Request for Text Amendment Allowing Daycare as CUP 2. CUP Application Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes reported staff was contacted by potential buyers of 2812 St. Anthony Lane South property to inquire whether a daycare would be an allowable use for this property. She stated staff advised Mr. Eric Brever that the proposed use was not listed as an allowable or permitted use with the Industrial zoning district. She indicated Mr. Brever then requested information about the process to change the language of the City Code to allow a daycare as a conditional permitted use. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated staff advised Mr. Brever that he would need to submit a letter to the City requesting the amendment of the Code as outlined in Section 100.04 Amendments and Additions and Section 1665.03 Rezoning and Amendments. She explained the amendment could be scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission in September 2007, provided a letter requesting the amendment is received by the City. She further explained that a recommendation from the Planning Commission on the proposed changes would be submitted to the City Council at its last meeting in September 2007. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes explained that, generally, a minor change to the Zoning Code requires only one reading and a majority of votes to approve text changes. She stated that if the proposed language revisions significantly change all or part of an existing classification of a zoning district, the text amendment would require a four-fifths majority vote of all members of the Council. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated that if the proposed language changes are approved, it would require most uses allowed in the Commercial zoning district to also be a permitted use in the Industrial zoning district with an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP). She reported Mr. Brever informed staff that he would also submit a CUP application for review and consideration at the September Planning Commission meeting. She reported staff received the application and appropriate fees. She referenced the proposed text amendment in the packet. Mr. Bob Foster, 3308 Beldon Drive, addressed the Planning Commission and reported that a purchase agreement for the building was signed under the name Jack and Jill Daycare. He stated Mr. and Mrs. Arnes are interested in relocating the daycare to St. Anthony. He displayed a site map of the proposed building. He explained he wrote the text amendment to make this use allowable with a CUP. He explained how the building would also be used for law offices and the day care center. He stated the daycare center would be a terrific addition to St. Anthony. Commissioner Jenson questioned why it would be a benefit or the right thing to propose a change to the code rather than submit individual requests for individual uses.
