Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( #7) #2314 JOHN BESSESEN, 2505 -2507 KELLY AVENUE - ZONING <br />AMENDING AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 7:49 -9:00 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Van Zomeren reported the applicant is requesting a zoning amendment to revise the <br />duplex credit district. If that approval is received, a conditional use permit would be <br />• required. As the ordinance is currently written, a conditional use permit would only be <br />possible if the zoning lot is adjacent to an industrial or commercial zone and built within <br />200' of that zone. <br />• <br />Van Zomeren showed the location of the Highway 12 industrial area and the residential <br />area within 200' that is not separated by a roadway. The area eligible is located to the <br />south of the highway. Staff has historically required that adjacent lot lines be contiguous. <br />If a more liberal viewpoint was taken and the road was not considered, that area could <br />possibly cross the road. The other location is in Navarre. Van Zomeren displayed where <br />the subject lot and commercial zoning is located. <br />Van Zomeren said the terminology in the code needs clarification. <br />The existing location where the fire station was located is not eligible for duplex credit as <br />it is outside the commercial zone and the 200' limitation. <br />Van Zomeren said she and Gaffron discussed modifying the duplex credit. The B -3 <br />zoning is the only zoning that could be extended to capture that lot and eliminate the 200' <br />requirement. The 200' eligibility could be changed to reflect 400' from the B -3 district. <br />The B -1 and B -6 zoning districts would be eliminated for duplex credit. <br />10 <br />
