pointed out that if the property remained I-1, the current building could be torn down and replaced with a metal building. Fahey suggested that for long-term development of the proper~ty, it should be r•ezoned to B-3. Scalze pointed out that BW might be a good zoning for• that pr~operty, and did not believe that property had to be rezoned B-3 just because it fronts on Rice Str•eet. Scalze pointed out that the only undeveloped pr~operty on Rice Street was the pr~operty owned by the County. page -6-
