Beginning promptly at the 3:30 scheduled time for his Zoning & Annexation Committee,
Chairperson Dr. Fred Ferlic noted three numbers present constituting a quorum.
Bill No. 16 -13, a request to re -zone and provide special exceptions to property at 3527
and 3529 W. Western Av. Was first on the agenda.
At Dr. Ferlic's request Christa Nayder reported a favorable recommendation from the
Area Plan Commission.
Representing the petitioner, Mike Danch reported that the petitioners had met with the
neighborhood organization as requested by the Council hoping to win their favor.
Unfortunately for the petitioner some, residents were still opposed to a convenience store
with two gas pumps. Mike said even though the petitioner was willing to submit eight
commitments regarding hours of operation, security, and goods sold among the eight, the
residents were intractable in their opposition. Danch also reminded the Council that the
commitments run with the land.
In the Council portion Valerie Schey reported that "calls for service" from the SBPD had
gone down over the past few years. Derek Dieter asked who and how the commitments
would be enforced. Karen White asked how the Community Investment Department felt.
Representing them. Mike Divita, said the City was opposed. Oliver Davis proposed a
staging of operations; but Mike Danch said that would add to the expense and left two
much in question. Henry Davis wondered if the City had attempted to work with the
owner toward relocation. While needing investment and job creation, Henry said CI had
again dropped the ball missing a plan of development for the corridor. Dr. Fred Ferlic
asked if the City had a place? Jitin Cain, form Cl, said a plan was taking form.
In the public portion, Herbert Miller said he supports the mini -mart, claiming the
neighborhood organization doesn't speak for everyone.
At that juncture Oliver Davis motioned for no recommendation to full Council. Kyle
Chamberlin seconded and all agreed.
The next item, a bill to rezone and provide special exceptions fora car sales lot at 3801
W. Western.
Dr. Ferlic called upon Christa Nayder who reported a favorable recommendation from
Area Plan.
Kimberly Clendenin, representing the petitioner provided a new site plant (A copy is on
file in the Office of the City Clerk.)
In the Council portion Henry Davis spoke in support of the bill citing increases in taxes
and jobs.
After brief discussion. Oliver Davis moved to amend the bill by the addition of the new
site plan. Henry Davis seconded and all affirmed. For favorable recommendation Henry
motioned. Oliver seconded and all agreed.
Bill No. 26 -13 the next agenda item, was a change in the Planned Unit Development
(PUD) language. Proposed and presented by the Community Investment Department, it
was said to be a boom to development making the development process smoother. The
bill gained an endorsement from John Phair of Holladay Properties. Henry Davis
suggested a separate time to have a thorough PUD workshop.
Ultimately Kyle Chamberlin motioned. Oliver Davis seconded a favorable
recommendation to full Council. All affirmed.
Larry Magliozzi from Area Plan Commission wanted the Council to consider five text
changes in the zoning ordinance to reflect "real world" changes since the texts were
revised over ten years before. He however, deferred in the interests of time.
There being no further business to come before the Committee at this time, Chairperson
Dr. Fred Ferlic adjourned the meeting at 4:16 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
i
Dr. Fred Ferlic, Chairperson
Zoning & Annexation Committee
