City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission August 3, 2010 The Commission reviewed the text of the proposed ordinance. Commissioner Larson noted a conflict in the sections of the ordinance relating to minimum garage size in the R-3 zone. In one place it says 200 square feet, another says 220 square feet. The Commission agreed that 220 square feet should be used. Commissioner Larson pointed out that the Table 1 of Appendix A was confusing as it related to “Minimum Bldg Size-Ground Floor for R-3. The Commission agreed that the text should be removed and that box left blank. Administrator Larson reviewed a substitute section regarding Interim Uses in B-1. The language as amended requires Planning and Zoning to make a determination of whether the parcels qualifies for interim use status at the time of rezoning any parcel from I-1 to B- 1. This would avoid the requirement that a property owner must initiate an application for an interim use in those circumstances where the city initiates the change. The consensus was that the revised language was acceptable and that it doesn’t change what was intended in the notice of hearing. Administrator Larson reviewed findings prepared by the City Attorney to set out the justification for the interim use language that is proposed in the draft ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Mosher to adopt the findings of fact and recommend approval to the proposed amendments to Chapter 156, Sections 156.021 & 156.030 including the substitute text for interim uses as well as the other modifications as discussed. Voting in favor: Mosher & Wood. Voting against: Lee and Larson. Motion failed. IV.NEW BUSINESS th 1. Conditional Use Permit Application – 6995 20 Avenue, Hartman Builder PMD, Inc.
