Ms. Brenner initiated discussion on Goetz Landscaping and Irrigation's request for a SUP. The Council discussed questions regarding the Planning and Zoning Commission's intent to make recommendation to the Council. Mr. March stated that Ms. Linda Broussard-Vickers removed herself from the Planning Commission discussion due to a conflict of interest. Moreover, during phone conversation with Linda Broussard-Vickers she stated that the Planning Commission's intention was to make recommendation to the Council for the Goetz Landscaping SUP approval. Ms. Brenner referred to the zoning ordinance and the proposed business in the Industrial District. Specifically, greenhouses and nurseries are permitted in the R1 (Rural Residential) District, not Industrial. Mr. March explained that the Planning Commission allowed the landscape business to be considered as a "Use Permitted on Special Use Permit" under supply yards. Supply yards are identified as a similar use under the Industrial District. Historically, commercial districts abut residential properties and the storage of a bobcat and piles of rocks may not be aesthetically pleasing to adjacent residential property. Mr. Hoefbnterjected that the PlanningCommissiun.can recommend approval, denial, or offer no comment to the Council. The Council should determine the principal use and the principal structure use for a property, then they should determine if the use is permitted or a principal use. Another district's regulation has no barring on how the City authorizes a district use. Mayor Wilharber noted the primary building will be an office which is permissible under the Industrial District. Ms. Brenner requested clarification of Ordinance 44A (Building Design) and the building materials permissible for industrial structures. Mr. Palzer replied that the primary building is to be constructed within Ordinance 44A guidelines. Motion by Mr. Sweeney and seconded by Mayor Wilharber to approve the Goetz Landscape and Irrigation SUP. Mr. Palzer stated the Ordinance allows accessory buildings to be constructed of the same like material of the primary structure. The greenhouse proposed will not pass the building code. Mr. Hoeft stated granting the SUP only applies to the concept approval, not the building design. The site and building plan will need Council approval. Sweeney, Wilharber, Travis and Nelson - aye.
