Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
14 May 1980
The Commission was questioned by Mr. Licht as to their opinion on making contact. with
freeway property owners to advise them of the proposed "Interstate Corridor District"
provisions. This had been a commitment made by the Commission to these owners during
the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan-Policy Plan/Development Framework.. The
consensus of the Commission was to advise these property owners in writing of .the
regulations under consideration and to invite these persons to the special Planning
Commission meeting on 29 May at 7:00 p.m, to express what concerns or raise issues
which they may have.
The City Planner advised the Commission that Mr. Knutson had recommended that the
revised sign ordinance be adopted by the City in conjunction with the revised zoning
ordinance and map. The rationale for his position was that the sign ordinance is now
part of the zoning ordinance and if they were not addressed simultaneously the City would
be without sign controls.
The Commission continued its review of the revised. zoning ordinance (third. draft}beginning
with page 46 and addressing the specific zoning district categories. General attention
was directed to each district with a description of its purpose and relationship to the
existing ordinance. Detailed attention was given to:
1 . A proposed addition to the draft revision to include. a single family zone. permitting
development at a 7,500 square foot lot size.. This would parallel the existing R-1D
District.
