Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 13, 2010 Page 24 111 10 Mayor Klausing advised that he had a philosophical problem applying different standards. Councilmember Roe suggested that this may be a case where we need to apply consistent minimum standards into effect, along with implementing the Parks Master Plan, and remold the process accordingly through practical application. Councilmember Roe opined that he didn't see these minimum standards as being terribly restrictive, with language adjusted to address many of the concerns of the Commission. Discussion ensued related to the need to remain cognizant of the 60 -day land use review requirements; with clarification that the review by the Parks and Recreation Commission needed to be done prior to submission of the formal ap- plication process. 1009. Procedures (1009.02 Conditional Uses: B. Applications, second sentence) Pust moved, Roe seconded, to direct staff to add language to page 5 of the De- cember 1, 2010 draft as follows: [For applications that pertain to Conditional Uses involving city -owned land in Parks and Recreation Districts, the application shall initially be reviewed for recommendation by the Parks and Recreation Commission prior to formal application submittal.] Complete applications shall be reviewed..." Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Johnson; Pust; Roe; and Klausing. Nays: None. Har Mar Area Adopting Zoning Map Mr. Paschke clarified that the only way to modify the zoning was to amend the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Klausing spoke in support of rezoning to Community Business; correcting the zoning to be consistent with the proposed use. Mayor Klausing opined that the limited use and buffer zone as previously addressed were straightforward and would provide protection to the residents. Councilmember Johnson noted that he was torn, given his previous discussions with neighbors and the distinct impressions they had from the August of 2010 meeting for preservation of the existing buffer; and the City Council's attempt to reconcile that with zoning and Comprehensive Plan guidance while still protect- ing the residents. Councilmember Johnson sought more compelling comment from Council colleagues to give residents more peace of mind.
