(study item) Planning Commission Policy and Issues Update
A
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
May
11th
meeting
of
the
Bloomington
Planning
Commission,
the
Planning
Commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteer
Bloomington
residents
appointed
by
the
city
council.
Tonight
we
have
five,
which
is
a
quorum.
The
commission
advises
the
city
council
on
development
proposals,
development
standards,
long-range
planning
and
transportation
issues.
Our
work
is
informed
by
the
city's
comprehensive
plan,
various
District
plans
and
the
city
code
for
some
items.
The
commission
makes
a
recommendation
with
the
city
council
having
final
decision
making
Authority,
which
is
the
case
in
our
first
item.
A
In
other
cases,
the
Planning
Commission
can
approve
or
deny
an
application
subject
to
an
appeal
to
the
city
council
for
each
action
item.
There
will
be
a
staff
report,
an
opportunity
for
the
applicant
to
present
and
then
time
for
any
member
of
the
public
to
provide
testimony.
Our
first
order
of
business
site
is
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
Please
stand
as
you
are
able
I
pledge
allegiance
of
America
and.
C
Yes,
chair
Roman
Commissioners.
We
do
have
one
public
hearing
item
tonight
and,
if
you're
watching
at
home
this
evening
and
would
like
to
testify,
you
can
do
so
remotely.
What
you
would
do
is
call
the
number
on
the
screen
and
enter
in
the
access
code,
and
then
we
will
have
this
number
on
the
screen
throughout
that
public
hearing
item.
A
D
I
think
it's
your
Roman.
The
one
public
hearing
we
have
tonight
relates
to,
like
I,
said
a
privately
initiated
city
code
Amendment,
and
that
code
amendment
is
to
allow
K-12
schools
as
a
conditional
use
within
the
I2
limited
industry.
Zoning
District.
D
I
wanted
to
start
out
by
what
the
city
code
identifies
as
the
the
intent
of
the
I2
limited
industry.
Zoning
District
I
do
think
is
relevant
for
this
application,
in
that
you
know
just
to
summarize
it's
it's
for
industrial,
large-scale,
Industrial
Development
and
that
could
include
research
and
development,
Tech,
biotech
distribution,
manufacturing
and
then
supporting
services
like
office
and
business
business
services
are
also
permitted.
So
the
the
intent
in
the
code
is
is
really
focused
towards
traditional
manufacturing
distribution,
but
then
also
high-tech.
D
And
then
for
school
you
know
we
do
Define
it
in
the
city
code,
but
it's
pretty
straightforward,
providing
instruction
services
to
Elementary
students
and
learning
programs.
E
D
D
We
have
a
number
of
performance
standards,
but
then,
in
terms
of
the
land
uses,
those
are
identified
in
use,
tables
and,
and
you
can
see,
the
use
is
on
the
left
and
then
the
the
relevant
zoning
districts
are
columns,
and
so,
when
we
get
questions
on
various
uses
and
can
I
do
this
with
my
property
or
you
know
what
uses
are
permitted
in
this
particular
zoning
District
we
go
to
the
code,
we
we
look
up
that
zoning
district
and
then
we
can
go
through
different
uses
potential
uses
with
you
know
a
real
estate
person
or
someone
who's,
calling
to
try
and
start
a
business,
and
so
I
just
have
highlighted
the
I2
zoning
district
and
then
schools.
D
D
This
map
identifies
where
the
I2
zoning
districts
are
within
the
city
of
Bloomington.
The
vast
majority
of
those
Parcels
are
pretty
much
where
we're
sitting
now.
You
know,
including
City
Hall,
which
is
an
I2
Zone
site,
but
north
of
here
kind
of
like
our
Central
Industrial
region
within
the
city,
there's
a
few
properties
along
the
494
Corridor.
If
you
can
see
in
the
upper
Northwest
portion
of
the
site,
a
handful
of
properties,
but
again
the
vast
majority
of
the
I2
Zone
properties
are
are
really
around
where
we
are
today.
D
In
summary,
staff
is
not
supportive
of
the
city
code
amendment
to
allow
schools
in
the
I2
zoning
district
and
I'll
go
through
a
few
slides
on.
Why
that's
our
recommendation?
First
off.
We
want
to
start
with
the
Capricorns
of
plan.
D
That's
the
overarching
policy
document
that
helps
us
make
just
land
use
decisions
and
Industrial,
Development
and
Industrial
Redevelopment
is
is
addressed
in
some
detail
within
the
comprehensive
plan
and
to
degree
that
staff
anticipates
and
the
city
anticipates
that
there
will
continue
to
be
pressure
to
redevelop
or
change
industrial
sites
to
non-industrial
uses,
and
we
see
some
of
that
in
the
city
within
within
limitations.
D
But
we
went
a
step
further
and
to
identify
where
we
feel
that
might
be
more
appropriate
to
have
non-industrial
Redevelopment
call
those
transitional
areas
and
those
are
in
Blue
on
the
map
and
then
areas
where
we
feel
it's
really
important
to
maintain
industrial
uses
in
industrial
zoning
and
that's
the
red.
So
you
can
see
in
the
southwest
quarter
of
the
vast
majority
of
that
area.
Is
this
protected
industrial
and
then
in
the
central
zoning
area,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
protected
industrial
and
then
some
sites
within
like
the
Lindell
Avenue
industrial
Corridor?
D
And
here
is,
you
know,
zooming
pretty
far
in
I've
highlighted
the
the
the
sub
subject,
application
would
apply
to
the
city,
but
I
think
it
is
relevant
to
identify
the
site
that
provided
the
impetus
for
the
code
Amendment
and
that's
outlined
in
yellow
and
that's
a
protected
industrial
site.
So
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
policy
the
conference
of
plan
established,
is
to
maintain
industrial
uses
and
Industrial
zoning
on
this
property.
So
we've
we
concluded
that
it
was
Inc.
This
application
is
inconsistent
with
the
guidance
provided
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
D
So
the
aerial
image
of
of
the
property
along
West,
94th
Street
and
the
in
my
staff
report
and
and
in
the
code
or
the
plan
it
identifies.
You
know
some
characteristics
where,
where
industrial
uses
would
be
continue
to
be
viable
and
one
is
rail
access
and
then
certainly
freeway
access,
this
site
has
great
rail
access.
A
railspur,
progressive
rail
operates
out
of
this
property
and
is
also
very
close
to
the
94
35W
interchange.
D
D
It's
just
a
and
the
applicant
included
a
small
diagram
of
the
proposed
school
I
wasn't
able
to
blow
it
up
much,
but
essentially
the
the
area
along
West,
94th
Street,
would
become
the
School
portion
of
the
site
with
other
industrial
uses
within
the
property.
D
If
the
performance
standards
were
not
amended
and
frankly,
performance
standards
for
an
industrial
site,
we
think
are
inadequate
there.
Really,
there
is
no
adjustment
or
consideration
of
adjacent
industrial
uses,
the
potential
for
a
lot
of
commercial
traffic,
which
is
large
scale,
and
how
that
how
that
school
could
or
is
not
compatible
with
existing
or
future
industrial
uses,
plus
hazardous
materials
and
a
lot
of
manufacturing
processes
include
hazardous
materials.
That
could
be
extremely
problematic
in
the
case
of
an
emergency.
D
Another
thing
that
I
think
is
relevant
is
that
City
staff
is
the
Planning
Commission.
The
city
council
went
through
in
a
very
extensive
process
in
studying
Industrial
Development
in
the
city
as
well
as
over,
overhauling
I
would
I
would
call
it
the
industrial
sections
of
the
code
and
the
issue
of
schools
was
a
component
of
that
discussion
and
we
had
Fairly
lengthy
discussions
on
whether
or
not
schools
or
in
places
of
assembly
should
be
permitted
in
industrial
areas.
D
Ultimately,
the
city
council
decided
that
it
should
not
be,
and
so
they
were
presented
with
information
staff
even
presented
two
versions
of
an
ordinance
one
that
did
allow
schools
and
places
of
assembly
and
one
that
did
not,
and
the
Council
made
the
decision
that
they
did
not
feel
that
schools
and
places
of
assembly
should
be
permitted
in
industrial
uses.
So,
unless
we're
directed
otherwise,
we
feel
that
this
policy
question
has
been
settled.
D
I
just
mentioned
a
moment
ago
about
the
potential
incompatibility
between
schools
and
Industrial
uses.
There's
just
there's.
We
have
a
lot
of
questions
on
the
safety.
You
know.
Zoning
is
health
safety
and
wellness
or-
and
there
would
be
a
lot
of
concerns
for
a
school
in
an
industrial
site
and
then
relatedly.
You
know
the
performance
standards.
We
would
want
to
be
fed
up
to
address
those
concerns.
D
So
if
the
Planning
Commission
the
city
council,
does
want
to
allow
this,
we
would
still
recommend
denial
of
this
particular
application,
and
we
would
ask
that
you
direct
us
to
study
what
sort
of
performance
standards
we
could
adopt
to
make
this
more
compatible
and
with
that
here's,
the
the
recommended.
A
Motion
before
you
thank
you
very
much
questions
for
staff.
A
One
question
I
would
have
and
I'm
sorry
I
should
have
thought
to
ask
this
ahead
of
time
so
that
maybe
you
would
have
data
for
me.
The
the
information
we
were
provided
talked
about
other
uses
that
the
applicant
found
to
be
in
their
opinion,
compatible
or
not
compatible,
similar
college
or
university.
How
many
colleges
or
universities
do
we
have
in
I2
right
now
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge
to.
D
Will
yeah
it's
your
rolling
great
question,
so
instructional
Center
is
kind
of
a
tricky
use
in
that
it
the
end
and
we
could
pull
the
definition
if
you'd
like,
but
the
Intensive
instructional
Center
is
not
for
K-12
education.
It's
more
of
a
technical
focused,
a
very
I
should
say
very
recent,
but
instructor
Center
that
was
approved
by
the
city
within
the
last
few
years
was
to
teach
auto
motor
vehicle
technicians
to
fix
cars.
So
it's
much
more
a
vocational
technical
type
of
use.
That's
the
intent
at
least.
D
B
My
question
is
related
to
chair.
Romans
is
I
also
saw
that
daycares
were
an
accessory
used
to
a
business.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
use
and
if
we
have
any
of
those
in
in
I2
sure.
D
Thank
you,
commissioner,
Roman
or
commissioner
goldsman,
the
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
daycares
in
I2
I.
Think
there
have
been
and
I
wish.
London
was
here
because
he
would,
you
would
know
immediately,
but
the
intent
was,
if
you
have
a
large
facility
industrial
facility
or
industrial
office
facility,
that
you
could
accommodate
a
daycare
on
site.
You
know
that
would
be
great
for
parents
with
young
children
to
be
able
to
have
a
daycare
on
site,
drop
them
off
and
go
to
work,
but
I'm.
F
D
Thanks
for
the
question
yeah,
the
the
daycare
allowance
is
conditional
accessory
so
and
there's
a
there's,
a
pretty
significant
distinction
between
conditional
use
and
a
conditional
accessory.
The
daycare
has
to
be
accessory
to
something,
and
that
would
be
a
larger
scale
business.
So
there
are.
There
would
be
a
built-in
limitation
on
the
amount
of
like
floor
area
that
a
daycare
could
could
occupy
relative
to
an
entire
site,
so
there
would
have
to
be
an
industrial
use
or
permitted
use
that
the
daycare
would
be
accessory
to
and
it
would
still
require
a
conditional
use
permit.
G
Thank
you
chair.
This
is
not
formulated,
I'm
still
thinking
through
it,
so
hear
me,
I
guess:
I
was
reading
the
staff
report
and
I
think
there's
some
portion.
That
said,
the
area
obviously
is
a
protected
industrial,
but
then
how
do
you
protect
something
and
not
prohibit
like
we
do
allow
land
use
applications
to
come
through
I
know.
You
said
if
there
are
market-driven
uses
in
the
area
that
could
be
considered.
G
The
city
would
be
open
to
changing
protected
class
to
allow
the
Market
driven
use
in
this
case,
but
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
application,
but
I'm
thinking
out
loud
in
terms
of
like
how
do
we
protect
something
that
is
so
limited
in
the
city
while
it's
also
allowing
applications
to
come
through?
It's
not
making.
The
question
is
not
very
clear
to
me,
but
I
I
don't
know
if
it
makes
sense,
and
you
don't
have
to
answer
it
right
now.
G
Maybe
you'll
come
to
me
later,
but
I
think
I
concur
with
a
lot
of
the
comments
or
the
analysis
that
Steph
has
put
out
in
the
application
and
I'm
very
sympathetic
to
the
applicant,
but
the
site.
I2
is
very
limited
in
the
city,
so
if
it's
a
protected
use
or
protected
Industrial
Area,
then
shouldn't
there
be
a
way
to
like,
protect
it
better
without
having
to
allow
applications
to
come
through
I,
don't
know
you
don't
have
to
answer
it.
I'm
just
thinking
out
loud
like.
D
I
could
provide
Mr
I
could
provide
a
couple
thoughts
and
then
our
playing
manager
could
could
fill
in
gaps.
You
know
the
the
comprehensive
plan.
Guidance
really
helps
staff
analyze
an
application,
so
property
owners
have
the
right
to
apply
for
a
whole
variety
of
things
that
we
may
or
may
not
be
supportive
of,
but
the
comprehensive
plan.
D
We
look
at
that
and
it
helps
us
make
a
decision
on
what
our
recommendation
is
going
to
be,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
that,
we
think
it's
pretty
clear
that
the
the
comp
plans
policy
guidance
is
to
do
what
we
can
to
protect
industrial
uses
in
industrial
sites
that
are
still
viable
for
industrial
uses,
and
that
helps
us.
That's
not
the
only
reason,
but
that
helped
us
come
to
conclusion
that
we
that
staff
is
not
going
to
recommend
approval.
So
it's
really
one
element
of
a
larger
analysis.
H
Very
much
members
of
Planning
Commission
City
staff-
my
name
is
Howard
rosten
I
am
one
of
the
attorneys
for
the
applicant
here
as
well,
and
you'll
hear
from
Pam
Snyder
I
think
a
little
bit
later
here,
I'm
going
to
address
two
issues
here,
one
picking
up
on
the
question
about
whether
or
not
this
is
Market
driven-
and
the
answer
is
of
course
it's
Market
driven
I
mean
that's
why
my
client
is
is
is
here
for
this.
H
This
is
a
building
that
in
an
area
and
in
a
market,
demographic
and
and
building
segment
that
is
struggling,
it
just
is
and
a
lot
of
these
regulations
were
adopted.
Pre-Covered
and
times
have
changed
now.
I
I
do
hate
to
blame
everything
on
kovid
and
I.
H
Acknowledge
not
everything's
blamed
on
kova,
but
I
can
tell
you
in
my
client
can
confirm
it
dramatically
changed
this
type
of
Market
segment
for
a
property,
and
so
the
question
for
us
was
how
do
we
address
it,
and
we
looked
at
alternative
uses
that
we
we
thought
would
be
beneficial
to
the
city
as
a
whole
and
believe
me,
if,
if
a
client
could
lease
this
space
out
to
something
that
fits
squarely
in
your
zoning
code
and
made
a
viable
use
of
the
property
they'd,
do
it
in
a
heartbeat?
G
H
That's
allowed
under
this
zoning
code
and
clearly
there's
going
to
be
children
in
the
daycare.
That's
that's
what
it's
for
a
college
or
university
is
a
conditional
use
here.
I
mean
this.
It's
it's
a
little
bit
interesting
to
me
that
very
young
kids
are
allowed,
College
age
kids
are
allowed
and
then
there's
this
hole
in
the
middle
that
doesn't
seem
to
have
any
rational
basis
for
why
this
is
being
called
out
as
separate
in
this
industrial
district,
instructional
centers.
H
As
a
conditional
use
are
allowed,
Sports
training
facilities
are
allowed
as
a
conditional
use
moving
further
down
hotels,
I'm,
sorry,
health
clubs
are
permitted
used
to
some
to
some
standards
here:
Studio
audio
and
video
restaurants
with
outdoor
or
rooftop
seating.
Again,
there's
going
to
be
potential
for
people
who
are
not
immediately
working
in
the
industrial
area
to
be
present
here.
H
So
we
think
this
proposed
amendment
to
the
zoning
code
to
allow
this
use
actually
fits
squarely
and
neatly
within
what's
already
permitted
or
conditionally
permitted
in
this
particular
district,
and
we
also
think
it
reflects
the
realities
of
the
marketplace
right
now.
I,
don't
think
it's
in
anybody's
best
interest
to
have
a
significantly
vacant
property
in
the
city.
That's
not
adding
to
the
health
safety
welfare
of
the
city
at
all,
and
so
with
that
we
are
asking
for
this
amendment
to
the
zoning
code.
A
Thank
you,
questions
for
the
applicant
commissioner,
Opti.
G
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
or
if
lady
is
from
the
business
or
the
property
owner
I
think
the
question
I
had
was
just
use.
Compa
compatibility,
a
school
is
going
in
right
now
on
the
site.
What
types
of
uses
are
currently
there
and
because
it
is,
you
know,
tenants,
move
out
and
tenants
change
over
time.
If
we
do
allow
a
school
in
to
go
in
right
now
and
then
an
I2
permitted
use
industrial
use
goes
into
the
building
in
the
future.
G
I
Sure
is
this:
one:
on
I'm,
Pam,
Snyder
and
I
represent
the
owner
of
the
building.
Mr
Hoyt,
as
his
asset
manager
and
real
estate
broker
for
the
property
and
I
I,
see
this
property
as
really
almost
two
separate
buildings,
because
the
entire
front
of
the
property
is
office
style
and
does
not
have
clear
height,
nor
loading
docks
or
anything
of
that
sort
to
allow
for
for
warehouse,
industrial
type
use
in
the
front
of
it,
and
that
is
almost
forty
thousand
square
feet.
I
The
back
side
of
the
building
does
have
industrial
type
tenants,
as
you
know,
Progressive,
rail,
MacArthur
and
Elios.
All
of
are
which
more
for
storage
facilities
are
not
manufacturers
and,
and
then,
in
this
front
office
space
about
a
year
ago,
we
did
get
a
conditional
use
permit.
You
may
recall
for
Richfield
gymnastics
that
took
half
of
this
space,
so
that
was
a
great
fit
and
we
appreciate
you
know
that
we
were
able
to
do
that.
They
love
it
there.
I
So
when
the
scitec
Learning
Academy
looked
at
this
space,
you
know
they
just
checked
all
the
boxes.
You
know
they
liked
the
demographics.
They
like
the
space
itself,
it's
a
perfect
size
for
them
square
footage,
we're
not
contiguous
with
walls
to
the
warehouse.
There's
a
space
in
between
that
is
an
exit
out
of
the
building
that
is
actually
between
the
warehouse
and
the
front
office
area.
So
the
walls
are
not
even
you
know,
butted
up
next
to
each
other,
so
we
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
fit.
I
We've
talked
to
their
architect
as
well
as
as
far
as
adding
an
additional
entrance
to
the
front
if
they
were
to
come
in
on
the
other
side
of
the
front
entrance.
Currently
so
I
think
that
brings
four
exits
of
the
20
some
thousand
square
feet
and.
I
That
should
meet.
You
know
all
the
the
concerns
with
that
type
of
use
and
having
plenty
of.
G
I
don't
know
what
I'm
trying
to
push
for
here
is
I,
guess
going
back
to
just
the
compatibility
as
a
property
owner
if
a
tenant
changes
and
one
of
your
industrial
uses
move
out,
and
you
have
another
industrial
goes
into
the
site.
How
do
you
as
a
property
owner
choose
to
decide
if
the
use
coming
in
as
an
industrial
which
is
allowed
and
would
be
allowed
in
the
area
potentially
is
a
compatible
use
with
the
existing
School.
I
G
I
Distribution
type,
what
we're
seeing
where
the
Market's
going
in
technology
and
cyber
security
and
and
all
the
things
that
are
the
way
that
industrial
is,
is
changing.
G
B
G
Thank
you
like
a
would
this
be
considered
like
a
typical
high
school
other
than
you
providing
the
classroom
spaces
for
the
edu.
You
know
the
indoor
spaces.
Would
you
say
that
the
tenant
going
in
as
a
school
would
have
the
capacity
to
provide
the
outdoor
and
necessary
School
accessory
spaces
needed
for
a
school?
Yes,.
I
I
believe
their
layout
is
attached
to
the
document
tonight.
They
they
would
build
some
additional
classrooms,
there's
already
existing
offices
in
there
that
they
would
leave
as
is
and
other
than
on,
that
far
left
side
of
the
photograph
up
there,
where
they
would
talk
about
putting
another
entrance
right
off
that
front
parking
lot.
I
want.
A
A
G
You
I
think
I.
That
kind
of
brings
me
back
to
reality
and
I
think
I
think
I'm
done
with
questions
for
now.
Thank
you.
A
H
Was
just
going
to
say,
I
was
going
to
pick
up
on
your
point,
which
is
we
did
start
this
as
a
permitted
use
and
then
realize
that
I
I
respect
the
planners.
Concern
that
this
shouldn't
be.
You
know,
there's
going
to
be
other
issues
we
need
to
address
if
this
is
permitted
as
a
conditionally
permitted
use,
we're
not
asking
to
have
or
ask
the
Planning
Commission
to
recommend
the
city
council
that
this
is
permitted
and
we
open
up
the
doors
a
week
from
you
know,
city
council.
We
understand
that.
H
A
Okay.
Thank
you
for
that.
This
item
is
a
public
hearing
and
I:
don't
see
anyone
else
in
the
chambers.
Is
there
anyone
online
who
is
wish
to
testify?
This
item
sure.
A
You
seeing
nobody
in
the
chambers
and
I
guess
technically:
I
didn't
open
the
public
hearing,
so
the
public
hearing
is
open.
Nobody
in
the
chambers,
nobody
online,
can
I
entertain
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing.
So.
F
A
The
public
hearing
is
closed.
Discussion
on
the
proposed
text
Amendment
commissioner
cooked
in.
E
D
Chair
Roman,
commissioner
cookson
yeah,
there's,
there's
plenty
of
schools
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
right.
There's,
a
public
school
system
and
they're
they're,
our
private
schools
associated
with
place
of
assembly
or
places
of
worship.
I
did
put
together
a
quick
slide.
D
So
what
I
did
here
on
the
slide
is
I,
went
again,
went
back
to
these
use
tables
and
then
just
scroll
down
until
I
got
to
school
for
the
other
zoning
districts,
and
some
of
the
top
is
other
commercial,
commercial
districts
or
B
and
C
districts,
and
you
can
see
that
there
are
a
few
districts
where
schools
are
not
are
prohibited.
The
b
b,
one
two
and
four,
but
then
there's
the
C
districts,
which
are
typically
larger
scale
and
that
those
are
limited
conditional
uses.
D
And
so
again
there
there's
limitations
and
there
has
to
be
relationship
to
a
broader
site.
Then
I'll
go
to
the
bottom
and
then
most
of
the
schools
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
are
located
in
the
R1
single
family
zoning
district.
And
that's
again
you
can
see
that
it's
a
c
so
across
the
board.
There's
two
large.
D
You
know
large
lot
type
districts
where
it's
not
permitted,
but
other
than
that
it's
conditionally
permitted
in
all
residential
districts
and
then
finally,
the
CX2
in
the
middle,
that's
really
the
Mall
of
America
and
then
land
surrounding
the
Mall
of
America,
so
very
large
scale.
That's
the
only
District
where
it's
permitted
by
right.
E
A
separate
question:
what
is
the
relevance
of
2000
West
94th
Street
in
this
application?
My
understanding
is
that
it
is
irrelevant.
This
is
a
text
Amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
It
is
not
have
I
mean
it's
contextual,
but
it's
not
relevant.
It's.
E
D
Fair
statement
sure
thank
you,
chair
Roman,
commissioner
yeah.
You
know
we,
we
included
some
of
the
information
provided
by
the
applicant
and
the
staff
report,
and-
and
we
discussed
it
tonight
because
context
is
helpful
because
it
kind
of
gives
us
a
window
into
the
sorts
of
sites
that
the
city
would
be
expected
to
review
whether
or
not
a
school
Twitter
wouldn't
be
appropriate.
D
So
having
having
a
concrete
example,
can
help
that
analysis
and
that
that
thought
process,
but
to
your
point
that
specific
site
is
not
what
we're
asking
you
to
take
action
on
we're
asking
you
to
take
action
on
the
code
Amendment
for
the
I2
District
right.
There
just
happens
to
be
a
specific
site
that
caused
the
application
before
you.
B
Mr,
chair
I,
think
the
context
has
been
very
helpful
and
I
think
as
we
talk
through
this
I
had
a
hard
time
separating
the
site
from
the
application.
I
actually
worked
in
this
site
in
the
office
area
for
five
years.
So
I
know
this
property
very
well,
so
I'm
just
going
to
take
a
step
back
and
kind
of
understand,
what's
being
asked
here,
so
I
looked
at
this
application
and
then
compared
it
to
the
list
of
the
currently
the
currently
conditionally
allowed
uses.
B
So
a
daycare
as
an
accessory
use
or
a
university
or
instructional
use,
for
example,
and
the
big
sticking
point
that
I
have
and
as
a
mother
with
small
children,
all
of
the
other
uses
that
are
permitted
or
are
conditionally
permitted
are
with
parents
that
are
on
site
for
long
periods
of
time.
So
a
daycare,
for
example,
the
parent
would
be
on
site
at
work
and
the
child
would
be
there
as
well
you're
thinking
about
the
volleyball
or
the
gymnastics
Club.
B
You
know
the
children
aren't
there
without
their
parents,
typically
hanging
out
watching
the
practice
happen
or
you
know
being
close
to
being
on
site.
So
the
big
sticking
point
for
me
really
is
about
children
being
on
site
for
long
periods
of
times
without
the
parents
big
on
site
there
with
with
them,
so
it
just
that
said
it
draws
some
concerns,
obviously
from
health
and
safety.
The
other
thing
I,
think
about
with
a
school
and
the
location
of
these
sites.
B
Is
children
like
to
walk
to
school
I
mean
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
child
be
able
to
walk
or
bike
to
a
school
and
looking
at
where
these
properties
are
on
the
map,
they're
not
by
a
residential
home
or
in
r1r2
District,
and
so
it
would.
Although
there
are
sidewalks,
which
we
are
all
you
know
very
big
proponents
of
I
just
don't
see
it
with
this
use
being
compatible
with
an
industrial
location
that
will
have
large
rail
trucks
hauling
product
in
coming
and
going
to
school.
B
So
you
know
I
think
that
there
are
enough
incompatibilities
here.
Thinking
about
how
do
we
keep
our
children
safe,
I,
just
I
write
at
this
point
cannot
support
this
application
as
it's
written
today.
G
I
feel
I
I
feel
like
I,
am,
with
the
city's
analysis
on
this
here,
I'm
looking
forward,
I'm
looking
Beyond
in
terms
of
like,
if
this
you,
if
this
text
Amendment
change,
is
allowed
with
the
limited
I2
districts
or
properties,
we
have
we,
we
would
likely
see
more
tenants
like
schools
going
into
these
spaces,
so
I
guess
I'm,
looking
toward
the
ramification
of
that,
and
how
do
we
protect
a
use
that
the
comprehensive
line
sees
is
a
valuable
used
to
have
while
I'm,
very
sympathetic
to
property
owner
to
the
property
owner
I
I
feel
I'm
looking
beyond
the?
G
What
would
this
do
to
the
the
availability
of
Industry
uses,
because
schools
will
technically
be
allowed
with
conditions?
Now
you
can't
just
turn
away
a
school,
because
now
you
could,
but
you
know
if
this
goes
through,
then
we
would.
We
would
likely
see
more
applications
because
the
sites
would
allow
for
possibility
of
school.
G
So
I
concur
with
all
the
analysis,
you've
done
and
I
think
the
city
has
done
a
really
good
job
in
just
laying
out
some
of
the
reasons
why
some
of
the
concerns
that
do
exist
so
I'm
I'm
recommend
moving
forward
the
application
at
the
recommended
motion.
Seen
here.
F
I
want
to
Echo
a
commissioner
called
commissioner
goldsman
commissioner
Abdi
remarks
regarding
safety.
I
had
some
of
the
similar
thoughts
about
children
exiting
and
entering
the
area,
not
only
immediately
on
the
site,
but
for
what
could
be
considered
a
one
mile
radius
of
kids
walking.
F
My
my
main
consideration
and
I
I
do
understand
that
the
market
is
changing
and
given
covet
and
everything
that's
going
on
with
the
economy
that
the
demand
for
a
school
potentially
in
this
area
is
there
obviously
there's
a
tenant
for
a
school
in
that
area.
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
this
group
is
charged
with
is
not
just
thinking
about
the
immediate
economy
but
the
economy
in
10
years
and
what
that
might
look
like
and
I.
F
Think
commissioner
Abney
said
it
well
that
we
do
need
to
protect
our
industrial
sites
for
industrial
uses
and
although
a
school
might
want
to
go
in
on
this
site
or
might
temporarily
be
interested
in
an
I2
site,
then
it's
not
available
for
another
use,
given
a
shift
in
the
market
or
what?
What
have
you
in
the
next
10
years
and
I?
Think
that's
why
we
as
a
group?
Look
to
the
comprehensive
plan
because
it
is,
we
are
a
long-term
planning.
F
We
have
a
long-term
planning
look,
it
is
not
just
just
around
the
corner,
so
I
yeah
I,
don't
think
that
I
can
support
this
change
and
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
here.
E
Mr
chair
thanks.
You
know,
I
think
the
comprehensive
plan
tasks
us
with
finding
the
right
projects
in
the
right
places
now
I
believe
2000,
West,
94th
Street
is
irrelevant
to
this
application.
I'm.
Looking
at
this
at
the
lens
of
a
change
to
our
code,
are
we
going
to
allow
schools
in
I,
choose
zoning
and
so
I'm?
E
Looking
at
this
as
more
of
a
broad
sense,
not
only
2000
2001
West,
94th
Street,
but
2005
West,
94th
Street
and
2007
West
92nd
Street,
it
really
doesn't
matter,
it's
it's
the
compatibility
of
surrounding
uses,
and
so
you
know
when
you
look
at
what's
already
allowed
in
the
I2
Zone,
and
we
heard
some
things
that
are
similar
to
schools.
There's
restaurants,
there's
the
accessory
daycares
Etc
I.
Do
think
that
K-12
is
a
unique
demographic
in
that
similar
to
what
commissioner,
Albrecht
or
I'm
sorry
Commissioners,
who
said
it.
Somebody
else
said
it.
E
Commissioner
goldsman
perhaps
had
a
she's.
She
said
that
well
now,
I
lost
my
train
of
thought.
I!
Think
it's!
It
I
think
it's
a
unique
age
range.
She
said
that
their
parents
are
always
there
I
think
of
it
more
as
who's
taking
responsibility
for
that
individual.
When
you're
in
daycare.
Someone
else
is
taking
care
of
you
when
you're
in
college.
You
can
take
care
of
yourself,
but
that
middle
range
you're
being
asked
to
take
care
of
yourself
as
an
elementary
student,
but
you
maybe
not
quite
able
to
do
that.
E
So
if
there's
a
chemical
spill,
if
I'm
in
daycare,
someone
else
recognize
that
if
I'm
in
college
I
know
to
call
9-1
if
I
see
a
chemical
skill
spill,
but
if
I'm
in
fourth
grade
I,
don't
know
better
to
do
the
right
thing
and
so
I
do
think.
There's
a
uniqueness
to
the
K-12
age
range
that
is
independent,
maybe
they're
walking
to
school,
maybe
they're
on
the
playground,
but
they're
not
quite
ready
to
take
care
of
themselves
in
an
emergency
and
I.
Think
that's
a
problem,
so
I
do
think.
E
There's
a
uniqueness
to
K-12
that
is
different
than
all
the
other
conditional
or
permitted
uses
in
I2.
So
I
do
think
it's
different.
There
I
think.
Commissioner
avdhi
said
it
very
well
that
we
don't
know
what
neighbor
might
come
next
because
again
we're
talking
about
this
in
general
terms,
it's
I2,
and
so
it's
not
just
what
other
tenants
are
at
2001
West
94th
Street.
But
what
about
the
other
buildings
where
this
could
be
an
application
and
it
you
might
find
a
building.
E
Perhaps
it's
this
one
where
the
tenants
are
very
mild
and
it's
not
a
problem.
Maybe
it
would
it
would
work
but
another
site.
That's
zoned!
I2!
We
get
ourselves
into
a
problem
where
those
tenants
are
a
problem
or,
as
commissioner
objects
stated,
the
tenants
are
certainly
going
to
change
over
time
at
this
particular
subject:
property
and
they
may
not
be
compatible.
E
And
so,
although
you
could
craft
a
line
of
of
events
where
it
works
out
great
and
it's
fine
and
everybody's
happy
and
we've
got
a
a
great
usage
here,
I
think
on
the
whole,
there's
too
much
risk
in
that
tenants
are
not
compatible
with
children
and
the
the
walking
to
school
thing.
With
industrial
usage.
Around
does
scare
me,
I
mean
when
I
went
to
elementary
school.
E
I
wasn't
always
walking
straight
home
right.
There
there's
other
things
that
are
happening,
and
so
it's
unfortunate
because
a
stem
school
does
excite
me
and,
although
that's
particular
stem
school
again,
I
feel
is
irrelevant,
but
a
stem
School
excites
me
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
because
I
have
stem
degrees
and
I'm
a
Believer
in
stem
No,
One
Believes
In
stem
more
than
I
do,
but
we
have
other
places
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
where
stem
is
appropriate,
a
stem
school
is
appropriate
and
this
isn't
one
of
them
and
I
can't
support
this
application.
Tonight.
J
I
already
stand
behind
all
the
Commissioners
up
here
as
well.
Knowing
the
area
and
the
industrial
use,
there
are
potential
risks
which
would
entail.
J
J
You
know
that's
a
time
for
kids
to
enjoy
and
be
recreational
and
all
that
noise
pollution
just
doesn't
sound
like
it
would
be
a
good
environment
for
them.
A
Thank
you,
I
will
say
for
for
me,
I
think
as
I
used
to
be
able
to
say,
commissioner
Corbin
and
I,
but
she's
left
with
our
body.
When
we
worked
on
the
comprehensive
plan,
we
talked
specifically
about
industrial
and
the
biggest
thing
and
I
think
it's
interesting,
because
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
applicant
is
that
it's
been
challenging
but
I
think
what's
challenging.
A
Perhaps
since
that's
just
a
speculation
I'm
not
saying
it's
fact
is
that
this
is
an
office
space
in
an
industrial
area
which
office
is
permitted
in
industrial,
and
you
know,
office
appears
in
a
lot
of
places
around
the
city,
but
we
talked
specifically
about
in
a
fully
built
out.
City
industrial
space
often
is
a
target
for
reuse
either
because
it's
inexpensive
or
it's
old,
it's
easy
to
scrape
or
as
residential
growth.
A
People
don't
like
living
next
to
it
anymore,
even
though
they
may
have
come
to
the
nuisance
kind
of
as
the
term
of
art
is
so
long
story
long.
We
felt
strongly
about
and
that's
why
this
protected
industrial
shows
up
in
the
plan
and
I
think
I
I
found
it
interesting.
I
haven't
dug
into
it
before
I
thought.
You
know
that
the
applicant
shared
information
about
other
uses
that
are
currently
conditionally
allowed,
which
actually
I
thought
was
far
more
permissive
than
I
would
think
it
should
be.
A
Maybe-
and
so
that
might
be
not
necessarily
part
of
this
item,
but
you
know
I'm
if
we
don't
have
any
Universities
or
colleges
I,
don't
maybe
we
don't
need
to
have
that
as
a
as
an
option
if
we,
if
we
truly
want
to
protect
our
industrial,
if
that
is
going
to
be
a
priority
for
the
city,
it
might
be
a
good
time
to
look
at
what
are
those
things
that
that.
E
A
Either
conditionally
or
permitted
in
in
the
eye
zones,
so
just
from
a
just
from
that
perspective
is
where
I'm
at
is.
Is
that
I'm
not
in
order
to
protect
industrial
I'm,
not
looking
to
add
more
things
that
are
either
permitted
or
conditional
in
industrial
that
are
not
Industrial
in
nature
or
very
closely
affiliated
with
Industrial.

A
All
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
say
aye
I
opposed
the
motion
passes.
This
is
an
item
that
the
city
council
has
final
decision
making
on,
so
this
will
appear
as
a
public
hearing
on
the
June
5th
city
council
agenda.
Thank
you.
The
second
item
is
our
regular
policy
and
issue.
Update
and
I'll
look
to
the
planning
manager
for
what
they
have
to
share
with
us.
Chair.
C
Roman
Commissioners,
our
next
meeting
will
be
in
two
weeks
on
May
25th.
We
have
just
one
item
on
that
agenda
and
that
one
is
a
city
initiated
code
amendments
and
it
would
establish
exceptions
to
the
operating
hours
of
mobile
food
units,
also
known
as
food
trucks
located
within
250
feet
of
residential
zoning
districts.
