Zoning Administrator Frolik <br />responded that usually the ordinance for rezoning isn't brought to the City Council for adoption <br />until the plat is approved. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners Thorud, Holland, Deemer, <br />LaDue, and Terry. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Request to Rezone Certain Property From Industrial to R-1 Urban <br />Residential; Case of Good Value Homes <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik advised that Good Value Homes is in the process of platting <br />Pondview, which consists of approximately 85 acres located east of Ramsey Boulevard and north <br />of Industry Avenue proposed to be platted into 148 single family lots. The property is currently <br />zoned Industrial and, therefore, needs to be rezoned residential. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thorud questioned what is permitted in Industrial zoning, and Ms. Frolik replied <br />truck terminals, transportation terminals, heavy manufacturing, and warehouses are allowed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer noted that the request for Industrial zoning was almost denied when it was <br />applied for a few year ago. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holland inquired as to the zoning depicted on the Comprehensive Plan amendment <br />currently under consideration. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik stated that the north side of C.R. gl 16 is slated with mixed residential uses. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/January 10, 1996 <br /> Page 2 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
