OTHER BUSINESS
Commissioner Mathews asked the Commission to ask the City Planning Commission
to delay their consideration on an upcoming request for a conditional use permit for a used car lot
downtown.
Dennis Kissinger, City Manager, said he understood the request of the citizens was
that the Commission take action to rescind a prior ordinance and to ask that another text change
ordinance be prepared and placed before the Commission.
After a discussion with Roy Dudark, Director of Planning and Community
Development, Mr. Kissinger recommended a motion to ask the Planning Commission to consider
an additional text change which considers changing back the prior action on conditional use
permits in C-4, and request that the Planning Commission not hear conditional use applications
during that period until the issue is ultimately resolved by the City Commission and the Planning
Commission.
Commission Mathews so moved.
Commissioner Jilka stated he would only be able to support a motion to ask the
Planning Commission to put the matter on hold while the B.I.D. continues talks among itself.
Commissioner Seaton, seconded the motion to, in effect, request the Planning
Commission make a textual amendment to existing conditional uses for C-4 which would in
effect, perhaps, rescind the previous action of this body and further request the Planning
Commission put on hold any measures brought before them that would somehow be impacted by
that ordinance.
Mayor Shadwick and Commissioner Heath spoke in support of the motion.
