Downtown Zoning Changes – Calling for a Public Hearing Administrator Statz reviewed the presented information with the Commission. He stated that the Commission, Council and EDA had met in 2018 to discuss the downtown zoning, Master Plan and Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission August 13, 2019 code changes that might be appropriate to look at since it has been quite some time since the M-1 and M-2 districts were established and a lot has changed in the development market since then. The item was in front of them again, to reaffirm that the proposed changes are still in line with what the P&Z commission wanted. If this was the case, it would be appropriate to call for the required public hearing. Motion by Commissioner Haiden, seconded by Commissioner Twohy to call for a public hearing on the proposed rezoning and code ammendments. All in favor. Motion carried. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. Concept Plan Review – Residential Subdivision of 7241 Main Street Administrator Statz stated that Mr. John Peterson, brother to property owner Charles Peterson, 7240 Main Street, has discussed and desires to construct several new homes on the parcel located at 7241 Main Street. Administrator Statz stated that Mr. Peterson desires to remove the existing home and plat the parcel into two (2) or three (3) lots and construct homes on them. He stated that two (2) parcels would not require any additional zoning other than a subdivision and plat but a three (3) parcel would require a Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit along with subdivision and platting. The PUD would be needed to relax the lot width from 100’ to 80’, but that the minimum lot size and lake setbacks could be maintained. General consensus from the commission was that either scenario (2 or 3 lot) seemed palatable. Administrator Statz stated that no action was needed at this time as Mr. Peterson was only obtaining the Commission’s input. 2. Concept Plan Review – Warehouse at 7082 Centerville Road (Southern Rail) Administrator Statz stated that the owners of the Southern Rail (Mrs. Vicki Byrne and Mr. Jeff Schultz), desired to construct a new garage/warehouse in the same location as the existing, dilapidated garage on the parcel. He stated that the City Code does not allow for accessory structures in the M-1 district but they do have the right to repair or completely rebuild the existing structure on the same footprint without expansion. He stated that he placed the item on the Commission’s agenda as an item for discussion because the request seemed to be reasonable and may raise an issue worth exploring (whether or not accessory structures should be allowed in the M-1, M-2 districts). General consensus was that there should be a way for a business to be able to add storage space associated with their operations and that doing so in an accessory structure did not seem problematic as long as reasonable restrictions could be placed on the construction. Other discussion revolved around the fact that the current code is not particularly clear as to whether or not storage/warehousing is an allowed use even if it is simply a part of the principal structure. Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission August 13, 2019 Staff was directed to bring back possible language allowing accessory structures as conditional uses in the M-1/M-2 districts and to add that change in code to the public hearing notice for the other M-1/M-2 changes. th 3. Appeal of Zoning Administrator Decision – Witzel Companies, 7129 – 20 Avenue Lighting Nuisance th Administrator Statz stated that a letter had been sent to Witzel Companies at 7129 20 Ave., stating that they were in violation of the nuisance ordinance because of some exterior lighting that is annoying neighboring property owners. Mr. Witzel was on hand and explained the situation further and agreed to further “hood” his lights to cut down on glare. He was to do so by the end of the month. This item was tabled pending action by Mr. Witzel to abate the nuisance. VIII. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1.
