THE MOTION PASSED 3-0. 7. Amendment to Zoning Ordinance regarding conditional uses in R-l and R-2 Districts - Public Hearing The City Administrator indicated that over the past several months, the City's Building and Zoning Administrator has had discussions with the owners of Wapiti Park regarding the appropriate uses and activities within the area that they own. The City Administrator further indicated that as a result of those discussions, it has been determined that an amendment to the City's zoning ordinance is most appropriate to deal with the Wapiti Park situation. The City Administrator fur- ther indicated that the Wapiti Park area is currently zoned both floodplain and single family residential, and therefore, because of that situation, the camp- ground use is a very reasonable and logical land use and should be permitted to continue in the area. The City Administrator indicated that a conditional use permit to allow campgrounds in an R,...lb zoned district is suggested, as it would provide sufficient control to the City Council over the campground facilities and its impact on an adjacent residential area. Councilmember Gunkel questioned the possibility of rezoning the area to an A-I zone to allow the campgrounds. The City Administrator indicated that a conditional use was a better way of dealing with the campground possibilities, because if it were zoned A-I, any kind of an agricultural facility could come into the area. The City Administrator indicated that a conditional use could provide more control to the City Council. Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing. No one appeared for or in opposition of the amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Hinkle closed the public hearing. Discussion was carried on regarding a definition in the City's Zoning Ordinance explaining campgrounds and campground facilities. Mr. White, owner of Wapiti Park, indicated that they do have a business outline of Wapiti Park, and the activities of the campground. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that the outline could provide a guideline to the City in the develop- ment of a definition for campgrounds to be included in the City's zoning ordinance.
