. . . Planning Commission Minutes April 28, 1992 Page 3 Chairman Nadeau closed the public hearing. Commissioner Johnson questioned the junkyard property that was zoned industrial and why this wasn't changed to comply with the underlying land use for this area. Mr. Rohlf explained that it was probably zoned industrial when they first adopted the zoning maps to accommodate the existing uses. Commissioner Johnson indicated that she would like to see if staff could pursue bringing that strip in line with the current land use plan as it doesn't serve any purpose to have that parcel zoned industrial. Mr. Rohlf stated that he would send a message to the Council that the Planning Commission would be in favor of sending a notice of amortization and rezoning. Once again, staff would like direction from the Council because it is a controversial issue and would most likely take legal action. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL DENIAL OF THE ZONE CHANGE FROM R-1B/SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO C-3/HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL BY WAPITI PARK BASED UPON THE RATIONAL AS PUT FORTH IN STAFF'S MEMO DATED 4/20/92 AND BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT THAT IT WOULD CONSTITUTE SPOT ZONING. ALSO TO ENCOURAGE STAFF TO PURSUE COMPLIANCE OF THE JUNKYARD PROPERTY. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 7. Consider Site Plan Review by Linda Norha/Gary Santwire for an Addition to Building and Property Line Adjustment Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, explained that the applicants are requesting to adjust their lot lines to accommodate a 14' x 14' addition to the north side of their existing building in Barrington Square. Mr. Rohlf stated that the property lies within a PUD and requires a site plan review. The City Council heard this request at their 4/20/92 City Council and waived the Council authority to review the site plan and referred the site plan to the Planning Commission for their review and final decision. Mr. Santwire stated that John Oliver has prepared the legal description of the new parcels. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN BY LINDA NORHA WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS: 1. THAT THE 8 FT. SETBACK IS ACCEPTABLE. 2. THAT THE EXTERIOR FINISHES OF WALLS AND THE ROOF OF PROPOSED ADDITION MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING. 3. THAT ANY ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IS SCREENED. 4. THAT THE EXISTING LARGE OAK IS RETAINED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY DISTURBED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IS LANDSCAPED.
