Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 20, 2000 Page 13 • 1 Isom clarified that the owner of the property needed to forward a letter to Staff stating that the 2 Church can act on behalf of the owner. After that process, an application must be submitted for 3 rezoning.and would require three readings before the City Council. Due to the nature of the matter, 4 Isom noted it would not be likely that City Manager would waive the first two readings. 5 Bergstrom acknowledged that the next step would be to work with the property owner and put 6 together an application for rezoning. Isom stated that he would provide the application and it would 7 be up to Mr. Arrigoni to decide how to present the issue. 8 Chair Bergstrom thanked Mr.Arrigoni and the members of the Church for attending the meeting and 9 providing input. 10 5.
