• • AGENDA ITEM 5A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Tanda Gretz P & Z MEETING DATE: January 8, 2003 TOPIC: Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Rezoning to Allow A Tree Service Business & Outdoor Storage, For property located at "908 -1/2" Maple St. ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote BACKGROUND Mr. Charles Pfmgsten has submitted an application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning for property located at 908 -1/2 Maple Street. The property is zoned Rural and guided Low Density, Sewered Residenital under the City's Comprehensive Plan. The property is currently owned by Mr. Bill Flanagan, but Mr. Pfingsten would like to purchase the property as a site to park vehicles and equipment used in his tree care business — "Charlie's Tree Service" (see Exhibit # 8). It was initially Mr. Pfingsten's intention to ask for a Conditional Use Permit, or an amendment to such, based on past uses that took place on the property. However, after a review of past applications, past and present zoning maps, the comprehensive plan, and the present City Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Pfmgsten and staff agreed that it was more appropriate to submit an application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning, since: • The property is guided Low Density, Sewered Residenital • The property is zoned Rural • The City's Zoning Ordinance does not list any permitted or conditional uses for the Rural zone that would fit the use intended by Mr. Pfingsten (storage location for equipment used in a tree care business), thus it seemed pointless to apply for a Conditional Use Permit.
