(b) Consider/Discuss/Action on recommendation regarding an ordinance amending the
City's comprehensive plan, zoning map, and zoning ordinance and changing the zoning of
certain property, providing for savings, repealing and severability clauses; providing for
an effective date; providing for a penalty clause not to exceed $2,000 or the highest
penalty amount allowed by law, whichever is less; and providing for publication and
caption hereof. The owner(s) Windmill Storage is requesting a Specific Use Permit to
allow for a self contained Ice and Water Facility use on the tract. The property is
generally located south of West White Street and east of Westfield Drive.
Mr. Schwanke noted that the City Council recently approved an ordinance allowing the use
with a Specific Use Permit with special requirements such as setbacks and masonry content.
Adequate parking exists to support the existing uses on the site as well as the proposed use.
This proposal as shown on the attached plans indicate that all landscape in front of the structure
will be removed and replaced with concrete and stripped as a loading zone. The Staff position
is that during construction the landscaping will be adversely impacted, however, the
landscaping should be reinstalled. The walkway currently in front of the stores is 9.5 feet in
width, which should be an adequate space to operate the vending equipment. Mr. Schwanke
also noted that additionally, we (city) do not want parking to occur in the Fire lane and
maneuvering areas, therefore, if the entire area is concrete then parking in the driveways
(maneuvering areas) would be encouraged. As far as the location and land use the Staff is in
support of this request.
After further discussion regarding the SUP request, a motion was made by Chairman Osborn to
table the item. Chairman Osborn requested that a special called meeting be scheduled for
further discussion before a recommendation is made to Council. The Commission agreed to
meet at a Special Call Meeting on Monday, February 15, 2011 at 8:10 p.m. located at 101 N.
