MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 9, 1999 Montour pointed out that the difference is that Wall's property is zoned PUD due to its location near the intersection of Country Drive and Ryan Drive. Montour noted that the City's vision was to create an entrance -area into Ryan Industrial Park. Mr. Barraclough recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of equipment as an accessory use for 221, 223, and 225 Ryan Drive subject to compliance with the recommendations of the Zoning Administrator as outlined in her report dated August 26, 1999. Motion seconded by Duray. Motion carried 5 — 0. Montour suggested that perhaps the situation has changed since 1989 when this property was zoned PUD and another look should be taken at the zoning. Knudsen asked if the PUD zoning was as valid today as it was in 1989. The City Planner stated that the Council might feel the PUD zoning for the entranceway into Ryan Industrial Park is still valid. However, the Planning Commission has the prerogative of making a recommendation to the Council on this issue. Keis stated that he would like to study the issue a little more before taking a position on it. It was pointed out that the Fra -Dor property on the intersection of Country Drive and Ryan Drive has recently been rezoned to I -2. Therefore, perhaps there is a reason to rezone the north side of Ryan Drive to I -1 to be consistent with the rest of the park. However, there is also the issue of the additional control that the PUD District provides. Knudsen asked if the PUD zoning created a hardship in any way for the property owners. The Zoning Administrator indicated that there are two major issues with the PUD zoning. First, the auto - related uses were established on the Wall property prior to the rezoning 1989. Therefore, they are grandfathered in, and would not be allowed to expand under the PUD zoning. However, the PUD zoning does give Mr. Wall some flexibility if he sells his property since a commercial business could be established on the site. Page 19
