Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes March 15, 2022 Page 4 1 Chair Socha referred to the light industrial section (152.141) under permitted uses – motor 2 vehicle repair – no junked, inoperable or unlicensed vehicles can be kept on the property. She 3 believes this is vague. Mr. Grittman stated “kept” does not have a definition but the intent is 4 they would not be on the property. In other communities, without this type of language 5 vehicles are stored for parts. These types of vehicles would not be allowed on the property. 6 7 Commissioner Kukendall referred to a yard on Stinson between 33rd and 29th that this may 8 apply to. He has seen vehicles there but does not know the status of those vehicles. Chair 9 Socha stated she believes they would be grandfathered in and she is familiar with that 10 property. Commissioner Kukendall suggested adding abandoned to the section. Chair Socha 11 suggested adding the words that are not actively undergoing repairs. 12 13 Commissioner Rude asked about someone restoring a truck or bus and taking their time. Chair 14 Socha stated perhaps adding 24 hours to the verbiage. Mr. Grittman stated the City would not 15 know if it is being worked on or not and the burden would be on the City to prove. 16 Commissioner Rude asked if we want vehicles being worked on outside. Commissioner 17 Morita stated it may be better leave it as it is and adding verbiage would create a loophole. 18 Mr. Grittman suggested it can apply to vehicles parked outside. Chair Socha agreed. 19 Commissioner Rude suggested leaving it as it is because if it isn’t outside we wouldn’t know. 20 The consensus was to leave the wording as it is currently. 21 22 Chair Socha stated she liked the wording regarding EV charging stations. 23 24 Chair Socha closed the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. 25 26 Motion by Commissioner Morita, seconded by Commissioner Hendrickson, to recommend 27 approval of the proposed amendments to the Commercial and Light Industrial zoning districts 28 as reflected in the ordinance redline version. 29 30 Motion carried 7-0. 31 32 IV.STAFF REPORTS. 33 34 Mr. Grittman noted Council acted on the recommendation for the application for a 35 comprehensive plan amendment. The Council expressed appreciation for the Planning 36 Commission’s work. 37 38 Mr. Grittman asked if a planning commissioner is interested in presenting the fence cup to the 39 City Council on April 12, 2022. Mr. Grittman will attend and present. 40 41 Mr. Grittman noted the zoning map will be reviewed by the City Council. 42 43 Commissioner Rude stated properties may need to be torn down to make way for higher 44 density buildings. Chair Socha clarified the Urban Growth Mobile Home Community is 45 currently zoned as single family which is not consistent with the zoning or Comprehensive 46 Plan. The suggestion was it be rezoned in the future.
