Zone Change Request by Faith Fellowship Church/P.H. At this time Chairman Kimball read the procedures for public hearings. Steve Bjork. Zoning Assistant explained that Faith Fellowship Church is requesting a zone change from PUD to C-3/Highway Commercial for property that they own. Mr. Bjork explained that the City can only consider a zone change for a piece of property if one of three standards are met. These standards are: 1. Has there been an unanticipated change that has occurred in the City that would necessiate the zone change? 2. Was there an error in zoning this parcel? 3. Is the request consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? Mr. Bjork explained that the property in question appears to meet Item #2 in that the property was inadvertently zoned as a PUD when the Barrington Place PUD was developed. The property in question also is at the intersection of three land use classifications. Therefore, the zone change request may be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Bjork also explained the pros and cons of different zoning classifications that could be permitted for this parcel of land. Stephen Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator explained that the zone change request is legitimate. The property was inadvertently zoned as a PUD. Therefore. this property should be given a different zoning classification. Mr. Rohlf explained that great care should be given in considering a proper zoning classification for this property.
