MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — SINGLE - FAMILY AND DWELLING UNIT ADJOURN Knudsen indicated that there are a lot of variables for the Council to consider in whether or not the property should be sold. However, agreed if it is sold, the use should be R -1. Knudsen indicated he felt the gristmill house proposal was a good fit in a residential environment. Knudsen recommended that should the Council decision be to sell the Noel Drive property, the use of that property should be Single - Family Residential (R -1). Motion seconded by Roycraft. Motion carried 6 — 1. Duray voted against. Duray indicated that his position was that the City should retain the property for possible other uses such as additional park usage. Duray also felt that if the City sells the property, it should be offered on the open market to the highest bidder and felt this was an issue the City Attorney should look into. The City Planner reviewed the proposal to amend the Zoning Code relative to the definitions of "Dwelling Unit" and "Dwelling-Single Family ". The Planner explained that the City has had a few situations where single - family homes have been adapted for occupancy by more than one family.

Gatzke recommended approval of an amendment to the Zoning Code related to housing occupancy standards by clarifying the definitions of "Dwelling Unit" and "Dwelling — Single Family Motion seconded by Duray.
