• COUNCIL MINUTES ■ Consider FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 1-5 - 97, Rezone Gethsemane United Methodist Church Property and Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Mr. Brixius reviewed the staff report with regard to the rezoning, Comprehensive Plan, compatibility, public services, and performance standards and advised decisions regarding land use appropriateness are considered matters of City policy to be determined by City officials. If the Council finds the proposed land use to be acceptable, staff would recommend approval of the rezoning request. This rezoning approval should, however, be made contingent upon the City amending its Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Plan) such that low density residential use is guided upon the subject site. If considered for approval, Mr. Brixius recommended the following conditions: 1. The subdivision include the formal dedication of the Stage coach Trail right -of -way with the understanding that Parcels B and C will be financially responsible for the future construction of the street. 2. The City Engineer provide comment and recommendation in regard to utility issues. 3. Any other comments of City staff. Council Member Bergeson asked why the Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation is for approval but staffs recommendation is open. Mr. Brixius noted the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Board and explained any land use change is ultimately a Council determination. EXHIBIT #4 MAY 27, 1997 Council Member Bergeson noted sometimes churches grow and need more area for parking. He asked if this is an adequate piece of property for future needs. Mr. Brixius stated this is difficult to estimate but Parcel A, as shown, appears to have adequate room and setback to accommodate an expansion with some parking. He noted with utilities in the immediate vicinity, land becomes available for expansion. Mr. Brixius stated it appears the site serves the needs of the church and there is area for expansion. Council Member Bergeson asked if the entire parcel is tax exempt and when this would change in status. Mr. Hawkins advised this occurs when title is changed from the church. Council Member Lyden moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 15 - 97, Rezone, Gethsemane United Methodist Church property, and to approve a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Land Use Plan) such that low density residential use is guided upon the subject site (as shown on draft town Center Land Use Plan) subject to three conditions as presented.
