She added that as far as theB-2 zoning, she sees how it could fit in there, but questioned what would happen with other proposals. Commissioner Saunders stated he has a problem with both the variance and the zoning, and he feels it fits better into B-4 or I-1 . He added that while they have done a very nice job, it is not what he looks for in B-2. They need to be placed somewhere, and the issue must be addressed. Mr. Jensen stated he feels they could serve the people of the City best in this proposed location. Mr. Black stated the agenda item is the variance request and he would like the Planning Commission to take action on that at this time. He added he appreciates the time the Planning Commission has taken, and they would like to be able to move on to the Council level with their request. • City Planner Herman advised that in addition to the variance issue, the vacation of the right of way may have impact on the property to the north, as the owner of that property is considering using that as access to his property. Another issue to consider is the PUD designation with one resi- dential unit, and whether that is really the intent of a mixed use PUD. She also pointed out that there may be another mii'ii storage proposal that was turned down due to the district' s zoning and a precedent may have been set.
