Kebschuil reviewed Administration's supportive information included in the packet,
noting:
• The application met the requirements of the code.

standards for a Limited Commercial zone, to be used as a mixed use zone, were
prepared and subsequently approved by the city council.
• Landscape requirements were updated for use in relation to a Limited
Commercial zone.
• The proposed rezone would complement the area and would be what the
Limited Commercial zone was provided to do.
• Currently, up to six triplexes could be placed on the property with no
landscaping requirements.
• A conditional use permit would restrict expansion of the use of the
property or future sale of the property.
• If the rezone was referred back to the Planning 8r, Zoning Commission to
survey property owners along the corridor with regard to rezoning additional property
to Limited Commercial, the process would take approximately three months.

rezone and noted:

of the facility at that property.

issue and collected additional information, Wortham answered yes.

• Referring to the 2006 ordinance submitted as additional information,
believed it was a precedent of how to vote, disagreed with administration, and,
believed would be arbitrary zoning.

Commission for additional process; did not think the lot should be destined for
residences; and, the area was already a mixed use.
• Belief the Wortham plan would be a buffer for the residential area; does
not like spot zoning; suggested a conditional use permit could be developed to be
favorable to both groups; and, would be in favor of tabling the issue for further
process.
• Stated support of the rezone as a realistic way for developing property
along the highway; there were no new homes built in the area for many years; belief
the process should include informing the neighborhood about the Limited Commercial
Zone and collecting input from other property owners along the highway; and, table
the ordinance and within three months, bring back a substitute to tie in other
interested properties.
• Stated support of the rezone; the property would be better used zoned
Limited Commercial; and, supported tabling of the ordinance for further processing.
• Stated support of tabling the ordinance for further process.
• Stated support of the rezone and felt it would be unfair to draw Dr.
Wortham into litigation; would support directing administration to gather additional
