Councilmember Johns asked if this parcel is part of 6315 and would be subdivided or whether it <br />is a separate piece. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that this is a separate parcel. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would support rezoning. <br />Councilmember Riley agreed that this would seem to be a difficult position for a residential home <br />to be constructed. He asked if there are any additional factors that could be added to help provide <br />transitioning. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that variances would be required and therefore <br />if the direction would be to support rezoning, staff would bring additional details back for further <br />discussion. He noted the overall goal to improve the image of Highway 10 as well. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau stated that one of his thoughts was the desires of the Highway 10 image. <br />He stated that there is a desire and discussion around how Highway 10 is viewed as people drive <br />through the community and what the community wants that corridor to look like as a representation <br />of the City. <br />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 be <br />a purchase of the property by the adjacent property. She stated that the Highway 10 discussions <br />will be a process over time but believed that the residential area is fairly set, and this would fit <br />more with the employment district. She agreed that fencing would be appropriate to ensure that <br />the residents in that area have some buffering. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau agreed with the comments made and stated that he would be interested <br />in having a discussion about rezoning. He stated that he would also be interested in compliance <br />with code and wanted to ensure that any issues of noncompliance would be addressed through this <br />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.
