Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 22,2012 Page 9 Councilmember Pust suggested moving forward on a case by case basis; to which Mr. Paschke noted that this would not be an option, since the City could not grant variances for a use, and it would therefore make it difficult to consider requests on a case by case basis. Councilmember Pust suggested that, since an actual application was not current- ly before the City Council on which to base their discussion and consider a spe- cific example, any action be deferred until a better context was available in which to frame this discussion and decision-making. Councilmember Willmus advised that, going forward, he was not opposed to looking at refinements as recommended by staff; however, he suggested looking at this in a broader view and revisiting what the City hoped to achieve and other things identified in the Comprehensive Plan guidance and Zoning Code practi- cal application that may need revisiting all at once. Councilmember Willmus advised that he also had concerns with the Community Mixed use as currently worded; opining that he was unsure if staff was applying that use in the intended direction. While not wanting to totally deny this request, Councilmember Willmus advised that this request did not work for him as presented. Councilmember McGehee suggested that a business seeking to expand their use come before the City Council requesting a Conditional Use; to which Mr. Paschke advised that this was not an option as it was restricted not only by City Code,but by State Law. At the request of Councilmember Pust, Mr. Paschke noted that there was not critical time issues on this request, as no applications were currently pending. Pust moved, Johnson seconded, TABLING this item to a date uncertain for fur- ther discussion. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Johnson; Pust; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. Staff duly noted Mayor Roe's request that, when the item appeared before the Council in the future, a copy of the Comprehensive Plan description of Regional Business, and that the Zoning Code Charts outlining uses be included as part of the agenda packet at that time. b. Adopt an Ordinance Creating a Zoning Code Definition for Limited Ware- housing and Distribution Based on the previous discussion, Pust moved, McGehee seconded, TABLING this item to a date uncertain for further discussion.
