7. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />7.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Zoning Amendment for Donna Farms <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />City Planner Martin presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the Zoning <br />Map Amendment. <br />Commissioner Bauer noted that the lot to the west is zoned B-2 and asked if that lot is currently <br />developed. <br />City Planner Martin replied that lot is still occupied by the Pearson family home. <br />Commissioner Bauer asked what would be permitted/not permitted in B-2 versus B-3. <br />City Planner Martin replied that B-2 is geared more towards community businesses such as service <br />and retail, and staff believes that B-3 would blend well with whatever is developed in the B-2 <br />zoning. <br />Citizen Input <br />Steve Young, applicant, commented that he does have first right of refusal on property mentioned <br />zoned B-2 that is owned by the Pearson family, noting that the Pearsons actually live a bit further <br />down and not on that specific property. He stated that his hope would then be to rezone that <br />property to B-3 as well. <br />Commissioner Bauer explained that he just wanted to ensure that there would not be a conflict <br />between uses but that becomes a non -issue if Mr. Young plans to purchase that property as well. <br />Commissioner Peters recognized that an RV business will be going onto one of those properties <br />and asked if RVs would be allowed to park on the street. <br />Mr. Young replied that he is unsure. He stated that he paid for one third of the street himself and <br />therefore if there is right-of-way, that should be fine to temporarily park on the street. He noted <br />that the RV business site will be five acres and therefore will have room for parking. He stated <br />that he spoke with every member of the City Council with the exception of one, who were all <br />excited about the two businesses that will be utilizing these sites. He believed that the project <br />would compliment the highway and would provide a larger home for RV World, which has been <br />bought out by the new company. <br />Planning Commission/ April 25, 2024 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />
