Case No. P12021 — 2239 and 2243 Ridge Road — Establish Zoning for Properties
Requesting Voluntary Annexation. Applications filed by Joshua and Sherry Carlyle, owners of

pursuant to Section 71.012 RSMo and zoning plan of RS -3 Single Family Residential. The
properties are located on the north side of Ridge Road 1000 feet east of South Country Club
Drive and are described as lots 28, 29, and part of lot 30, Longview Subdivision, Cole County,
Missouri.
Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report. He explained that the request is to incorporate
the two subject properties, which are contiguous to the city limits, into the city with a single family
residential zoning designation. Mr. Barron explained the purpose of the request is to be eligible to
connect to the City's sanitary sewer system. He stated that staff proposes to zone the properties
RS -3, as they are adjacent to Covington Gardens Subdivision, which is zoned RS -3 single family
residential, and the lots meet the standards for the RS -3 district.
Mr. Deeken inquired whether the City will take care of snow removal just for these two properties.
Mr. Barron explained that the voluntary annexation is only for the two properties, and that the
County will continue to maintain the street.
Ms. McMillan added that the properties will be served by Jefferson City emergency services, and
will be benefit from the City's rates on other services.

Case No. P12022 — Zoning Text Amendment; Permitted Uses. Request filed by staff to
amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, pertaining to office uses in the M-2 General Industrial
zoning district (Exhibit 35-28 Land Uses Authorized in Zoning Districts). The complete text of the
amendment is available for review at the Department of Planning and Protective Services, 320 E.
McCarty Street, or may be viewed at the Planning Division webpage at www.jeffcitymo.org.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the proposed code amendment would
establish office uses under 100,000 square feet as a permitted use in the M-2 General Industrial
zoning district and offices uses over 100,000 square feet as a special exception use in the M-2
district. He stated that prior to the 2002 zoning code rewrite, offices were a permitted use in the M-2
General Industrial zoning district. Mr. Barron explained that many office uses continue to exist as
non -conforming uses in the industrial areas, and staff occasionally receive inquiries about possible
conversion of existing buildings in the M-2 district to office uses.
Adam Grayson, Martin and Grayson, LLC, 119 E. Atchison Street spoke in favor of this request
and explained that he is here on behalf of the local small businessmen. He stated that the proposed
zoning amendment brings direct benefit to the city in the form of jobs, businesses and income. Mr.
Grayson explained that the city currently has numerous open and unused buildings especially in the
M-2 zoning district that can be utilized. He stated that he has heard from people currently desiring
these locations.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. Jordan seconded to recommend approval of the proposed zoning code
amendment to the City Council. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Dutoi, George, Jordan, Lester, Nunn, Thoenen
