ALL ADJOINING UNADDRESSED PROPERTIES. MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION(S) TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ZONING MAP
AMENDMENTS FOR ALL THE PROPERTIES LISTED ABOVE.
Shai Roos, a consultant from Stantec, gave the commissioners her thoughts on our
current zoning ordinance. She noted that all of our properties south of 121 have similar
uses, although there are officially three different zoning districts there. She called the
area "a gem" in terms of economic productivity. She also called the Mixed Use zoning "a
mismatch" for the character of the area. She ran us through the pros and cons of
several solutions including changing the MX zoning of Burns street to either HC or I,
adding and overlay district, or rezoning the entire area to a PD. In the end her
recommendation is to create a new zoning classification for the entire area and call it a
• business park. She also suggested that we could extend this new zoning district to the
industrial area north of 121.
• Chairman LaPointe suggested that the commission could make a motion to present a
discussion item to City Council for recommending a Business Park designation south of
121 that would allow us to incorporate items and business uses that are currently in
place and promote those moving forward. Mr. Head suggested that we make sure to
include the availability of a retail component in that discussion. Michael Wilson
motioned to adopt the chairman's suggested motion, Erick seconded and all approved.
4. EXECUTIVE SESSION
No executive session was required at this meeting.
5. SET THE DATE AND TIME OF THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED
