Associate Planner Kelm re*wed the September 14, 1993 staff report.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Ken Issacson ;,.presenting the petitioner.
Mr. Issacson stated that he bad met with some of the neighboring property owners and
with Citystaff to see if. there were any alternatives for the site design, and they were A
not able to come up with any alternatives. He said that the regoiding would require the
adjacent property owners to meet a 75 foot setback on their lots, which would make
development difficult for them to conform with the ordinance. He said his design
created 75 foot setbacks from the adjacent sites which he felt should alleviate the need
for the adjacent property owners to meet this ordinance requirement.
Y
Chairman Stulberg introducW Mr. Tom Chesness of 3235 Fembrook Lane.
Mr. Chesfress-stated that he was against this proposal. He said that he bought his
property knowing that them would be industrial on this site. He said the constant light
and the increase in permanent residents on the site wouldbe intrusive.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Fred Peterson of 3315 Fembrook lane.
Mr. Peterson stated that he represented Family Hope Services and this proposed high
density use would negatively impact the value of their site.
MOTION by Chairman Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner Albro to deny the request
for the following reasons: 1) The proposed LA -4 guiding could negatively impact the
development potential of commercial properties on the out and south; and 2) This site
could be reasonably developed under the current CL (Limited Business) guiding.
Commissioner Zylla stated it would be a mistake to reguide this site because the site
was too small for the proposed use and would need to be combined with another site to
make it workable.
