This evolution will <br /> continue to be triggered by changes in Highway 10 access and the commuter rail station. <br /> Planning Commission Summary <br /> The Planning Commission reviewed a matrix comparing the existing zoning/uses in the FAST area with <br /> the proposed FAST sub-zone zoning/uses that would eventually reflect new zoning districts. It clarified <br /> that this action would create a new zoning district. The rezoning public hearing will occur at a later date, <br /> likely in December. <br /> The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed zoning district over three meetings since October and <br /> held a public open house. Comments received expressed concern about"zoning people off of their <br /> property." As a result, the Planning Commission directed to allow permitted uses for auto,RV, marine, <br /> and truck sales in the Pinnacle. Hinge, and East Elk River Gateway sub-zones. The Planning <br /> Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment. <br /> Steve Rohlf, representing Scott Powell,provided a letter for record regarding Lot 4,Block 1,Mississippi <br /> Ridge Second Addition indicating they were pleased to see the new Kia dealership property was included <br /> as a conditional use for automotive sales and services. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Public Notice in Star News <br /> P a w E R E U 6 Y <br /> NaA f RE] <br />
