Proposed Industrial Ordinance Revisions <br />Background <br />The City Council at its July 27 meeting, reviewed a draft Light Industrial Zone Ordinance and heard <br />concerns expressed by a property owner in the City's industrial zone regarding the potential impact <br />of the draft ordinance on his ability to use the property. The Council then directed that, rather than <br />move ahead with draft Light Industrial Zone Ordinance, staff should work with the property <br />owners in the industrial zone to remove the most objectionable uses from the City's current Industrial <br />Zoning Code and t^^tain the remainder of the current Code. The current Industrial Zoning District <br />Code, with proposed changes per the Council's direction, is attached along with a memo responding <br />to concerns of the property owners ana oroviding staff’s reasoning behind the changes. <br />Planning Commission Public Hearing <br />A public hearing was held at the August 17 Planning Commission meeting regarding the proposed <br />ordinance revisions. The owners of the three properties in the industrial zone have all indicated <br />concerns regarding the proposed ordinance revisions. The general concern expressed is that they do <br />not want any changes that would limit their potential use of the property. <br />Summary of Revisions <br />Staff has discussed the Zoning Code revisions with the property owners in the industrial area, and <br />has minimized the changes to the Zoning Code based on those discussions. The specific permitted <br />uses proposed to be eliminated from the industrial zone are as follows: <br />1. Bakeries, commercial. <br />Bus, truck and contractors terminals and maintenance yards. <br />Lumber yards and millworks. <br />Processing related to cork products. <br />Engraving. <br />Laundries, commercial. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6.
