Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) OROS. 277 & 278; LEXINGTON/FOX AREA REZONING Council was refen-ed to a meIOClranchnn fram the Clerk Administrator dated 4-5-91, relative to the proposed rezoning of the Lexington/Fox Business Area and related correspondence from the Planner and Attorney. The Planner stated one month ago the Planning Commission recommended to Council adoption of the rezoning of the lexington/Fox Business Area and two properties were excluded fram the re=rnmendation for further review; the Pugleasa property and the Tyson property. He explained staff has met with the property owners to review these two sites and both properties were discussed at the 4-3-91 Planning meeting . Planner Bergly advised the Planning Commission recommended the Pugleasa property be rezoned from 1-2 to B-2 and a variance be granted with the rezoning of this site, to allow the percentage of acx::essory use to be 45.3% instead of 30% as required by code. He explained the rationale for granting the variance is based on the fact the City, rather than the property owner, initiated the rezoning. Bergly stated there are some seasonal variations in the amount of area of the Pugleasa property that is used f= an accessory use; st=age of inventory varies depending on the t:i1ne of year. He explained that 45.3% would be the greatest amount of space utilized for storage at any t:i1ne in the wilding. Malone questioned if 45 percent would be sufficient or if the percentage should be 45.3%. He also questioned if the storage area is inside the wilding. Bergly advised it is difficult to calculate the exact figure and 45 percent would be sufficient. He stated the storage area is totally inside the facility. Malone asked if this is the only property south of the railroad tracks proposed f= rezoning. Bergly stated there is another parcel to be rezoned in this area, however, the Pugleasa property owner was the only one to appeal the rezoning. He noted that there is also another parcel proposed to be rezoned in the I-Flex district, however, Tyson was the only property owner that opposed the rezoning.
