Planning & Zoning Board <br />September 14, 2011 <br />Page 5 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />business that services an agricultural use does not mean t hat it is an agricultural use of the <br />property . The property owner raised the point that agricu lture today is not what <br />agriculture used to be. <br /> <br />Board member comments included the following: <br /> <br />• There is a fine line between th is type of use and the allowable uses for this zone. <br />It seems that it would be very easy for the current property owner to comp ly with the <br />existing conditions of an allowable use if they chose to . <br /> <br />• A trucking activity should not be considered a rural activity. <br /> <br />• A trucking business belongs in the business zone, not the rural zone , regardless of <br />what product is being hauled . <br /> <br />• There are not many properties in the industrial zone that are large enough for this type <br />of business.

Staff reiterated that i t is necessary for <br />the city to consider impacts of uses and conflict s with neighboring properties in an area. <br /> <br />Mr. Smyser explained that i f the city allows a trucking business as a use , they cannot be <br />product specific with w hat is being hauled. The city w ill need to determine if a trucking <br />business should or should not be allowed throughout the rural zone. <br /> <br />C.
