1 1 1 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 1994 Mayor Reinert explained that the only item the Council is addressing at this time is the Rezoning from R-1 to R -1X. We do not have a subdivision request at this time. If we do get a concept plan, then these questions can be addressed. Mr. Demotts also indicated that he felt Holly Drive should be extended through to Centerville Road. He stated that the school buses traveled on that road about 25 years ago. He also questioned when the property was rezoned from Rural to R-1. Mr. Brixius explained that the property south of Holly was rezoned around 1990. The area north of Holly has been Zoned R-1 and in the MUSA since 1987. After some discussion Councilmember Kuether approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 94-1 Rezoning the property south of Birch and West of 12th Avenue (Whitcomb/LaMotte Property) from R-1 to R - 1X. Councilmember Bergeson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. F. SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 93-23, Extended Home Occupations in R -BR Zoning District & Ordinance No. 93-24, Interim Use Ordinance Mr. Brixius advised the Council that these two Ordinances were given their first reading at the December 13, 1993 Council Meeting. He briefly reviewed the staff report and explained that a Conditional Use Permit goes with the land, not the landowner whereas an Interim Use Permit is a relatively new mechanism that allows Cities to put conditions on a time frame. This particular vehicle offers greater flexibility in regulating use permits. He explained that the long term goal for the R -BR Zoning District is redevelopment - we do not want to promote non -conforming uses, therefore, the interim use permit will provide an ending date. Mayor Reinert asked if we could bring other conditional uses back to the Council and make them interim use permits. Mr. Brixius explained that a conditional use is something that is allowed within the Zoning District with certain conditions. After some discussion, Councilmember Elliott made a motion approving Ordinance No. 93-23 and was supported by Councilmember Bergeson. All voted aye. Motion carried. Councilmember Kuether made a motion approving Ordinance No 93-24 and was supported by Councilmember Elliott. All voted aye. Motion carried. 4.
