designated land use back to Single Family Residential. The Council directed staff to place this <br />issue on a Council work session agenda. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook suggested that the area of the existing single-family homes be changed <br />back to Single Family Residential and the other area stay as 'Places to Work'. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that it is good planning to identify the area as 'Places to <br />Work', but there are currently no plans for the area so he did not have a problem with changing <br />the area where the homes are back to Single Family Residential. He noted that the change would <br />require a Comprehensive Plan amendment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired if it is difficult for the property owners to use their property if the <br />land is designated as 'Places to Work'. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik explained that it could create problems with mortgage <br />companies. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook noted that it would also make it almost impossible for someone to sell <br />their home. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak felt that the land use designation should be changed back to Single <br />Family Residential. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired if it was possible to identify the land use as Mixed Use since <br />residential is a permitted use; then in the future they would not need to amend the <br />Comprehensive Plan if the area were to be redeveloped. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired if a Mixed Use designation would have a negative impact on a <br />property owner trying to get a mortgage on their property. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied that she did not think that it would since <br />residential is a permitted use under the Mixed Use designation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated that the problem he could see with the Mixed Use designation is <br />that one property owner may decide to sell their property to a commercial business and then all <br />the other homes would be surrounded by the commercial business. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman felt that they should respect the opinion of the residents that live in <br />the area and change the land use back to Single Family Residential. <br /> <br />Consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to proceed with changing the land use <br />designation back to Single Family Residential for the parcels on the north side of Rivlyn Street. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik explained that the second issue had to do with the <br />Holasek/Hamilton property south of Riverdale and Highway #10, west of the hotel.
