Public Hearing. Apache Animal Medicine Seeks To Rezone A Portion Of 2801 37th 9 Avenue Ne From L 1 To C. 10 Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing at 8:44 p.m., and requested a report from Staff. As- 11 sistant City Manager Isom reported that Apache Animal Medicine, owner of Apache Animal 12 Clinic, are purchasing some land from the railroad and from Village North LLP, to add to their 13 property. Presently,the railroad property is unzoned and the Village North parcel is zoned L1. 14 The petition is a request to have the above-referenced parcels and their existing property all 15 zoned to C. The placement of the building on the zoning map is incorrect and shows the existing property at L 1. Isom directed the Commission's attention to page 80 of the agenda packets to discuss the error. 18 Isom continued by stating that Staff recommends approval of the petition, and noted City Attor- 19 ney Soth's August 2, 2000 communication to the Planning Commission which sets forth his 20 thoughts regarding the subject. 21 Mr. Ogren, Ken Solie's representative,reviewed the plans in detail with the Commission and 22 noted the specific color plans and any specific design changes since the Concept Review. 23 Bergstrom inquired if there had been a design change for the disposal of dead animals as raised 24 by Mr. Ishner previously in the meeting. Mt. Ogren acknowledged that the disposal would occur 25 at the back of the building and would be shielded from public view. 26 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m. and requested input from the Commis- 27 sioners. 28 Thomas noted his approval of the plan. Isom noted that the ordinance would be drafted in such a 29 way that the rezoning would be contingent upon the approval of the subdivision. 30 Motion by Bergstrom, second by Melsha, to approve the petition for rezoning for Apache Animal 31 Clinic as presented in the agenda packets of August 15, 2000, with the following findings: 92 -- The proposed zoning is consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan; 33 -- The use is consistent with the uses allowed in the current zoning code;
