the City Council, but that with anticipated development or redevelopment, will not be acceptable in the future or will be replaced in the future by a permitted or conditional use allowed within the respective district. C. To allow a use which is reflective of anticipated long range change to an area and which is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan provided that said use maintains harmony and compatibility with surrounding uses and is in keeping with the architectural character and design standards of existing uses and development. In the current review of the City's Zoning Ordinance, it has been the P & Z's recommendation to add the permitted uses from the Rural Zoning District to the R -BR District (a golf course/driving range is a permitted use in the Rural Zoning District). This will not be facilitated, however, until later this Fall which does not meet with Mr. Kelley's time schedule. Adding a golf course/driving range to the interim use category in the R -BR Zoning District may, therefore, be appropriate at this time. When final review of the Zoning Ordinance is complete, and if the Council concurs with the current P & Z recommendation in regard to that Ordinance, this use would then become a permitted use within the R -BR District. The Planning and Zoning Board have reviewed this request and ordered a public hearing scheduled for June to review a text amendment which would add golf course/driving range to the interim uses allowed in the R -BR District. They also approved a site plan review for the proposed driving range contingent upon this text amendment and several conditions. SITE PLAN REVIEW The property in question is 20 acres in size and located on the east side of 20th Avenue in the 7300 block. A parking area, club house (garage approximately 24 x 36), portable sanitation, fencing, tee boxes, and netting are proposed for the site. A future mini golf area is also outlined on the plan. EDAB has reviewed this plan and recommended approval of the site plan and proposed text amendment. The proposed use could be considered temporary in nature and should not impede future commercial development of the R -BR Zoning District. EDAB has also concurred with the P & Z recommendation to add the permitted uses in the Rural Zoning District to the R -BR District. Conditions of approval for the site plan review include the following: 1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to any construction. A deposit equal to 1% of construction costs shall be posted to insure completion of site improvements. 2. The driveway and parking area be provided with a dustless surface approved by the City Engineer which includes an adequate turn -around area. 3. Lighting standards be of the type to provide minimum disruption to the adjoining property owners as determined by the
