<br /> . CASE #93-15, RYDER STUDENT TRANSPORTATION - ZONING ORDINANCE. <br /> AMENDMENT 1901 WEST COUNTY ROAD F. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger stated the request before the Commission is <br /> the review of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow a bus <br /> terminal under a R-1 Zoning District. The Council has <br /> amended the land use plan several months ago to include the <br /> area in question as low density residential rather than <br /> industrial. The proposed changes limit the bus terminal to <br /> this site and would allow them to continue business and make <br /> improvements to the site. The City can regulate the <br /> concerns of the neighborhood through the SUP process which <br /> gives the City additional control of the appearance of this <br /> site. <br /> If the request for an amendment is denied, the amortization <br /> approach may be considered. The minimum term for this <br /> agreement is five (5) years per ordinance requirements. Our <br /> attorney has stated that if the City has an adequate <br /> amortization period which allowed the applicant to recoup <br /> their improvement costs, the amortization approach should <br /> not be considered taking. This would meet state statutes <br /> . and should not require the City to acquire the property. <br /> The land is valued at $475,000 and the City has not set <br /> aside any funds to relocate the business. Therefore, staff <br /> is recommending approval of the zoning ordinance amendment <br /> with the conditions as outlined in staff's report. <br /> Don Cisky, 1708 West County Road F, stated there were <br /> originally 65 buses on this location. He asked if the repair <br /> of these trailers would stop. He wanted the business out <br /> since it is isn't in a residential area. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger explained this was the Zoning Ordinance <br /> Amendment request and not the SUP permit request The repair <br /> of vehicles would be addressed at that time. <br /> Jim Borg, 1812 Janet Court, stated the bus terminal is <br /> horrendous to live by. <br /> Ms. Piotrowski stated the term bus was to general of a term. <br /> She would like to see it changed to school bus. This would <br /> eliminate confusion with motorcoaches, city buses and such. <br /> . <br />
