TO: City Administrator FROM: City Attorney RE: UMB-2 Zoning U~-2 allows all permitted uses of the UMB district except eating establish- ments and drive in banking facilities. The UMB district, pursuant to the zoning chapter is to be a "periphery zone" between the R and UB zones. The UMB-2 district is to be further restrictive in that eating places and drive in banks are to be excluded. A review of the nfinutes indicate that the Council intended the UMB-2 district to be one which permitted uses that would not "generate a lot of traffic". The Council was also concerned that the laneowner be permitted to sell his property without City involvement thus a zoning district instead of non-conforming use was necessary and therefore, the UMB-2 zone for non-conforming uses was established. OhM ay 29, 1979, the Council found that Mr. Aydt's Auto Body business would have "no adverse impact in the area in accordance with the review process of Section 170.015F" and therefore, permitted the auto body business to be expanded and this expansion should be viewed as a non-conforming use expansion only. Because there is no conditional use or non-conforming use restrictions, Mr. Aydt's present business could be sold and converted to just about any use which is similar to an auto body use and the City would have little to say about this. It would ~eem that the bottom line question to be answered by the Council is what uses do you want permitted in this area? UB uses, UMB or residential or some other use combination? You should also provide specific uses you want permitted and what specific uses you want excluded. This is particularly important because the subject property is surrounded by residential property.
