H
Okay,
members
of
the
commission,
jason
vanessa
with
the
city
planning
staff
chair,
did
a
great
job
of
introducing
the
item.
The
let
me
show
you
a
map
of
the
subject
property
here
we
go.
Hopefully
that's
showing
up
on
your
screen.
The
the
property
is
located
on
the
I
guess
you
would
refer
to
as
the
southwest
corner
of
the
intersection
of
shaw
street
and
southeast
9th
street.
H
This
is
an
area
that's
kind
of
south
of
the
market
district,
which
you
know
our
530
session
talked
a
lot
about
the
market
district,
but
this
is
a
little
further
south.
Just
to
get
you
oriented
property
contains
existing
single-family
building
that
would
be
proposed
to
be
demolished.
H
The
applicant
did
provide
some
conceptual
ideas
about
how
the
site
would
be
laid
out,
but
would
have
to
come
back
with
the
site
plan
and
go
through
that
process,
so
anything
that
we
see
tonight
on
the
site.
Planner
the
drawings,
I'm
going
to
show
you.
This
is
just
kind
of
conceptual
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
it
is.
They're
wanting
to
do.
H
In
the
staff
port,
you
know
there's
really
two
things
going
on
here:
there's
the
the
land
use
plan
amendment
and
then
there's
the
re-zoning
it
the
the
zoning.
That's
there
today,
n3c
would
not
allow
the
row
house
unit.
However,
the
existing
low,
medium
density,
residential
designation
for
this
area.
D
H
Would
allow,
I
don't
know.
H
Gotta
love
technology,
so,
as
I
was
where
I
was
heading,
is
that
the
so
we
have
a
rezoning
from
a
designation?
That's
focused
on
single-family
development
to
a
zoning
that
allows
row
home
development
both
of
those
zoning
designations
are
allowed
in
the
low
medium
density,
residential
designation.
That
covers
this
broader
area,
and
you
might
remember,
I
think
it
was
earlier.
H
This
year
we
had
a
rezoning
proposal
from
the
same
applicant
for
a
similar
project
to
the
south
of
here
closer
to
the
to
the
levee
to
the
river,
in
this
case
the
land
area
that
they
have
is
small
enough,
that
they
couldn't
get
the
desired
number
of
units
on
that
lot,
without
amending
the
land
use
plan
to
high
density
residential,
and
so
the
zoning
conforms,
but
the
intent
an
intended
use
intended
to
develop
pattern
does
not.
H
So
when
we
review
site
plans,
we
do
have
to
make
sure
part
of
the
criteria
in
reviewing,
that
is
to
make
sure
that
they
conform
to
the
future
land
use
map
and
and
the
plan
plan
dsm.
H
So,
even
though
density
or
the
number
of
units
is
really
set
by
chapter
135,
which
is
our
planning
and
design
ordinance
and
not
the
zoning
ordinance,
we
still
have
to
make
sure
that
that
site
plan
would
conform
with
a
future
land
use
map.
So
that's
why,
even
though,
both
of
these
zonings
that
we're
looking
at
both
comply
with
low
medium,
we
do
need
that
the
applicant
would
need
the
high
density
designation
to
be
able
to
do
anything
more
than
three
units
on
this.
This
parcel.
H
So
jumping
into
staff
recommendation.
This
is
a
little
bit
unusual
for
us
and
that's
why
one.
I
gave
you
kind
of
a
lengthy
overview,
but
we
are
recommending
denial
of
the
amendment
to
the
future
land
use
map.
We
think
that
this
is
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
an
area.
H
It's
also
not
enough
land
really
in
our
minds
to
warrant
changing
to
a
high
desi
designation,
where
you
know,
we
really
feel
like
you
need
to
have
some
logical
transition
to
surrounding
uses.
Perhaps
this
if
this
was
at
the
periphery
more
further
north
closer
to
the
market
district,
you
know,
maybe
it
would
make
sense
in
this
case
the
staff.
We
believe
that
the
low
medium
density
designation
is
what
is
the
best
designation
for
this
site
at
this
time,
so
we're
recommending
denial.
H
Part
b,
however
part-
and
I
see
a
typo
part
c-
we're
recommending
approval.
We
think
that
nx2
zoning
is
appropriate
for
this
area.
We
re-zoned
half
a
block
for
the
develop.
You
know
for
this
applicant
not
too
long
ago,
like
I
said
to
the
south
of
here
same
neighborhood,
so
that's
the
basis
of
our
recommendation.
H
H
M
D
M
Have
a
question
for
jason
jason.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation,
my
question
with
the
staff
brand.
They
proved
the
rezoning,
but
not
the
amendment,
to
plan
the
assam,
but
that
is
essentially
put
the
pressure
on
the
applicant
to
come
back
with
a
different
proposal
that
complies
with
the
approved.
H
The
other
alternative
that
I
suggested
they
look
at
is
trying
to
acquire
more
land
and
you
know,
come
back
at
a
later
date
with
more
land,
so
those
are
kind
of
different
options,
the
the
zoning
it
does
conform.
You
know
that
that
particular
zoning
district
does
conform
with
the
land
use
map,
but
it
just
so
happens.
We
know
their
intended
density.
Doesn't.
J
H
I'm
not
seeing
the
applicant,
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
here
tonight
to
represent
him.
I
had
I'd
reached
out
to
him
and
hadn't
heard
back
if,
if
somebody's
here
to
represent
the
applicant
on
this
item,
please
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
hit
star
9
on
your.
D
A
A
F
B
B
So
motion
for
item
seven
carries
twelve
zero.
One.
E
Jan
it's
well
here.
Could
I
just
make
one
comment
about
this.
I
know
it's
out
of
place,
but
I
will
anyway,
I
think
the
design
the
front
gable
design
with
the
steep
pitch
grooves
is
a
very
good
design
for
the
neighborhood
it
fits
in,
and
I
and
I
applaud
the.
H
Hey
I'm
members
of
the
commission
jason
van
essen
with
the
planning
staff.
Let
me
make
it
a
little
easier
to
see
the
the
screen
I'm
going
to
switch
to
full
screen
mode.
Hopefully
that
works
with
no
glitches.
H
So
this
is
a
ariel
identifying
the
subject
property
it's
on
the
north
side
of
thornton
avenue,
just
west
of
southwest
24th
street.
This
is
close
to
the
intersection
of
southwest
26.
you'll,
see
in
this
aerial
house.
That's
been
demolished.
The
applicant
is
constructing
a
new
house
on
this
property
and
as
such,
when
we
have
new
development,
whether
it's
residential
commercial,
our
our
standards
in
chapter
135,
require
a
sidewalk.
H
As
with
anything
in
chapter
135
items
can
be
appealed
to
the
commission
and
there's
a
process
and
in
the
staff
report
we
provided
you
with
the
kind
of
the
language
and
the
criteria
of
the
code
that
we're
supposed
to
keep
in
mind
when
we
look
at
these
character
area,
different
plans,
the
goals
of
the
planned
dsm
and
other
sister
plans
in
the
city,
such
as
move.
D
H
H
A
lot
of
what
we're
going
to
talk
about,
I
think
tonight
has
to
do
with
grade,
and
so
you
know
we
did
have
our
engineering
staff
look
at
this.
This
is
a
topo
map
from
our
system,
showing
the
different
grade
levels
on
the
site
in
the
right
of
way.
H
H
H
Staff
reports
you
gotta
copy
that
in
your
packets
and
then
this
is
the
criteria
for
looking
at
type
two
design
alternatives.
H
As
staff,
you
know
we're
there's
a
couple
things.
H
I
guess
I'd
like
to
commission
to
keep
in
mind
and
just
understand
from
how
staff
has
looked
at
this
one
is
you
know
we
we
recognize
the
work
and
the
thought
that's
been
gone,
that's
gone
into
the
discussion
or
the
thought
of
sidewalks
in
the
city
in
general
and
filling
in
the
gaps,
multimodal
opportunities
and
and
then
also
the
direction
that
we've
received
from
counsel
at
in
the
past
discussions
that
we've
had
with
you,
then,
also
on
top
of
that
you
know,
we
look
at.
H
You,
know
the
physical
characteristics
of
the
area,
and
is
it
physically
possible
to
put
a
walk
in
in
this
case?
We
believe
it
is
possible.
We
physically,
we
recognize.
There
are
challenges.
The
applicant
spent
some
time
and
put
together
a
nice
presentation
for
you
and
I'm
going
to
help
help
him
go
through
it.
H
Where
he'll
make
the
case
to
you
about
obstacles
that
he
sees
to
installing
it.
The
the
I
guess.
The
one
thing
I
do
want
to
say
is
that
it's
become
evident
to
me
and
looking
at
and
corresponding
with
paul,
that
there
is
an
opportunity
to
move
the
walk
around.
It
doesn't
have
to
necessarily
be
in
one
particular
position.
H
It
can
vary
and
I
think
in
some
of
our
earlier
communications,
but
if
I
don't
think
that
was
clear
apologize
for
that,
we
do
have
some
base
level
standards,
it
would
suggest
a
walk
needs
to
be.
You
know
five
feet
back
from
the
curb
line,
those
sorts
of
things,
but
in
unique
situations
we
do
have
the
ability
to
work
with
our
engineering
staff
and
work
with
the
applicant
to
find
a
path
that
that
makes
sense.
Recognizing
obstacles
is
great.
H
This
is
the
response
map.
We
sent
out
a
notice
to
everybody
within
250
feet.
At
the
time
the
map
was
prepared.
We
hadn't
received
any
responses.
This
afternoon
I
received
a
series
of
emails.
I
do
have
them
in
the
presentation
I'll
go
ahead
and
flip
through
those
and
let
you
read
them,
but
since
they
came
in
late,
we
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
compare
them
against
the
ownership
of
the
map
and
possibly
update
the.
H
H
Let
me
just
give
me
a
second
to
get
back
to
that
map,
so
we
have.
We
have
sidewalk
to
the
west,
which
you
get
past
26th
street,
and
then
we
have
sidewalk
to
the
to
the
east.
Once
you
get
past
24th.
N
N
Jason,
this
is
greg
jones.
Yes,
so
you
were
talking
about.
Sometimes
the
city
allows
flexibility.
Normally
that
walk.
Would
the
right-of-way
line
is
about
19
feet
behind
the
edge
of
the
pavement,
but
you
said
sometimes
engineering
allows
it
to
be
five
foot
back
so
essentially,
if
everyone
could
agree,
there
could
be
a
walk
along
there,
but
it
might
be
between
five
and
ten
feet
behind
the
existing
pavement,
which
is
halfway
up
that
slope.
True.
H
Yeah
I
mean
so
yeah.
There
is
flexibility
to
either
have
the
sidewalk
be
very
close
to
the
street
or
to
be
further
back.
It
could
even
possibly
be
partially
or
all
on
the
property
with
a
public
access
easement.
It
can
slide
around.
You
know
to
to
avoid
the
tree
there's
a
water
hydrant.
At
the
other
end,
I
guess
I
yeah
what's
been
shared
with
me,
as
I've
talked
with
our
engineering
staff,
about
the
possibilities
and
options
is
that
there
is
a
multitude
of
ways
that
we
could
find.
H
You
know
find
something
acceptable.
It
wouldn't
have
to
be
a
hard
straight
line.
That's
exactly
five
feet
back
with
a
constant
large
retaining
wall,
which
I
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
paul.
But
I
know
that's
been
one
of
the
items
that
he's
pointed
out.
That
he's
has
concern
with
so
I
know
he
has
other
items,
so
I
don't
want
to
just
pin
it
on
that.
But
I
know
that's
one
item.
N
And
another
question:
jason:
is
there
any?
Is
the
city
planning
on
doing
curb
and
gutter
and
storm
sewer
or
whatever
thornton
doesn't
have
today
in
the
future?.
H
I
there
is
nothing,
that's
like
budget
planned
wise
for
it.
I
wasn't
able
to
track
down
if
how
far
out
engineering
you
know
like
a
ballpark,
so
I
don't
have
a
date
that
anything
is
planned
to
take
place.
H
D
H
O
First
of
all,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
commission
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today
on
this
request
for
design
alternative,
and
I
should
also
say,
on
a
more
personal
note,
janet's
really
nice,
to
hear
your
voice
again
after
so
many
years
where
he
used
to
be
neighbors.
A
O
So
I'm
very
glad
to
be
with
you
today
if
we
can
flip
to
the
the
first
slide
past.
The
title
we'd
like
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
us.
My
wife
jill
is
here
with
me.
We
recently
returned
to
des
moines
after
several
career
moves,
but
we
were
more
than
20-year
residents
of
des
moines.
Prior
to
that
we
did
restore
the
historic
fc
waterbury
house
on
country
club
boulevard.
When
we
lived
here
before
we
raised
five
children
here,
we've
been
very
active
in
the
community.
O
D
O
O
The
lack
of
a
sidewalk
was
frankly
something
we
talked
about
before
we
bought
the
lot,
but
as
we've
studied
it,
an
orphan
sidewalk
on
our
property,
we
feel
does
not
contribute
to
the
objectives
of
move
des
moines
at
this
time,
and
I'm
emphasizing
at
this
time
we
are
willing
to
contribute
to
sidewalks
on
the
block
at
such
a
time
when
there's
a
plan
and
for
the
whole
block
and
it's
approved
and
funded
now,
let's
go
into
some
of
the
specific
reasons.
If
we
can
go
to
slide
four,
why
we
think
a
sidewalk
is
problematic.
O
First
of
all,
there
are
specific
site
features
that
make
compliance
both
impractical
and
undesirable.
If
we
can
go
to
slide
five.
O
O
Now,
if
we
can
go
to
slide
six,
we
did
measure
the
elevation.
Our
builder
main
build
measured.
The
elevation
from
the
elevation
of
the
street
to
the
point
at
which
for
the
sidewalk,
if
we
assume
a
five-foot,
parkway
and
a
five-foot
sidewalk,
and
then
assume
that
we
need
a
couple
feet
past
the
sidewalk
in
order
to
create
space
for
it.
What
we
found
is
that
there
is
about
a
six
foot
elevation
difference
so
excavating
for
a
normal
five
foot
parkway
and
a
normal
five
foot.
O
O
O
O
Our
understanding
of
that
is
that
it
would
create
essentially
a
12
and
a
half
foot
parkway,
which
is
significantly
broader
than
the
normal
requirements
of
the
city
street
plan.
In
addition
to
that,
we
think
it
would
really
we
think,
frankly,
any
sidewalk.
What
what
we've
been
told
by
the
arborist
who
reviewed
our
property.
We
did
hire
an
arborist.
We
had
every
tree
on
the
property,
tagged
and
evaluated,
and
what
we've
been
told
is
that
you
start
creating
danger
with
trees
when
you're
inside
the
drip
line.
O
You
can
see
that
any
sidewalk
would
be
inside
the
drip
line
of
this
very
large
and
healthy
oak.
That
is,
that
is
there
in
the
picture
and
if
we
were
to
follow
the
city
staff
suggestion
and
move
it
up
the
hill.
Basically,
we
would
be
very
close
to
that.
The
trunk
of
that
tree
and
what
you
can't
see
from
this
picture
is
directly
behind.
Where
I
was
standing
when
I
took
the
picture
is
another
similar
size
oak.
O
O
O
Jason
mentioned
that
there
is
a
city
fire
hydrant
that
is
seven
feet
from
the
street
at
the
west
end
of
the
property,
which
would
put
it
in
the
middle
of
a
sidewalk.
If
there's
a
five
foot
parkway,
and
if
we
move
the
sidewalk
to
the
north
of
the
hydrant,
it
would
again
threaten
that
other
large,
mature
oak
trees
root
system.
O
O
Another
part
we
haven't
really
talked
about
is
there's
a
request
to
put
parkway
trees
and
basically
our
feeling
is
we're
all
in
favor
of
trees.
We've
we've
actually
planted
six
new
trees
on
the
property.
Already
we
would
be
happy
to
plant
more,
but
planting
them
in
or
near.
The
ditch
is
not
a
good
place
for
the
trees
and
they're
unlikely
to
survive.
O
In
fact,
it's
nine
of
the
11
lots
that
you
were
shown
earlier
where
the
neighbors
were
were
notified.
The
next
point
says
three
directly
adjoining
lots:
I'm
actually
wrong
about
that.
There's
four
directly
adjoining
lots
and
they're
all
designed
and
constructed
consistently
with
the
requested
design.
O
In
addition,
the
design
alternative
requested
would
preserve
significant
canopied
areas
and
mature
trees
along
the
entire
north
side
of
the
2500
block,
and
it
would
eliminate
substantial
undue
adverse
impact
on
the
adjacent
property
if
we
can
go
to
slide.
12
here
is
a
aerial
photograph
of
the
area
which
you've
seen
before.
I
just
want
to
call
your
attention
to
the
lot
at
the
corner
of
24th
and
thornton
on
the
north
side
of
the
street.
O
This
shows
the
city
sidewalk
plan,
the
neighborhood
sidewalk
plan
and
it's
it's
blurry
because
it
was
hard
to
blow
it
up
to
the
size.
But
you
can
see
if
you
can
squint
a
little
bit
that
thornton
and
24th
street
are
not
on
the
plan
through
2024
and
as
jason
just
mentioned
a
little
bit
ago.
O
There
isn't
currently
a
timeline
for
wen
thornton
or
24th
and
I'm
bringing
up
24th
because
in
order
to
get
to
bus
lines
or
schools
by
going
east,
you
would
have
to
have
sidewalks
all
the
way
to
floor
on
thornton
and
all
the
way
to
park
on
24th
and
there's
currently
no
plan
or
any
schedule
for
when
those
would
be
put
in.
If
we
can
move
to
slide
15.
O
Also,
the
move
des
moines
plan
indicates
that
it
will
take
17
years
to
complete
all
priority
one
sidewalks
and
now
thornton
is
in
the
priority
one
area,
but
it's
not
on
the
plan
through
2024
and
the
plan
itself
says
it
could
take
17
years
and
just
of
note,
I
got
a
little
chuckle
out
of
this.
The
irs
standards
for
the
useful
life
of
a
sidewalk
is
20
years,
so
we're
not
even
sure
that
it
would
ever
be
used
during
the
useful
life
if
we
build
it
now.
O
So,
if
we
can
move
to
slide
16,
just
a
quick
summary,
the
sidewalk
would
cause
a
six
foot
high
wall.
It
would
remove
mature
trees
and
endanger
others.
It
would
probably
have
to
be
replaced
when
the
street
is
upgraded.
O
Last
thing
I
would
say
is
that
having
walked
that
block
multiple
times
now,
if
and
when
the
city
wants
to
put
in
sidewalks,
I
think
on
the
north
side
of
the
street.
The
best
place
for
a
sidewalk
would
be
immediately
adjacent
to
a
curb
when
the
street
actually
has
curves,
and
we
would
be
supportive
of
that-
we're
not
against
sidewalks.
We
just
think
putting
one
in
right
now
on.
Our
lot
does
not
make
sense.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
N
Have
a
question
for
jason
or
mike?
Is
there
a
way
to
since
paul
said
that
they
were
willing
to
bond
or
do
something
and
pay
for
a
sidewalk
at
some
point,
when
the
city
actually
had
a
plan
or
a
street
plan,
or
something
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
do
that.
H
This
is
jason
with
staff
mike.
I
might
need
you
to
chime
in.
I
have
a
fuzzy
memory
that
we've
done
stuff
like
that,
or
at
least
had
somebody
sign
a
an
agreement
where
they
would
not
fight
an
assessment.
Does
that
ring
a
bell
to
you.
G
Yeah
we've
we've
had
a
couple
instances
where
there's
been.
It's
called
a
waiver
petition.
I
believe,
and
it
gives
up
rights
to
theoretically
gives
up
rights
to
protesting
a
future
assessment.
We
typically
have
not
used
assessment
in
des
moines
of
sidewalks
so
likely
it
would
never
get
to
that
point.
I
think
the
other
thing
we
have
done,
though,
is
we
have
done
some
escrows
for
some
improvements,
and
maybe
glenna
could
speak
to
whether
that
would
apply
for
a
residential
project.
G
I
know
we've
done
it
on
a
couple
of
projects
up
in
sherman
hill
regarding
some
street
lighting
and
that
might
be
an
option
I'll.
Let
glenna
speak
if
that's
appropriate.
C
Yes,
hello,
this
is
glenna
frank
with
the
legal
department
and
mike
is
correct.
What
we've
done
recently
have
been
escrow
agreements
for
this
type
of
purpose,
and
I
think
that
seems
like
the
most
reasonable
option,
as
well
as
the
most
realistic,
because,
as
mike
mentioned,
the
city
doesn't
typically
do
assessments
for.
J
You
can
help
me
understand.
I
actually
was
part
of
that
project
in
sherman
hill,
that
mike
mentioned,
but
with
an
escrow
agreement.
Would
that
mean
that
the
applicant
would
need
to
actually
put
all
that
money
into
escrow
and
it
could
sit
there
until
the
city
decides
to
take
it
and
build
build
the
project?
J
C
This
is
glenna
frank
again
and
yes,
that
is
correct.
What
we've
done
with
the
other
projects
that
you've
seen
have
an
escrow
agreement
is
that
they
have
deposited
funds
with
the
city
pursuant
to
an
agreement.
The
agreement
is
sent
to
city
council
for
approval
and
then
that
money
sits
sits
in
an
account
until
such
time
as
either
they
do
the
work
or
the
city
does
the
work.
C
A
Other
questions
or
comments
from
the
commission-
I
I
personally
would
say
I
think
there
are
some
very
good
points
brought
out
by
paul
von
ebers.
I
think
there
were
several
letters
of
support
from
neighbors
who
agree
with
his
stance.
Other
comments.
J
Again,
I'm
sorry
go
ahead,
so
we're
in
board
discussion
correct.
Yes,
we're
in
board
discussion.
I
kind
of
struggle
with
this
one
I'll
just
throw
a
few
thoughts
on
the
table
for
folks
from
the
board.
You
know
I
live
in
south
beaverdale,
which
means
I
have
plenty
of
streets
around
me
that
affect
my.
My
own
street
I
live
on,
does
not
have
sidewalks
and
there's
some
that
do
and-
and
I
I'm
in
complete
support
of
creating
safe
walkable
environments.
J
What
I
will
tell
you,
because
I
walk
and
run
around
the
city,
a
lot
that
streets
that
are
heavy
and
busy
with
traffic
there's
more
of
a
need
in
small
scale,
slow
residential
streets.
Sometimes
that's
part
of
the
character.
J
You
know
that
people
walk
up
and
down
the
street
and
cars
go
slow
and
people
wave
at
each
other.
So
sometimes
that's
just
part
of
the
character
in
these
neighborhoods,
and
so
I
don't
know
that
it's
a
one
size
fits
all
and-
and
I
was
on
google
earth
looking
at
this
street
and
there's
definitely
a
chunk
of
street
here
it
looks
like
you're
in
rural
iowa.
It's
not.
J
E
I
have
a
question:
please
there
was
a
mention
about
waiting
a
petition.
E
Mr
von
everest
was
good
enough
to
say
that
they're
interested
in
helping
support
the
the
plan
whenever
the
sidewalk
is
implemented,
but
if
he,
if
the
wave
petition
could
could
might
or
someone
discuss
that
a
little
bit
fuller
so
that
there
would
be
a
record
of
of
the
applicant's
ability
or
to
hold
the
project
when
it's
or
not
to
oppose
the
assessment
when
it's
considered
by
the
city,
could
someone
unpack
their
thoughts
about
that
again?
For
me,
please.
G
Yep
well,
this
is
mike
ludwig
playing
administrator
again
on
sidewalk
projects.
The
council
has
not
typically
done
assessments
on
projects,
so
the
fact
that
the
applicant
would
sign
a
waiver
to
oppose
an
assessment.
It
still
takes
the
council
deciding
to
do
it
doesn't
mean
that
a
future
council
might
not
think
differently
than
past
councils
and
may
decide
to
start
assessing
for
sidewalks,
but
at
this
time
that's
not
the
typical
process.
That's
that
our
council
has
pursued.
E
A
Thanks
will
we've
got
a
motion,
we've
had
discussion,
we
have
a
motion
tyler.
D
D
D
B
G
F
D
I
I
It's
it's
bounded
by
a
mobile
home
community,
on
the
north
and
on
the
west.
The
army
post
road
corridor
in
this
area
was
designated
as
rx1
by
the
new
code
that
took
effect
in
december
of
2019.
The
rx1
is
one
of
the
least
intense
commercial
districts
that
we
have
and
I
believe
the
reason
that
this
corridor
was
designated
as
rx1
was
just
given
the
narrow
depths
of
many
of
the
lots
and
the
fact
that
they
are
in
very
close
proximity
to
a
lot
of
low
density
residential
properties.
I
I
I
should
also
mention
that
if
the
rezoning
is
approved,
they
would
then
have
to
submit
a
site
plan
for
review
and
consideration
by
city
staff.
The
site
plan
hasn't
been
submitted
yet,
but
I
would
mention
that
it's
eligible
for
administrative
rep
approval,
but
if
they
do
need
any
design
guidelines
to
be
waived,
they
would
be
back
in
front
of
the
commission
on
a
future
agenda.
I
I
I'm
not
seeing
my
staff
recommendation
here,
but
we
are
recommending
that
the
uses
of
the
property
be
limited
to
any
use
allowed
in
rx1,
plus
we
had
said
plus
vehicle
maintenance
and
repair
minor
and
that
vehicle
maintenance
and
repair
miner
subcategory
would
allow
for
this
list
or
these
uses
here
that
are
on
the
screen
right
now.
Are
there
really
any
use
that
repairs
installs
or
maintains
the
mechanical
components
of
vehicles
or
that
wash
clean
or
otherwise
protect
the
exterior
interior
services
of
such
vehicles?
I
And
then
they
have
these
other
criteria
that
are
contained
in
the
code
that
they
must
use.
So
I
apologize,
I
don't
have
the
staff
recommendation
pulled
up,
I'm
not
sure
why
it
wasn't
included
in
my
presentation,
but
that
again,
that
was
our
recommendation.
I
As
far
as
the
neighborhood
communications
that
we
received,
we
received
this
one
email
that
I
have
on
the
screen
right
now
from
a
neighbor,
a
few
doors
to
the
east,
so
they
were
really
concerned
about
other
commercial
uses
being
allowed
on
the
property,
but
the
this
second
paragraph
here
is
the
most
critical.
It
says
that
if
there's
a
condition
stating
that
the
rezoning
could
be
granted
for
the
auto
detailing
business
only
they
would
have
no
problem
with
it.
I
So,
as
I
mentioned,
our
recommendation
was
to
allow
really
any
use
in
rx1
plus
vehicle
maintenance
and
repair
miner,
so
it
would
allow
for
a
few
more
uses
than
just
what
this
email
asks
for
and
then
we
had
this
card
here
come
back
in
opposition,
but
if
you
read
it,
it
says
I'm
not
in
favor.
If
this
can
be
turned
into
another
car
lot
well,
our
staff
recommendation
would
not
allow
for
the
car
lot
use
and
then
we
just
had
this
other
card
come
back.
Blank,
and
here
is
the
consent
map.
K
This
is
abby.
My
only
question
is
in
the
packet
that
I
received
and
maybe
it's
outdated,
but
it
did
include
vehicle
sales
and
service.
I
A
J
J
I
appreciate
you
giving
me
the
time
to
address
you
today.
I
represent
mcfadden
holdings,
the
owner
of
the
property,
and
I
also
represent
the
tenant
there.
The
young
man
named
anthony
capasca
anthony,
moved
in
to
or
began
to
occupy
that
property.
I
think
back
in
april
and
put
quite
a
bit
of
his
own
money
into
trying
to
get
the
inside
of
the
building
that
you've
seen
up
to
par
and
invested.
J
I
think
about
six
thousand
dollars
of
his
own
money
to
run
his
auto
detailing
business
out
of
there,
and
he
this
came
to
our
attention,
or
this
came
to
my
attention,
at
least
when
he
was
notified
by
the
city,
that
the
what
he
was
doing
there
was
not
a
use
that
was
contemplated
by
the
current
zoning
classification
that
the
property
has,
and
so
the
landlord
and
anthony
came
to
me
to
ask
about
getting
this
free
zone
for
him
as
you,
as
I
think
bird
mentioned
or
somebody
did.
J
The
prior
use
for
the
building
was
an
automotive
repair
business
that
was
called
jaden
automotive.
J
They
since
moved
out
and
then
anthony's
moved
his
business
in
you
know,
as
your
staff
said
this,
this
would
be
an
appropriate
use,
given
the
surrounding
lots
and
what's
going
on
just
generally
around
the
property,
and
you
know
I
think
if
the
property
is
rezoned-
and
this
is
a
use
that
we
can
count
on
for
the
long
term.
J
I
know
that
the
landlord
and
anthony
both
are
planning
to
invest
pretty
heavily
in
paving
the
parking
lot
that
you
see
there
putting
in
shrubs
and
vegetation
and
just
trying
to
get
that
that
entire
parcel
looking
a
heck
of
a
lot
better
than
what
it
is
now,
but
they
needed
that
they
needed
to
be
rezoned
in
order
to
really
have
any
incentive
to
put
those
kinds
of
investments
into
it.
J
J
I
did
receive
one
comment
from
from
somebody:
the
comments
that
I've
seen-
I
guess
in
opposition
to
this,
to
the
extent
that
really
in
opposition
to
the
zoning
really
don't
have
much
to
do
with
the
zoning.
I
mean
I
think,
as
bert
recognized
rightfully
so
a
lot
of
the
commentary
just
has
to
do
with
conditions
that
are
sorry
for
uses
that
really
won't
be
contemplated
by
the
conditions
that
the
staff
are
putting
on
this
free
zoning
request.
J
J
He
he
does
plan
to
perhaps
sell
a
vehicle
or
two
out
of
there
at
times.
I
know
he's
done
that
in
the
past,
so
I
I
would
like
to
see
that
stay
in.
If
we
could
it's
not
going
to
turn
into
a
car
lot,
where
he's
selling
a
bunch
of
used
cars
out
of
there
every
day,
he
needs
the
space
to
detailing
business.
But
that
is
something
he's
done
and
he's
you
know
bought
a
couple
two
or
three
cars.
J
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions,
but
we'd
really
appreciate
seeing
this
free
zone
to
to
mx3
so
that
we
can
just
do
what
what
anthony
would
like
to
do
and
continue
his
business
and-
and
I
would
also
add
I
mean
if
it
stays
as
rx1-
I'm
not
sure
that
the
way
the
building
is
set
up
right
now
and
what
that
building
is
that
it
would
really
be
much
of
an
opportunity
to
use
it
as
rx1
we'd,
probably
just
be
back
here
asking
for
rezoning
if,
if
anthony's
forced
out
of
there,
because
it's
not
rezoned
so
with
that
I'll.
I
Madam
chair,
this
is
bert.
I
did
want
to
clarify
the
staff
recommendation
which
the
applicant
might
want
to
respond
to.
Okay,
as
commissioner
chung
has
said,
vehicle
sales
and
service,
comma
vehicle
maintenance,
repair,
this
vehicle
sales
and
service.
Here,
that's
actually
the
category
in
the
use
table
that
vehicle
maintenance
and
repair
miner
falls
under,
so
it
wouldn't
actually
allow
for
the
vehicle
sales
and
service.
I
So
if
you
look
at
our
use
table,
the
category
is
called
vehicle
sales
and
service
which
allows
like
fuel
stations,
vehicle
sales,
vehicle
rental,
vehicle
maintenance,
finder
and
vehicle
maintenance
major.
So
our
recommendation
would
only
be
allow
only
to
allow
uses
that
fall
under
this
line
in
the
table.
That
says
vehicle
maintenance
or
repair
miner.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
you
want
to
address
that.
J
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
okay?
Well
yeah
I
mean
I
I
guess
I
was
a
little
confused
by
that.
I
I
thought
that
everything
listed
there
in
proviso
one
would
be
allowed,
but
but
as
it
is,
I
mean
the
main
thing
that
anthony's
doing
there
is
his
vehicle
maintenance,
repair,
minor,
he's
doing,
auto
detailing
and
and
everything
that's
really
contemplated
by
vehicle
maintenance
repair.
J
So
I
you
know
if
you
can't
sell
one
or
two
vehicles
off
the
lot.
I
guess
that's,
that's
probably
gonna
be
okay,
but
I
I
wasn't
aware.
I
guess
that
that
was
not
to
be
allowed.
That
first
clause.
A
L
And
address
please
yeah:
this
is
bill
phillips,
I'm
at
1602
army
post
road.
Our
concerns
with
some
of
the
other
tenants
in
the
area
and
residents
in
the
area
is
the
rezoning
to
mx3
for
either
mcfadden's
use
or
in
the
future
would
allow
him
to
put
other
businesses
in
there
in
the
future.
A
That's
an
excellent
question:
can
we
have
staff
answer
that.
I
Yeah
well,
as
the
condition
is
drafted
right
now,
like
I
said
this
vehicle
sales
and
service-
that's
really
just
the
category
that
the
vehicle,
maintenance
and
repair
miner
subcategory
falls
under.
So
really
this
section
here
taken
directly
from
city
code,
section
134-3.5.19
d
again
this
is
the
staff
recommendation
that
these
would
any
use
that
would
meet
this
criteria
here
on
the
screen
now
would
be
allowed,
so
that
would
not
cover
vehicle
sales
or
like
major
vehicle
repair,
which
would
be
like
auto
body.
L
Work:
okay,
I
think
our
concerns
were
that
the
owner
of
the
property
is
a
known
bar
owner
in
the
area,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this,
but
this
responding
would
not
be
able
to
allow
him
to
go
with
that.
I
Right
yeah,
the
rx1
district
would
not
allow
for
a
bar.
I
I
So
if
they
would
want
to
put
a
bar
in
there,
they
would
have
to
try
to
rezone
it
to
another
district,
so
you
would
be
notified
at
that
time.
I
I
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion,
we
have
a
motion,
so
tyler
caleb.
B
F
D
K
K
B
C
F
A
Thanks
tyler
that
we've
covered
all
the
items
director's

G
This
chair
next

continue
to
be
virtual,
at
least
until
the
months
of
august
and
september,
so
we'll
continue
to
meet
in
this
format.
G
Also
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
did
there's
a
restructuring
occurring
in
the
community
development
and
economic
development
departments,
and
we
have

and
basically
