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. 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 and subsequently changing that particular use to permitted would actually bring the use into conformance with the Code as indicated in B above. Should the Planning & Zoning Board consider this a reasonable request, we would suggest that a public hearing be scheduled for June to review a text amendment. An alternative would be to require Mr. Kelley to wait until the full Ordinance review is complete which would eliminate any golf range use this season. 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), 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. 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. Should the P & Z determined to approve this site plan and subsequently hold a public hearing to review a text amendment to the Zoning Code, we would recommend the following conditions of approval: 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. 3. Lighting standards be of the type to provide minimum disruption to the adjoining property owners as determined by the City. 4 The sanitation facilities be located inside the club house/garage area. If this is not possible, screening be provided to adequately screen the facilities from the street right of way and adjoining properties. This screening should be subject to the review of the City Forester and/or Community Service Officer.
