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 />
