Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 27, 2017 Page 12 cerned as the area essentially is developing with current uses; and the reason he initially supported allowing it in this area was that it was already happening, with that use not harming development in other parcels at Council Road C. With his suggestion for office/business park-2 designation, Councilmember Etten noted that it allowed those uses to continue in the peripheries of that zone and allow tra- ditional uses that served the community and area well, including business opera- tions that supported other uses. Councilmember Etten suggested revising Table 1006-1 to add a separate column for office/business park-2, with current uses as currently shown for office/business park except that outdoor storage and fleet ve- hicles would move to conditional, making outdoor storage and fleet vehicles not automatically permitted, requiring conditional use approval for both. Councilmember McGehee stated that she was happy to not have either permitted in light industrial designated areas. Mayor Roe opined that if the intent was to consider the two-pronged approach for office/business park designated areas, that consideration should return to the Planning Commission for their review and discussion, along with a formal public hearing; designating which actual areas for which designation, 1 or 2. As it related to outdoor storage, Mr. Paschke noted that in 2013, the City Council previously discussed this and a code amendment was created permitting where outdoor storage was or was not permitted, or where conditional approval was re- quired for consistency purposes with the activities actually happening in those ar- eas at that time. Discussion ensued regarding areas along the railroad tracks on either side of Oak- crest and County Road C; and consideration of an area within Fairview, Cleve- land and Oakcrest Avenues and County Road C, including properties on the south side as well. Councilmember Willmus reiterated that not allowing limited contractor yards in the Centre Pointe area was a significant issue for him; and agreed with not making a decision tonight. Mayor Roe clarified that there was no decision being made on the Centre Pointe PUD tonight with this requested action; as staff had previously been directed to return with a revised or new PUD for that area. Councilmember Willmus stated his understanding, but expressed concern that if this designation changed, other areas within the broader geographic scope would also change; and reiterated his interest in two separate and distinct office/business park designations.
