MINUTES Planning Commission November 10, 1988 Rezoning from I -1 to PUD The City Planner reported that PUD zoning has been suggested for the I -1 property east of the Ryan Industrial Park since there are poor soil conditions in the area, however, the exact locations of these poor soils are not known. The concern was that rezoning the property to I -P District would be too restrictive, but allowing it to remain I -1 would allow metal buildings. PUD zoning would allow the City to review development proposals on a case -by -case basis. In areas with obviously poor soils, the Council may choose to allow a metal building, but in areas where the soils are good, a block building may be required. The PUD zoning gives the City the opportunity to get high - quality development where it is possible. DeLonais asked why the property west of Knox was rezoned to I -P when that was not the recommendation of the Commission. The Planner pointed out that the Planning Commission said I -1 zoning should remain subject to the lot coverage requirement in the I -P District being changed. There is a proposal before the Commission this evening to eliminate that lot coverage requirement. Bob DeBace reported that he was opposed to any rezoning of his property. DeBace asked the Planner what he would consider DeBace's building to be. The Planner replied that he would have to check his files. DeBace pointed out that his building is constructed on a structural slab because of poor soils. The building is of 2 by 6 construction, wood -frame construction with a metal exterior. The Planner pointed out that the City is not talking about eliminating only pole buildings, but also metal -clad buildings. The Planner pointed out that if a property had poor soils, such as the DeBace property does, under the PUD zoning, the City would approval a metal -sided building on the site. DeBace pointed out that his property is located in Ryan Industrial Park, and he would like his property to remain I -1 just as the remainder of the Ryan Industrial Park is. The Planner pointed out that when he uses the term "Ryan Industrial Park" he is referring to the main bulk of the park. The Planner again explained that the PUD zoning would allow the City to consider development proposals on a case -by -case basis, and where it is not feasible to construct a block building, a metal one would he allowed. DeBace pointed out that there are people making their livings from the businesses being conducted in Ryan Industrial Park. DeBace felt that the City should leave these people alone. Frattalone pointed out that it may be the thinking of the present Council to consider development proposals on a case -by -case basis under the PUD zoning, but Councils change and in the future these property owners would be at the mercey of the Council who may require pilings for block buildings and may say no outdoor storage is allowed.
