PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A. Goetschel Property Rezoning Mr. & Mrs. Walter Goetschel have asked that the City initiate a comp plan amendment and rezoning of their property from RAD to RED and have indicated that the fees involved would create a hardship for them. Section 301.060E of the code stated an amendment to the ordinance can be initiated by the City Council, the Planning Commission, or by petition of affected property owners. The Council agreed that since the hardship was not defined the fees should not be waived. Without any charge to the applicant, the Council suggested the concept plan be brought before the Planning Commission for their review.
