Consider adopting an ordinance no.97-204 to allow horses as an interim permitted use in the PF Zoning District Senior Planner Ben Gozola reported the City Council is being asked to discuss an ordinance to allow horses as an interim use in the public facilities zoning district. The ordinance has come forward at the request of the planning Commission and City Council in response to a recent church request to allow the keeping of horses. The planner provided two ordinance options for Council consideration. Both are identical except that one would permit horses as an interim permitted use on all PF zone property. Attorney Filla explained there is a potential problem to permit horses in PF zoned property limited to churches only and not appropriate on all PF zone property. Ben Gozola passed on Pastor Mark Anderson's request that the fee paid for the Conditional Use Application, which was denied, be applied to the Interim Use Permit fee. The Council doesn't have the authority to refund an application fee. It was noted that an Interim Use Permit fee has not been established. MOTION: Council Member Johnson moved to table this item until the next council meeting to provide time to consider whether horses would be appropriate on all PF zoned property, or whether horses should be limited to churches only. Council Member Smith seconded the motion.
