SUBJ: Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Section 20 -712, Concerning Allowed Uses in
1 the BH, Highway and Business District
I The Zoning Ordinance allows automobile serviq$ g within enclosed structures designed for
the purpose where fuel is not dispensed as a p , `tted use in the BH District. The zoning
ordinance also permits auto service centers asAf coiditional use in the BH District. An auto
service center is defined as an integrated groti of u ; ��mmercial establishments or single
I establishment planned, developed, and managed as 1 ,mit with off - street parking provided on-
site and providing uses engaged primarily iii the supplying of goods and services generally
I required in the operation and maintenance.of motor viili These may include sale and
servicing of tires, batteries, automotive essories, repcement items, washing and
lubricating services, and the performance of minor motor maintenance and repair. This does
I not include major body repair where-it is necessary to provide long term storage of cars and
body parts.
1Y :
We find these sections to be c and this could lead to a loss of control over this type
of development. Staff.does not object to having auto service:.uses in the BH District.
However, I believe we would - nornuilly :want to .e*ereise- he .additional control that would be
1 afforded as a conditional use .rather than a permitted, uses _ erefore,, we are recommending
that auto service centers as a permitted use be eliminated.

Planning Commission Meeting
July 1, 1992 - Page 50
I Krauss: But the issues that we deal with are pretty complex. I don't
know, sometimes I get accused of making things more complex than they need
to be but I find that if I'm not, it comes back to haunt us later on. When
you do that, you risk not seeing the forest through the trees or however
that analogy is supposed to go, and it's useful for me to hear, you know
you missed this. You've got to beef this up. Citizens raise these
concerns. Some are legitimate. Some have to be responded to whether
I they're legitimate or not. And these are the answers that you've got to
bring forward to tie up all the loose ends. Then we know exactly what we
need to do.
' Batzli: And here's a test. City Council members, if you're reading these
Minutes, give me a phone call.
1 Erhart: You've got $100.00 for every one that calls you.
Batzli: Okay, so we'll see. Now don't you tip them off.
1 Conrad: Plus, have you ever tried to read Minutes and get a consensus?
Batzli: It's very difficult to read through these verbatim Minutes.
I Conrad: You can't get an idea what. You know you say some off the wall
things about Communism. They don't...
' Batzli: I yearn for those days.
Conrad: I know. Those were the good days. It's just hard for them to get
a feel. I've always wanted to condense.
Erhart: Maybe we shouldn't have verbatim Minutes anymore. When I started
I we didn't have them. If nobody reads them. If nobody reads them, why do
we do verbatim Minutes?
Batzli: Because we use them for the record later on.
Erhart: If nobody reads them, who needs them?
Batzli: Well we do read them later on. I mean later on, when this project
blows up. We pull out the Minutes. We say, well what did this guy.
' Farmakes: 10 years from now they know who to blame for the problem.
Batzli: Your 5 minutes are up. But I agree. To the extent that we can
' shorten and/or otherwise reduce our time before the mics, we'll do that.
PUBLIC HEARING:
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO AMEND THE CITY CODE, CHAPTER 20. CONCERNING
1 ALLOWED USES IN THE BH.. HIGHWAY AND BUSINESS DISTRICT.
Paul Krauss' presented the staff report on this item. Chairman Batzli

Batzli: Really, really old business. This isn't a public hearing or
anything right? 1
Krauss: Well actually, you've always continued the public hearings.
Batzli: Okay. Well, is there, there's no one here to address us. The
record should reflect that. Is there a motion to close the continued
public hearing?
