Councilmember Shryock stated that she would also support rezoning as she does not believe that <br /> this would become a residential property. She stated that in the long-term perhaps there would <br /> be a purchase of the property by the adjacent property. She stated that the Highway 10 <br /> discussions will be a process over time but believed that the residential area is fairly set, and this <br /> would fit more with the employment district. She agreed that fencing would be appropriate to <br /> ensure that the residents in that area have some buffering. <br /> Acting Mayor LeTourneau agreed with the comments made and stated that he would be <br /> interested in having a discussion about rezoning. He stated that he would also be interested in <br /> compliance with code and wanted to ensure that any issues of noncompliance would be <br /> addressed through this process. <br /> Mr. Anderson stated that his ultimate goal would be to purchase the adjoining property as well. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would support language that requires aesthetic <br /> improvement. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to direct Staff to prepare <br /> an Ordinance for introduction at a future meeting to amend the zoning designation of the Subject <br /> Property from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to E-1 Employment District. While the properties to the <br /> east and north are zoned E-1 Employment, the Subject Property also abuts residentially zoned <br /> parcels to the west and south. <br /> Further discussion: Councilmember Riley stated that he would like clarification as the statement <br /> was made that the County has reflected this property as commercial/industrial and asked if that <br /> classification should match the City zoning. Community Development Director Gladhill <br /> provided additional information on how the County bases their classifications for tax purposes. <br /> He stated that staff attempts to clean up these situations as they arise. Councilmember Riley <br /> stated that this does point out that a property expert did not see this as residential land. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Kuzma, Riley, <br /> Johns, and Shryock. Voting No: None. <br /> 8. MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br /> City Administrator Ulrich announced upcoming meetings and events. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that there is a developer interested in Phase II <br /> of the old municipal center development. The developer would be interested in bringing in 4,000 <br /> cubic yards of fill. He stated that the City's interest would be protected, and the developer is <br /> aware that if the purchase agreement does not go through, they would lose the fill that was <br /> brought to the site. <br /> It was the consensus of the Council to allow the developer to bring the fill to the area. <br /> City Council/November 13,2018 <br /> Page 13 of 14 <br />
