Mayor and City Council February 16, 1984 Page Two of Three Staff then formulated a listing of all parcels the Planning Commission recommended for rezonings. This list is attached for your review. You should have already received a map which shows which parcels the Planning Commission is recommending for rezoning and to what zone they are being recommended. On this listing, please note column one which identifies the type of notice staff is recommending for that partic- ular rezoning. There are three different types (Letters A, B and C) of notices which would be sent to the affected property owners. The different types are as follows: Notice A - Parcels which are identified as receiving a notice type A are those which staff, along with the City Attorney, considered being non -controversial. These parcels include those that are being rezoned to bring the zoning into confor- mance with the use which presently exists on the property or to bring the zoning into conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Many parcels included in this category are those that were rezoned by motion of the City Council but no ordinance was ever drafted and adopted which officially rezoned it. In other words, the rezoning was not completed at the time of develop- ment approval. On parcels in this category that are being recommended for rezoning where the new zone would make it inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commis- O sion is recommending a revision be made to the Comprehensive Plan. No notice would be sent to the property owner, only publication of the hearing date and time in the official news- paper. Notice B - Parcels which were identified as receiving notice type B are those which staff, along with Attorney Meyers, considered being controversial. The rezoning may create an inconsistency with the Comprehensive Plan (in this case the Comprehensive Plan should be amended) or the rezoning may make the existing use non -conforming. The type of public hearing notice that would be sent would be a notice to the affected property owner in addition to all property owners within 350 feet. A majority of the controversial rezonings would make the existing use non -conforming. Should the building he destroyed, the same use would not be allowed to be reinstated. Notice C - This notice type would consist of those parcels which will be rezoned to its existing use but, because the rezoning would be considered a "down zoning" staff is recom- mending that a letter be sent to these affected property owners on which the owners wuuid be asked if they object or do not object to the proposed rezoning. If they object, the rezoning automatically falls under and is handled as a controversial rezoning. If they do not object, it would be handled as a non -controversial rezoning. in some cases, the Comprehensive Plan may be amended as a result of rezonings in this notice type category.
