MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 26, 1996 property, and do not want any additional restrictions on it. Fasciana did not want to see a gas station developed on this site, but did not want to be limited to a strip mall either. Morelan asked if the proposed land use is consistent with the existing zoning. The Planner replied that it was. The Planner indicated that the B-3 zoning was very broad and allows a variety of office and retail uses. Fahey asked if the next step would be to rezone properties once the Comprehensive Plan update is adopted. The Planner replied that adoption of the Comp Plan does not require the City rezone properties. The Planner indicated the most appropriate zoning for neighborhood commercial is B-3. Joan Fasciana stated that the Comp Plan update indicates B-2 Zoning would be preferred for their property. Morelan replied that B-2 is auto-related commercial, and it was not the Council's intention to propose auto- related commercial for the Little Canada Road/Jackson Street area. The Planner indicated that the Comp Plan talks about generalized land uses in the City, and neighborhood commercial is identified for this area. B-3 Zoning is the most compatible with neighborhood commercial uses. Fahey stated that any actions taken by the Council this evening will not change the B-3 Zoning of the property. Fahey felt, however, in the long-term a commercial PUD zoning would be the most practical given the neighboring residential property. Joan Fasciana felt the land use map was incorrect since it showed the property as neighborhood commercial. Fasciana felt neighborhood commercial was different from the B-3 Zoning of the property. Fasciana pointed out that Little Canada Road is a main thoroughfare in the City, and uses should be dependent on traffic volummes. Scalze stated that regional commercial means customers come from large areas. Cub and Target stores are 5
