Attachment A ЋАЏ for that area defining what could or could not occur in a CMU District. However, Mr. Bilotta noted that ЋАА as a result of that planning exercise, the City Council may decide to rezone the area to something other ЋАБ than CMU that may require a regulating plan as well; or other zoning districts indicated for those areas ЋАВ or a part of those areas, or they could stay HDR, even though he didn't anticipate that happening. At ЋБЉ that point in time, Mr. Bilotta advised that the neighborhood and property owners would have a good ЋБЊ idea of why things are as they are, and key pieces would be identified, how they were defined in a plan, ЋБЋ and an understanding of what impacted that decision making with all parties clearly heard. Mr. Bilotta ЋБЌ opined this process would be good for the planning process for property owners and the neighborhood ЋБЍ to understand the overall vision and plan. ЋБЎ At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Bilotta advised that there was no reason that both processes could not ЋБЏ go on concurrently; but that the text amendment process would be pursued by staff no matter the results ЋБА of the second process. ЋББ At the request of Ms. McCormick, Mr. Bilotta confirmed that the public hearing for the text amendment ЋБВ would be held at the October 8, 2014 Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Bilotta clarified that Vogel ЋВЉ Sheetmetal could not apply for an extended Interim Use Permit until the text amendment was approved; ЋВЊ and further that the Planning Commission could not make any recommendation regarding the length of ЋВЋ an Interim Use Permit beyond what was contained in current code. Mr. Bilotta noted that the part that ЋВЌ can proceed ahead of this proposed process is consideration of the text amendment, but not anything ЋВЍ specifically related to the Vogel request for a longer-term Interim Use Permit; but would eventually ЋВЎ work into that approval process with relevant information from the neighborhood meetings as proposed. ЋВЏ At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Bilotta advised that a CMU zoning request had been received by staff ЋВА from Vogel Sheetmetal, but had not been formally reviewed by staff at this time. ЋВБ In expressing his concern with a twenty-year Interim Use (IU) Permit, Councilmember Willmus asked ЋВВ for an explanation of the process staff would pursue even at five year increments if noncompliance was ЌЉЉ found. ЌЉЊ Mr. Bilotta responded that, if it was found they were not meeting the conditions of the IU, the City had ЌЉЋ the ability to revoke it through a process to the City Council with evidence from staff of noncompliance ЌЉЌ and a subsequent determination, through a public hearing, to allow input from the property owner and ЌЉЍ community. ЌЉЎ Councilmember Willmus questioned if this process would be prolonged with attorney involvement ЌЉЏ versus simply having a five year IU that could lapse without renewal, providing for no discussion and ЌЉА no debate. Councilmember Willmus noted his concern in the difference in a five year IU citywide ЌЉБ versus a reactionary IU extended up to twenty years for one case or situation, especially when that ЌЉВ situation was immediately abutting residential properties. ЌЊЉ Mayor Roe noted tonight’s discussion revolving around the text amendment was to address any future ЌЊЊ application that came forward. ЌЊЋ Mr. Bilotta clarified that it may be that the City Council doesn’t approve a particular IU beyond five ЌЊЌ years, but this text amendment allowed them the flexibility to do so at their discretion. ЌЊЍ Councilmember Laliberte concurred with Councilmember Willmus; opining that in the course of daily ЌЊЎ business, she could not see the need for a twenty year CU beyond this issue; and no need to make a ЌЊЏ change based on one situation. ЌЊА Mayor Roe further noted that, under the existing IU, if there was a change of zoning and the Vogel ЌЊБ Sheetmetal operation became a permitted use under that rezoning, there would no longer be a need for ЌЊВ an IU and it could lapse at that point. ЌЋЉ Councilmember Willmus noted this assumed rezoning would be approved. ЌЋЊ Mayor Roe noted that this is why it was written as a condition of the IU.
