S. Public Hearings
Case No. P12002 — 999 Diamond Ridge; Rezoning from C -O to C-1. Application filed by Max
and Ann Fisher, property owners, to rezone 0.93 acres from C -O Office Commercial to C-1
Neighborhood Commercial. The property is located on the northeast comer of the intersection of
Emerald Lane and Diamond Ridge and is described as Lot 86 of Diamonds Subdivision Section
4, Jefferson City, Missouri. (Gavin Bargate, Consultant)
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that this request is for an existing two story
office building. He stated that a portion of the lower level is vacant and the property owner wishes to
lease the lower level to a Salon/Day Spa tenant. Mr. Barron explained that Salon/Day Spas are
defined by the Zoning Code as a "personal services" use and are not permitted in the C -O zoning
district. He stated that the property owner is proposing a rezoning of the property to C-1 in order to
permit the proposed use. Mr. Barron explained that the property owner spoke to affected neighbors
and received letters of support from the majority of them. He stated that the rezoning will not affect
the office use as office uses are permitted in the C-1 zoning district. Mr. Barron explained that the
Comprehensive Plan Development Plan map currently identifies this property as being intended for
commercial use and the proposed rezoning would be a continuation of the C-1 zoning pattern on
the north side of Emerald Lane.
Mr. Max Fisher, 999 Diamond Ridge, spoke regarding this request and explained that a portion of
the lower level is currently occupied by a law firm and the remaining space will be occupied by a
salon/day spa. Mr. Fisher explained that he contacted both residential and commercial property
owners in the area and explained that the proposed rezoning is to accommodate LaSienne Salon
and Day Spa. He stated that he secured a letter of support from each property owner except for
one person who was not sure whether they opposed or supported the proposed request. Mr. Fisher
explained that he has an interest in the type of tenants that occupy this building not only as a
property owner but because he has his Edward Jones office on the upper level.
No one spoke in opposition to this request.
Correspondence in support of this request was received from the following individuals:
John & Mary Bono, 995 Diamond Ridge
Double Vision Enterprises, 1001 Diamond Ridge & 1004 Diamond Ridge
Louis Phelps, 986 Diamond Ridge
Thomas &Vicky Williams, 991 Diamond Ridge
Alan Spears, 990 Diamond Ridge

Case No. P12003 — Review of Zoning Plan for Proposed Meadows by the Club Annexation
Area. Request filed by City Staff for review and recommendation of the zoning plan for the
proposed Meadows by the Club Annexation Area. The proposed Meadows by the Club
Annexation Area consists of approximately 169 acres and includes the unincorporated portions of
Meadows by the Club Subdivision Sections 2 and 3, property parcels addressed as 4800 Country
Club Drive, 4804 Country Club Drive, 4725 Homer Road, 1049 S. Country Club Drive, 1048 S.
Country Club Drive, and 956 S. Country Club Drive, plus certain selected adjacent road and
highway right-of-way. The Meadows by the Club Annexation Area is proposed as a "voter
approved" annexation area. Maps showing the land use and proposed zoning of the annexation
area are on file at the Department of Planning and Protective Services and are available for
review during normal business hours. Maps may also be viewed on-line at
www.jeffcitymo.org/pps/planning/pzcommission.htmi.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the City Council has directed staff to
prepare a plan of intent for the proposed Meadows by the Club Annexation area. He stated that The
Meadows by the Club Annexation area consists of 169 acres and includes portions of the Meadows
by the Club Subdivision, three existing commercial businesses, a quarry, and two residences
accessed off of South Country Club Drive. Mr. Barron explained that one of the components of a
plan of intent is a zoning plan for the proposed annexation area. He stated that the zoning plan
identifies: (1) single family residential detached as RS -1 and RS -2; (2) single family residential
attached as RD; (3) commercial areas as C-2, which includes the vacant quant' site; and (4)
manufacturing and distribution portions of JC Manufacturing Company as M-1.
Ms. McMillan explained that there was a neighborhood meeting with the property owners in The
Meadows by the Club Subdivision before Christmas. She stated that there was a pretty good
reception from those property owners. Ms. McMillan explained that the main contact has been by
written communication although we did speak with the owners of the quarry.
Mr. Barron explained that each property owner received a letter and a Request for Zoning Map
Change application form. He stated that one request was received from Mr. Ably Hailu, 4218-A
Pinehurst Court, which has been distributed at tonight's meeting. Mr. Barron explained that Mr.
Hailu was contacted to discuss the proposed zoning plan for the area and how it affected his
property. He stated that after this discussion, the property owner concurred that the RD zoning
proposed for his property was appropriate.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Stacey moved and Mr. Lester seconded to recommend approval of the zoning plan for the
Meadows by the Club Annexation Area to the City Council. The motion passed 8-0 with the
following votes:

Minutes/Jefferson City Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4
February 9, 2012
Mr. Hilpert explained that Councilman Schulte has proposed an amendment to Section 32-103
that would transfer sidewalk deferral appeal hearings to the Planning Zoning Commission. He
stated that currently the Director of Planning and Protective Services reviews applications for
deferrals and approves them when they meet the criteria outlined in the code. Mr. Hilpert explained
that if the owner or developer disagrees with the Directors decision, they may file an appeal. He
stated that under the current ordinance, appeals are heard by the City Council. Mr. Hilpert
explained that the Public Works and Planning Committee reviewed the proposed ordinance at their
January 19, 2012 meeting and referred it to the City Council for consideration at their February 6,
2012 meeting.
Ms. Cotten left at 6:00 p.m.
