4. A site plan will be required to be submitted to the Planning Department showing all the proposed
improvements.
5. In no instance shall the site ever be utilized as a junkyard, animal hospital or kennel.
Commissioner Morrison seconded.
Chairwoman Crecelius asked if anyone was present to speak about the petition. Mr. David Johnston
came to the podium and stated he was the Petitioner requesting the zoning change. Chairwoman
Crecelius asked if they would be individual units. Mr. Johnston stated there would only be one unit
for his private use. Vice -Chair Schramke asked if this would be a commercial use. Mr. Johnston stated
it would be private.
Vice -Chair Schramke asked Mr. Sommer to explain the condition of not allowing junkyards, animal
hospitals or kennels attached to this approval. Mr. Sommer stated more dense uses are allowed in
the M -z Zone as opposed to the M-1 Zone and further stated this area of the City has a lot of industrial
uses. He stated there were residences to the north and west of the site.
Commissioner Wade asked what would be permitted in the M-1 Zone. Mr. Sommer stated all
residential and commercial uses. He also stated outside storage was allowed.
Chairwoman Crecelius asked why the Petitioner asked for an M -z Zone instead of an M-1. Mr. Sommer
stated M -z was the zone that was adjacent to the site and the introduction of M -t could be viewed as
spot zoning.
Vice -Chair Schramke asked Mr. Johnston if he agreed with the conditions. He stated he was in
agreement.
No further questions were asked. Chairwoman Crecelius called for the vote.
