He reviewed the permitted uses and the prohibited uses that the planning commission had suggested at their last discussion. The area between Highway 5 and the railroad will be zoned B-2, Highway Business Services District. The Planning Commission discussed the percentage of greenspace that should be required per lot. Conrad indicated that 80% coverage on a smaller lot would make sence but in an industrial lot, 80% coverage would be a pretty large building. Martin stated that industrial cannot be made to look like residential. If the Planning Commission states that 50% of an industrial lot would have to be greenspace, that would create a hardship for the developer, it would be rendering half of his property useless. Martin suggested 30% greenspace. Conrad, Watson and Partridge stated that that sounded reasonable. Martin explained the B-1, Neighborhood Business District to the planning Commission. Martin asked what type of uses and restrictions would they like to see in the B-1 District? . Watson suggested that B-1 be kept low profile, there should be height restrictions (single story) larger setbacks, multi- use buildings, all signs wallmounted, restrictions on hours of business, and lights should not be facing the residential section.
