New Business/Public Hearings Case No. P15011 — 2301 and 2305 E. McCarty Street, Rezoning from C-2 to RA -1 and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Request filed by Price Development Company LLC, property owner, John Price, authorized representative, to rezone 0.49 acres from C-2 General Commercial to RA -1 Multi -family Residential and an amendment to the development plan map of the Comprehensive Plan to show the property as High Density Residential. The property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of E. McCarty Street and Doehla Drive and is described as lots 18 and 19 of Doehlas Subdivision, Jefferson City, Missouri. Mr. Barron stated that the property owner of 2301 and 2305 E McCarty Street is requesting to have the property rezoned from C-2 to RA -1. These tracts have been vacant and the owner feels there is some interest if they were zoned multi -family. An adjacent property, which is zoned C-2 but developed with a residential four-plex, also needs to be rezoned. Staff have spoken with the adjacent owner, who is receptive to having their property put forward for a staff initiated rezoning. In order to bring the two rezoning proposals together on the same timeline, staff are requesting that the Planning and Zoning Commission continue this case to the October meeting so the notification procedures for the adjacent property can be conducted. Richard Lueckenhoff, who lives at 307 Hutton Ln, asked to speak. Mr. Lueckenhoff stated he is an interested developer for this area and would like to see the process expedited. A brief discussion took place. Mr. Barron stated that he has already discussed having a continuance with the owner and the owner was fine with that. Mr. Nunn stated that based on the staff presentation as well as the analysis that was presented in their packet he moved to continue the case to the next meeting and Mr. George seconded. The motion passed 7-0 with the following votes: Aye: Deeken, George, Lester, Marcus, Nunn, Yarnell, Wiseman Case No. P15012 — 816, 818 and 820 Southwest Boulevard, Rezoning from RA -2 to C-2. Request filed by GRD Properties LLC, property owner, to rezone 0.62 acres from RA -2 Multi- family Residential to C-2 General Commercial. The properties are located on the west side of Southwest Boulevard 200 feet north of Glenwood Drive and are described as lot 1 and part of lot 2 of Westwood Subdivision Part 1, Jefferson City, Missouri (A Civil Group, Consultant) Mr. Barron introduced the case and stated that the property is owned by the Joe Machens Capital City Ford dealership, who also owns the properties on both sides of Southwest Boulevard just north of this request. He explained that 816, 818 and 820 Southwest Boulevard are currently zoned RA -2 and, despite their residential zoning, a vehicle sales business has been operating from these two properties for many years. A recent title survey for the Joe Machens dealership conducted by the property owner identified the conflict between the residential zoning and vehicle sales use. In order to eliminate the land use/zoning conflict, the property owner is requesting a rezoning of these two properties to C-2. Mr. Barron stated that this request is supported by the Comprehensive Plan Development Plan Map, which shows the properties as being intended for commercial development. Minutes/Jefferson City Planning & Zoning Commission September 10, 2015 Page 3 Jay Gebhardt, civil engineer for A Civil Group, Columbia, MO represented the Joe Machens properties and answered a few questions. Mr. Gebhardt stated that they mailed notices to surrounding property owners and held a neighborhood meeting at the dealership, but that no surrounding property owners showed up to attend. No one spoke in opposition to the request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Barron gave the staff report and recommended approval of the requested rezoning. The property is located on a minor arterial street and is adjacent to a large commercial use. The development plan map of the Comprehensive Plan supports the requested commercial zoning. Mr. Nunn moved for approval of the request to rezone the property from RA -2 Multi -Family Residential to C-2 General Commercial and was seconded by Mr. Lester. The motion passed 7-0 with the following votes: Aye: Deeken, George, Lester, Marcus, Nunn, Yarnell, Wiseman Case No. P15013 — Zoning Code Text Amendment. Request fled by Scott Bradshaw, private citizen, to amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, Section 35-28 Land Use Matrix, to establish motor vehicle sales as a permitted use of the M-2 General Industrial zoning district. 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 and Zoning Commission webpage at: www.jeffersoncitymo.gov. Mr. Barron stated that this is a request by a citizen to amend the zoning code so that it will permit vehicle sales in a M-2 General Industrial zoning district. The applicant has identified a property that is zoned M-2 General Industrial, the old Popp's Lawn and Garden site on Industrial Drive, where he would like to locate a vehicle sales business, however, the owner of the property does not want to rezone it. Vehicle sales are currently permitted in the M-1 Light Industrial district and the C-2 General Commercial district, and prohibited in all other districts. The applicant, Scott Bradshaw, 1730 Hwy 179, stated that even though the owner of the property did not wish to rezone it, he was happy to have him on the property in vehicle sales. No one spoke in opposition to the request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Barron stated that staff recommends approval of the requested zoning code amendment. The outdoor nature of motor vehicle sales would have little conflict with other uses permitted in the M-2 district and vehicle sales is already permitted in the M-1 Light Industrial district. Ms. Wiseman moved to approve the request to amend the Zoning Code to establish motor vehicle sales as a permitted use in the M-2 district and was seconded by Mr. Yarnell. The motion passed 7-0 with the following votes: Aye: Deeken, George, Lester, Marcus, Nunn, Yarnell, Wiseman 7. Other Business A. Scheduled Reports Environmental Quality Commission. Mr. Lester stated that the Commission did not meet last month so he has no report. B. New Commission Alternate Introduced. Blake Marcus was introduced as a new alternate for the Planning and Zoning Commission. 8. Adjourn.
