Public Hearing <br /> Vice Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 9:18 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the intent of this <br /> case was to amend a previous approval for an existing use. There are, however, additional <br /> outcomes of the decision beyond the current, approved Conditional Use Permit for the property. <br /> Staff reviewed the request further and requested feedback from the Commission on how to <br /> proceed. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Jackie Abendroth, 15810 Sodium Street, stated she has enjoyed the daycare at this location. She <br /> understood the secretarial business had moved on. She expressed concern with how new <br /> businesses moving onto this site would impact her property value. <br /> Lowell Parsons, 15813 Nowthen Boulevard, explained he lived just north of the daycare. His <br /> main concern was with the high speed and level of traffic along Nowthen Boulevard. He did not <br /> want to see a gas station and convenience store at this corner as it would bring too much traffic <br /> into this area. He reiterated that the parcel was zoned Residential. <br /> Elaine Parsons, 15813 Nowthen Boulevard, did not want to see any commercial uses brought to <br /> this property as it was directly surrounded by a quiet rural residential neighborhood. She also did <br /> not want to see any expansion to the existing building. <br /> Vice Chairperson Bauer explained that the original thought was to rezone this property B-1, <br /> which would allow additional types of businesses. However, staff has reconsidered this and was <br /> now open to exploring the creation of a new zoning district, which could be more restrictive in <br /> which businesses could locate on this parcel. He questioned if the residents present supported <br /> the more restrictive approach. <br /> The members in the audience nodded in approval. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill appreciated the input from the residents and <br /> suggested that the property be rezoned for professional office space and/or daycare uses. He <br /> explained that the Commission could table action on this item and allow staff time to amend the <br /> proposed zoning for this parcel. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Brauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Planning Commission/October 15,2015 <br /> Page 12 of 17 <br />
