Regular Meeting of the City Council July 8, 2002 Page 11 property, other than for the tower, to be used for industrial purposes, and this protects the property owners. City Attorney Schenk said Mr. Methven is suggesting that, if the City Council was inclined to allow this tower to go here, that the preferred approach would be to change the tower ordinance to allow a tower to be located in a Planned Development C(PD-c) Industrial Park designation since this is the only property currently in the city that carries this particular zoning designation. As a consequence, you do not change the protective measures in the ordinance on the current zoning for this classification in terms of the industrial use that you would have, you would just change the zoning. At the same time, that would allow the tower to be located, but still subj ect to the setback requirements, and that is going to have to come back to the City Council separately, if and when Mr. Methven denies it anyway, on an appeal for them to decide what to do with that portion regarding the setbacks. He stated that one of the things Council can do on an appeal such as that, is effectively grant the appeal, which is the same thing as a variance, on this particular site by making the proper findings that are necessary and appropriate in an engineering sense. Ms. Bodie advised that they were not opposed to that and they have submitted the request for the appeal. No one else appeared and the public hearing was declared closed. Mayor Pfiester called for consideration of and action on an ordinance amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, changing the zoning from a Planned Development District (PD) to a Light Industrial District (LI) at 3720 Lamar Avenue. A motion was made by Councilman Bell to deny passage of the ordinance amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, changing the zoning from Planned Development District (PD) to a Light Industrial District (LI) at 3720 Lamar Avenue; and to authorize amending the Tower Ordinance to include Planned Development C(PD-c) Industrial Park Zoning, as a permissible area for a tower. The motion was seconded by Councilman Weekly and carried 6 ayes, 0 nays.
