Ordinance - Third and Final Reading of an Ordinance Approving a Change of Zoning from C-2 Community Business District to PD Planned Development District for Mobile Food Unit Sales, Outdoor Dining, Outdoor Stage/live Entertainment, Bar, Special Event, and Office Uses on Approximately 0.7495 Acres Located at 107 Walnut Street; Shane Farrar of Open Range Properties (ZC#18-007)
Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.
Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on June 4, 2018, and voted 6 - 0 to deny (Smithee was absent). The Commission expressed concerns relating to: not providing a masonry wall adjacent to single-family occupied homes; the distance from the church on First Street; the lack of parking; felt outdoor entertainment was unrealistic; doesn’t meet the fire lane, fire hydrant, or access requirements; lack of clarification regarding various elements of the plan as detailed in the staff report; thought it was a good idea but was rather ambiguous and didn’t provide enough detail; need a mobile food unit ordinance in place before approving one site; safety; and most concerned about sound, stage, and lack of parking.
