Primary Issues to Consider.
· How has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The new Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Business Park. The proposed zoning
and the Comprehensive Plan designation will be consistent.
· What is the difference between the 1-2 and Business Park zonings?
The biggest difference between the 1-2 district and the business park district is the uses. The
majority of uses allowed in the business park district are office-type uses. In the Business
Park district there is also a limit on the amount of warehousing. The Business Park zoning
also has standards for the type of building that can be constructed.
· Should the site be rezoned to Business Park?
The redevelopment of the North Annex site provides an opportunity to have a quality
building in a highly visible area. The state statute requires that the Comprehensive Plan and
the zoning ordinance be consistent. In the future other properties within the City will be
rezoned so the new Comprehensive Plan designations and the zoning will be consistent.
· What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the reasons for the rezoning. There was no one that appeared at the
public hearing regarding this issue.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the rezoning. By approving of the rezoning, the North Annex site will be
rezoned to Business Park.
2. Deny the rezoning. By denying the rezoning, the North Annex site will not be rezoned. If
the City Council considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support
this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
