OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Chairperson Greg Fargen called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order on
Tuesday, September 4, 2018, at 5:30 PM in the Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of the City &
County Government Center. Members present were James Drew, Alan Johnson, Charles Siver, Kristi
Tornquist, Eric Rasmussen, Lee Ann Pierce and Fargen. Absent were Tanner Aiken and Gregg
Jorgenson. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard, Community Development Director Mike
Struck, Wade Price, Lyle Anderson, Ryan Krogman, and others.
Item #4a — This preliminary plat is for four residential lots and 5 additional blocks for future
development. This property is located south of 201h Street South and west of 22"d Ave S. Ace Avenue
is the street that is platted to run north/south through this development, but it is not yet built.
Preliminary drawings show that Lot 6 will be a future drainage pond. The Major Street Plan shows a
street connection through this area to 22"d Avenue South for better connectivity and to provide another
east -west route. This street would be 22nd Street S.
Rasmussen asked Mr. Price if the requirement of the 22"d Street S. extension showing on the plat was
an issue. Price stated "not at this time."
Tornquist wondered if the runoff would go directly into the trailer court located to the east of this
development. Lanning stated that at this time the city doesn't have drainage details regarding the
outlet structure, but that will be obtained at the final drainage study phase. Price indicated that the
water will drain to the south and west.
Item #5a— This property is located on the corner of 22"d Avenue South and Yd Street. The applicant
has requested to rezone to the B -2A district, but staff felt that an RB -4 zoning would also be fitting as
both of these districts are designed to be compatible with nearby residential development. However,
upon further investigation, this residence would move into nonconforming status because residential
structures in the RB -4 district are only allowed along a local street. The RB -4 District requires a 20
foot landscape buffer when located adjacent to residential districts and the B -2A district requires a 25
foot buffer. Both districts are designed to be compatible with nearby residential development, but the
RB -4 District is specifically designed to allow flexibility by allowing residential or limited commercial
along arterial and collector streets.
Pierce asked what the permitted uses were in a B -2A district compared to RB -4. The RB -4 allows for
the permitted uses in the R-3 district, as long as one of the frontages shall abut upon a local street.
Because Yd Street is a collector street, then there are no R-3 permitted uses that would qualify.
Tornquist asked if then only the RB -4 permitted uses would apply and not the R-3 uses. Bungard
stated yes, because the R-3 District uses referenced in the RB -4 District would need to abut a local
street.
Tornquist asked if the petitioners had a preference between the B -2A and RB -4 District. Mr. Anderson
stated that they didn't have a preference either way. Fargen asked if the staff had a preference. Struck
stated that since this isn't located on a local street, they are limited. He feels that the B -2A would be
more fitting for this neighborhood. One use in the RB -4 district is a gas station and Struck doesn't feel
that this would be fitting for the area. However, a mixed use project could be looked at through the
Conditional Use process.
Pierce asked for clarification between the two districts setbacks. B -2A requires a 25 foot landscaped
area that doesn't allow for any structures, access drives or parking lots. The RB -4 requires a 20 foot
landscape buffer. Pierce wondered if the screening requirement pertained to both districts or just the
RB -4 District. Struck explained that in any residential districts and in the RB -4 Neighborhood
Business District, if a use requires 8 or more parking spaces, such parking should be screened from
single family and two family uses by shrubs or berms or by a wall or fence approved by the
Community Development Department. Bungard explained that the uses in the B -2A district are more
compatible to the residential district.
Pierce is concerned that the setbacks might become a problem and someone wouldn't be able to build a
viable building after the zoning is implemented. Struck explained that the setbacks actually are the
same distance, one district is 25 foot front and rear yard setback and the other district is 20 foot front
yard and 30 foot rear yard setbacks.
Krogman noted that as a neighbor, they would like the uses to remain similar to what is in the area.
Rasmussen agrees that the B -2A District would be a better fit for this neighborhood.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:07p.m.
