Request filed by planning division staff to amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, Section 35-28 Land Use Matrix and Section 35-41 Specific Use Standards, with respect to the following: 1. Establishment of asphalt and concrete plants as a conditional use of the RU district. 2. Establishment of heavy machinery and equipment sales, rental, and service as a permitted use of the C-2, M-1, and M-2 districts. 3. Establishment of Landfill as a special exception use of the M-1 district. 4. Establishment of composting site as a permitted use in the M-2 district and a special exception use of the C-2 and M-1 districts. 5. Establishment of specific use standards for composting sites. 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. Asphalt Plants Mr. Barron described that asphalt and concrete plants are often located on quarry sites, which are a conditional use of the RU district, and staff are proposing to establish asphalt/concrete plants as a conditional use of the RU district in order to allow the two uses to exist together within that district. Heavy Equipment Sales Mr. Barron described that a directors determination was conducted in 2007 regarding heavy equipment sales. At that time it was determined that such uses are suitable to be permitted in the C-2, M-1, and M-2 zoning districts. He explained that this amendment would formalize that determination by incorporating it into the Zoning Code. Landfill Mr. Barron described that the existing Allied Waste landfill is zoned M-1, which is a zoning district where such uses are not permitted. In order to fix the nonconforming nature of the existing landfill, and recognizing that such uses are suitable for the M-1 district with proper review through the special exception process, staff are proposing to establish landfills as a special exception use of the M-1 district. Minutes/Jefferson City Planning & Zoning Commission October 8. 2015 Page 5 Composting Sites Composting sites are not listed within the land use matrix of the Zoning Code. In 2010, a Director's Determination was conducted in order to establish which districts the use would be permitted in and what additional standards they would be subject to. This amendment would incorporate the Director's Determination into the Zoning Code. Mr. Lester suggested including composting sites as a Conditional Use in the RU Rural Use zoning district. Ms. Cotten moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code, including the addition of composting sites as a conditional use of the RU district as suggested by Mr. Lester, to the City Council.
