All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated he would work with Staff on the necessary amendment to <br />the zoning code. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Resolution of approval would need to be approved by <br />Council and recommended that Council direct the developer to move forward with the <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment at his expense if it is approved. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Council could make the motion to direct Staff to <br />prepare the appropriate paperwork and noted that amending the Comprehensive Plan <br />would take a 4/5ths vote but the rezoning is a simple majority. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 14 <br /> <br />
