Ms. Szklarski indicated that the zone change request is consistent with the underlying land use map. She further indicated that the zone change would be an extension of the C-l zone one lot further to the north. Planning Commission Representative Arlon Fuchs indicated that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the request. He stated that they felt the C-2 was more compatible with the property and that it would better protect the park area to the north and the residential area across the street. Mr. Fuchs further indicated that a C-1 zone would allow for more intense uses to be located in the area under conditional use permits. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. Mr. Barsody indicated that his main concern is to utilize the building in the best manner possible as there is space in his building that has become vacant. Mr. Fulton Meridan indicated that he is a neighboring resident and that his main concern is that Mr. Barsody may sell the property at some time and other C-l uses would be allowed. Mayor Tralle indicated that the City must look at the possible future uses on the piece of property. e Steve Rohlf reviewed the permitted uses in a C-1 zone and the conditional uses allowed in a C-l zone. Councilmember Dobel indicated that he would not be in favor of the zone change request due to the possibility of the property being sold and the Council having no control on future uses of the property.
