MINUTES Planning Commission June 11, 1987 Day Care Centers (Cont.) Rezoning St. John's Credit Union Motion seconded by Mrs. Timmons. Motion carried 5 - 0. Mr. Bob DeBace appeared before the Commission representing St. John's Credit Union in their request for rezoning of their property from B -3 to RB. DeBace explained that the credit union would like to put an addition on to their building, and since it is considered non- conforming under its current zoning, would like to request the rezoning to RB. DeBace also explained the problems involved with the expansion in that there are residential renters in the bottom portion of the building who have a two -year lease. The Building Inspector has suggested that during the expansion, these renters vacate the premises. However, the credit union would like them to remain as they like the idea of having someone on the premises during evening hours. Timmons asked what the expansion would look like. DeBace explained that the exterior would match the existing building, however, the interior of the building would be remodeled. Timmons asked if the number of employees would be increased. DeBace replied that there are no plans to increase employees at this time, however, did not know what would happen in the future. Timmons asked who owns the parking lot in front of the credit union. DeBace replied that the City owns the parking lot. The City Planner reported that RB zoning is appropriate for the site and the rezoning would comply with the City's Comprehensive Plan. However, there are a number of site problems and a conditional use permit and variances would be required for the expansion. Timmons asked if a precedent would be set in this instance. The Planner reported that he has not evaluated the appropriateness of the variances that would be required, but pointed out that the property is a lot of record and some of the variances could be appropriate. A site plan for the expansion will be necessary to evaluate variances, parking, etc. The Planner explained that if the Commission approves the rezoning, the applicant will have to come in and apply for a conditional use permit and variances, and then an evaluation of the proposal will be made. Timmons pointed out that the issue before the Commission tonight is that of the rezoning. Timmons felt the rezoning was appropriate as was pointed out by the Planner. However, since a number of items have to be reviewed, an approval of a rezoning should not be an indication that the expansion proposal will be approved. Page 2
