During the public hearing and A~roval of Agenda, this case was t~hled and leted from the agenda until further action Is requested by Mr. Pearson. 1%~vt~ Ftr~l Dr&fi Of l;k:xc~rltft~ ~n(n? MS. Norris stated that after some research, the City Attorney has determined that a oondition of a ~o~ditiorml use permit can be a time limitation; therefore, special use permits and temporary oonditional use permits are not necessary and the recodified zoning ordinance .has been adjusted acx~rdingly. O~issioner Deemer stated that he is still of the opinion that there r~-~s to be a sunset clause in the ordinance regarding non-oonforming uses that have been grandfathered in so that eventually all non-conforming uses are oontrolled by conditional use permits. Co~issioner Hendriksen disagreed on the basis that these psrticular property ~ners have probably invested a great deal of money in designing buildings on their property to acc(~maodate the grandfathered use; if that use is disallowed, the City has in essence devalued the property. General discussion ensued and the C~mmission directed Ms. Norris to research the manner in which the State Statute and other cities address the issue of grandfathered non-oonforming uses; Ms. Norris is to have this information available for the regular Planning and Zoning meeting in March. Discussion ens~-~ regarding fencing and screening requirements and the inoonsistent use of the tern 'opaque' in the ordirmnce. ~e Co~ission a~ended the ordinance draft in the following ways: 1. R-1R Residential District- Fences Fencing other than for solely decorative purposes shall be restricted to side a~d rear yards. Maximtm~ fence heights shall be eight feet. 2. R-1U Residential, R-2U Residential, ~-3U Residential, MR Multiple Residential - Fences Fencing other than for solely deoorative purposes shall be restricted to side and rear yards.
