MINUTES Planning Commission October 13, 1988 Multi- Rezonings (Cont.) use to which they are putting the property. The Planner reported that Levitz is in favor of the rezoning, however, he has not discussed the matter with Knox or Connco. Davison asked if metal buildings could be built in a BW zone. The City Planner reported that there are restrictions on metal buildings in BW. Davison felt that BW was appropriate for the Knox, Levitz and Connco properties since that zoning more accurately reflects the use of the land. Davison suggested that the Rauenhorst First Addition be left I -1 until the City changes the building coverage limitation in the I -P District. DeLonais asked what the objection would be to leaving the Knox or Levitz property zoned as I -1. The Planner reported that there is a limitation on the amount of retail in the I -1 District, and Knox and Levitz are at the maximum. The BW District allows more retail and better accommodates the uses of Knox and Levitz. The Planner pointed out that under I -1 zoning Knox and Levitz would not be allowed to expand their retail operations. DeLonais recommended that the property north of the North Star Estates Trailer Court and south of the railroad remain I -1. Motion seconded by Davison. Motion carried 5 - 0. Mr. Davison recommended that the Knox, Levitz and Connco properties be rezoned to Business Warehousing as recommended by the City Planner since that zone more accurately reflects the businesses established there and would allow these businesses to grow, which would not be allowed under current zoning. Motion seconded by Costa. Motion carried 5 - 0. Davison recommended that the Rauenhorst First Addition property not be rezoned to I -P at this time until the City addresses the concern of the businesses established on that property about the 35% building coverage limitation, and recommends that the property remain zoned I -1. Motion seconded by Costa. Motion carried 5 - 0. Page 4
