here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
the
application
and
we
shall
silence
evening.
We
have
reviewed
the
staff
report
in
detail
and
the
suggested
approval
conditions
which
are
consistent
with
several
other
projects.
We've
done
in
the
last
couple
of
years
and
found
all
those
conditions
to
be
acceptable
and
we're
happy
to
oblige
to
them
and
move
forward
on.

a

to
City

that
this
be
accepted
and
specifically
using
the
conditions
of
approval
at
a
point
that

Okay.

A
F
Recap
the
process
up
to
this
point
in
March
12th
at
a
city
council
work
session
staff
was
requested
to
look
into
what
a
public
process
would
potentially
be
to
examine
rezoning
for
both
areas:
west
and
east,
of
the
current
downtown
businesses,
own
district
staff
brought
a
plan
back
at
the
May
14th
city
council
work
session
regarding
some
public
meetings
and
then
to
kind
of
come
back
to
the
the
City
Council.
After
that
we
updated
the
Planning
Commission
on
that
process.
F
We
talked
about
that
at
a
July
10th
Planning
Commission
work
session,
at
which
point
the
Commission
decided
to
I'm.
Sorry.
At
that
point
we
came
back
at
at
August
14th
work
session
for
further
discussion.
At
that
point,
the
Commission
decided
to
hold
a
general
public
hearing
and
give
staff
direction
based
on
that
public
hearing
at
the
September
11th
regular
meeting
of
the
Planning
Commission.
F
At
that
time,
the
Planning
Commission
directed
staff
to
draft
and
notice
text
amendments
to
the
limited
business
zone
district
which
were
approved
by
council
at
yesterday's
meeting
and
those
would
be
to
remove
both
liquor,
store
and
convenience
store
uses
from
the
limited
businesses
own
district
and
staff
was
read.
Written
staff
was
directed
to
notice
these
properties
for
public
hearing,
which
is
at
this
evenings
meeting.
F
Just
a
recap
of
the
alb
and
LDL
LP
requirements.
Lp
allows
residential
uses
and
for
mostly
small
offices,
allow
some
other
things
by
special
exception,
but
those
are
predominantly
would
have
focus
on
the
lP&L,
be
both
limited,
professional
and
limited
business,
which
is
the
proposed
zone
to
search
both
limit
building
size
to
20%
of
lot
area,
which
maxes
out
at
5000
square
feet
at
a
little
limits
off
street
parking
to
side
and
rear
yards
structures
must
be
residential
in
character.
F
banks,
specifically
in
the
LV
district,
not
having
ATM,
drive-through
or
night
drop
and
the
eating
establishments
cannot
have
outdoor
entertainment,
speaker
systems,
drive-through
and
no
internally,
illuminated
signage
with
restrictions
dine
in
or
carry
out,
/
and
delivery
eating
establishments
in
limited
hours
of
operation
and
the
conditions
that
we
listed
previously.
The
following
retail
users
are
expressly
permitted
copy
and
print
shops,
furniture
stores,
brochures,
Hardware,
paint,
glass,
wallpaper,
carpet
stores.
A
number
of
things
are
allowed
by
special
exception.
F
Those
included
nursing
home
pleasure,
stables,
bed-and-breakfast
ends
that's
for
10
rooms
and
what
is
a
title
in
our
zone?
District
other
retail
uses
and
those
are
uses
that
are
not
expressly
permitted
or
expressly
excluded
from
that
zone
district
in
the
table.
So
before
you
tonight,
you
have
the
application
for
rezoning
for
the
properties,
13
properties
on
Waterloo
Street,
between
Richland
Avenue
and
Haines
Avenue,
okay,.
A
A
G
G
The
city
has
done
study
after
study
telling
us
that
we
need
more
downtown
residential
opening
up
Waterloo
to
retail
and
other
service
uses
will
erode
the
adjacent
residential
rather
than
strengthen
it.
We
have
a
wonderful,
healthy
downtown,
something
rather
unusual
for
a
small
town.
Go
to
many
small
towns
and
you'll,
see
beautiful
old
homes,
surrounded
by
not
very
beautiful
commercial
I.
G
Don't
want
that
for
akin,
and
it's
not
too
late
to
reverse
course.
We
have
heard
from
the
Planning
Commission
that
the
rezoning
is
being
considered
because
the
property
on
Waterloo
Street
is
not
selling.
It's
not
the
city's
job
to
facilitate
the
sale
of
property
and
I
would
argue
that
making
the
Waterloo
property
easier
to
sell
is
that
the
expense
of
those
who
owned
residential
property
in
the
neighborhood?
G
Memos
that
say,
lb
allows
slightly
more
intense
uses
are
misleading.
Page
six
of
the
use
chart
shows
other
retail
sales
and
services
as
permitted
with
BCA
approval.
Other
retail
sales
and
services
consists
of
anything
on
page
three
17
that
does
not
specifically
addressed
on
the
chart.
It
is
unfair
to
the
neighboring
residences
that
they
have
to
go
constantly
be
on
guard
to
see
what
businesses
are
applying
for.
Bca
approval,
all
zoning
districts
other
than
DB
have
minimum
parking
requirements.
G
While
the
lb
zone
is
supposed
to
be
pedestrian
oriented
in
nature,
it
isn't
practical
to
think
that
a
small
city
like
akin
that
any
area
would
have
the
density
needed
to
support
any
business
with
mainly
walking
distance
customers.
We
are
a
car
oriented
society
with
virtually
no
public
transportation.
Any
businesses
in
any
business
that
is
to
survive
will
have
to
appeal
to
customers
well
beyond
the
neighborhood
in
which
it's
located
and
even
beyond
the
city
limits
to
believe
otherwise
is
naive.
G
Almost
all
plans
for
new
development,
such
as
restaurants
and
stores
and
coffee
shops,
all
request
additional
parking
beyond
the
minimum.
The
lb
zoning
would
require
their
BIA
to,
though
LV
zoning
should
require
that
there
be
enough
parking
for
all
customers
and
employees
to
park
on-site
neighboring
residents
should
not
have
to
tolerate
commercial
parking
in
front
of
their
homes
on
a
daily
basis,
restricting
their
own
use
of
their
own
properties.
G
Small
offices,
which
are
currently
allowed
in
the
LP
zone,
rarely
are
serviced
by
delivery
trucks.
Any
retail
or
restaurant,
on
the
other
hand,
would
likely
need
delivery
trucks,
often
tractor-trailer
style.
This
is
totally
unsuitable
for
a
residential,
neighborhood
and
I
know.
You'll,
be
glad
that
this
is
last.
The
hours
of
6
a.m.
to
10
are
more
suited
for
intense
commercial
areas
of
the
city,
not
residential,
in
order
not
to
interfere
with
nearby
residential
uses.
Ideally,
businesses
would
be
closed
when
most
people
are
at
home,
such
as
after
6
p.m.
or
on
weekdays.
H
Okay,
good
evening,
good
evening,
my
name
is
Hal.
Bridget
I
live
at
901,
Haines
Avenue
a
lot
of
what
I'm
going
to
say.
Probably
it's
going
to
look
very
similar
what
Rachel
said,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
tell
you
what
I
think
anyway,
slow
property
sales
are,
in
my
opinion,
a
poor
reason
to
rezone
an
area
property
should
be
resumed
when
affective
parties
agree
that
the
change
is
positive
for
the
adjacent
stakeholders,
as
well
as
the
subject
parcel
owners,
there's
only
one
parcel
for
sale
on
the
street.
H
H
My
neighbor
to
the
east
is
a
business
whose
parking
lot
is
close
to
my
bedroom.
It's
no
further
than
the
rear
wall
of
this
room
is
to
you.
They
are
actually
good,
neighbors
and
I
doubt
that
any
subsequent
tenant
would
would
or
could
be
as
quiet,
but
they
are
a
business
and
they
come
and
go
at
greater
frequency
than
that
of
most
residential
neighbors.
So
I
can
speak
firsthand
as
the
living
next
to
business
friendly
real
estate.
H
The
limited
business
classification
allows
grocery
stores,
restaurants
and
various
retail
establishments.
These
additional
permanent
uses
operate
with
a
lower
markup
than
currently
allowed
professional
occupancy.
A
doctor,
lawyer
or
accountant
typically
gets
paid
well
for
providing
services
to
a
few
people.
One
person
may
pay
$100
to
purchase
some
of
that
professionals.
Time
and
note
that
the
time
commodity
does
not
come
on
delivery
truck,
so
their
markup
is
relatively
high.
H
Grocery
stores,
restaurants
and
other
retail
establishments,
on
the
other
hand,
require
a
larger
volume
of
customers
to
achieve
the
level
profitability
needed
to
be
successful.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
it's
a
ten
dollar
sale
produce,
specialty
hardware
or
a
plate
of
pasta
serve
an
architectural
II.
Pleasing
building
those
businesses
require
more
customers
in
the
front
door
and
more
deliveries
of
goods
to
the
back
door
to
stay
in
business.
H
It
is
not
unreasonable
for
to
foresee
a
tenfold
increase
in
slamming
doors
and
beeping
alarms
as
the
patrons
exit
their
vehicles
at
these
types
of
businesses
and
Sunday
is
a
special
day
at
these
businesses,
because
there
are
a
few
cars
in
the
parking
lots.
That's
the
day
the
groundskeepers
bring
out
their
90
decibel
leaf
blowers
to
make
the
asphalt
presentable
for
Monday's
clients.
H
The
growth
that
accompanies
business
is
not
always
positive.
One
of
the
things
that
makes
taking
a
desirable
place
to
live
or
the
parkways
incorporate
into
the
original
grid
most
would
agree.
This
green
resource
should
be
preserved
and
would
be
offended
if
those
areas
were
paved
to
allow
parking
with
dis
encroachment
to
our
sensibilities
is
what
has
happened
to
Waterloo
Street.
H
You
can
see
from
that
aerial
view
right
there.
The
ride
away
for
Waterloo
is
the
same
as
for
having
you.
As
you
drive
down
pain,
you
see,
peaceful
trees
filled
green
space
on
either
side
of
the
street
does
well
use
by
pedestrians.
For
the
most
part,
the
city
maintains
this
area
in
a
fashion
is
good
for
the
citizens.
As
you
turn
on
the
water
loop,
the
green
space
becomes
gray
asphalt
with
cars.
Having
replaced
trees.
I
can
count
one
two
three
four
five
six
cars
in
the
railway.
H
It
would
be
nice
if
it's
trees
instead
of
cars,
although
this
right
away
should
be
maintained
by
the
city.
Stewardship
of
this
area
now
belong
the
parcel
owners
to
further
their
business
interest.
I
would
like
to
see
this
right
away
become
green
again,
but
the
moment
or
it's
hard
NC
uses
appears
to
be
strong
again.
I.
Ask
you
to
not
recommend
this
change
to
counsel.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
J
J
A
You
know
just
I
will
say
we
have.
We
have
wrestled
with
it
ourselves,
a
good
bit.
We
tried
to
balance
the
the
needs
of
the
residential
area
in
it
and
there
is
business.
It's
it's
not
it's,
not
a
total
residential
area.
There's
businesses
there
now
the
man
in
spoke
is
a
business
there
they're
there.
So
we're
trying
to
do
this
in
a
way
that
is
respects
the
the
homeowners
in
the
area
and
we
understand
their
position,
but
I,
really
in
my
opinion
and
I
I
can
only
speak
for
myself.
A
I
H
A
B
Mechanician
in
reference
to
the
changes
to
the
zoning
ordinance
for
the
small
cell
wireless
and
amateur
radio,
I
would
recommend
it
favorably
to
Council
a
couple
minutes,
the
first
one
on
page
number,
one
Diaz
and
David
the
last
sentence
of
page
one
D,
as
in
David
I,
would
like
to
amend
that
to
painting
it
the
same
color
as
the
structure
or
another
color.
That
would
camouflage
the
antenna.
Okay.
B
B
C
B
He
is
in
Bravo
last
sentence.
Proposals
for
more
than
one
antenna
and
I
will
take
out
the
word
installation
to
make
that
support
structure
shall
require
review
pursuant
to
6.2
dot
five
telecommunication
facility
plan
of
view,
so
the
installation
would
be
replaced
by
support
structure,
and
that
is
consistent
with
our
definitions.
Okay,.
