The plan/report has yet to be formally acted on by the City. The proposal, for the most part, conforms to the land use plan as recommended by the Committee. Staff is in agreement with a mix of commercial and office uses, but feels uncomfortable with the proposed zoning lines as submitted with this request. Because of this concern, staff is preparing several options to the requested rezoning that will be presented at the public hearing. Staff recognizes the report's recommendation of 12 acres for commercial use, and that is not at issue, but rather the location and size of some of the proposed tracts. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of two acres for "0-2" and five acres for "C-2." Several of the parcels are less than the Ordinance requirements in terms of size. Also, February 26, 1985 Item No. 9 - Continued staff is concerned with the general configuration of the various zoning proposals and how the different sites will work together. The Engineering staff has provided the following comments: 1. Intersection required to be signalized. 2. Right-of-way dedication of 50 feet from centerline for Highway #10. 3. Boundary street improvements required. 4. Access onto Highway #10 must be coordinated and approved by City Engineer. 5. All improvements must conform to Highway #10 Study Committee requirements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the rezoning as proposed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (Note: Refer to Item No. 1 - Z -1716-C for complete minute record.) Jim Lawson of the Planning staff and Lou Schickel, one of the developers, addressed the Planning Commission about the various issues prior to a vote being taken on the request.
