July 3, 1984
The regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was
called to order by Chairman Jack Sargent at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday,
July 3, 1984 in the City Council Chambers.
ROLL CALL. Members in attendance were Henry Czech, Adelbert
Evans, Debbie Gaines, Marie McKinney, Nick Jones, Pat Parker,
Jack Sargent and James Shepherd. Absent was Bob Thompson.
Also in attendance were City Manager George Forbes and Planning
and Zoning Technician Marilyn George.
MINUTES of the regular meeting held June 5, 1984 and the workshop
meeting held June 19, 1984 were approved as presented.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Mr. Sargent described the request by
Mr. Ed Augustine for an amendment to his 1982 Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) to allow light retail sales from some of the office
units at 1153 Tenth Street.
The City Manager explained that the offices had been intended
for occupants such as contractors, who would use both storage
areas and office space in their businesses. He expressed con-
cern that light retail use would create parking problems, since
there are eight offices and only about ten parking spaces. He
stated that traffic-intensive uses should be avoided.
Mr. Augustine mentioned that several types of light retail or
personal service establishments would not cause too much traffic
for the site. He suggested shoe repair, photo and dry cleaning
shops as suitable, and stated that in addition to the twelve
parking spaces now available, more spaces could be placed in
fro~it of the storage units .
A lengthy discussion ensued, during which a definition of "light
retail" was sought, and types of personal service establishment
were considered. It was decided to have the City Attorney make
a determination of whether the CUP runs with the land.
A motion was made by Mr. Jones and seconded by Mrs. Gaines THAT
TT BE RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL TO GRANT THE AMENDMENT TO
RESOLUTION 398 (Mr. Augustine`s CUP) TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING
STATEMENT: "ONLY MINI-WAREHOUSES, OFFICES AND LIGHT RETAIL BUSI-
NESS SHALL BE PERMITTED. ALL OFFICE AND LIGHT RETAIL SALES USES
MUST BE CONFINED TO ONE OF THE EIGHT EXISTING OFFICE UNITS.
BUSINESSES WHICH CREATE A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC, SUCH AS
MINT-MARKETS, LIQUOR STORES, BARBER AND BEAUTY SHOPS, DRY CLEAN-
ERS, RESTAURANTS, LAUNDROMATS, DANCE STUDIOS AND AUTOMOTIVE
SERVICES ARE PROHIBITED. THE DEFINITION FOR AUTOMOTIVE SER-
VICES SHALL BE DETERMINED AS LISTED IN THE C-2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL
ZONING CLASSIFICATION. ONLY WALL SIGNS SHALL BE ALLOWED TO
IDENTIFY THESE BUSINESS USES." Mr. Evans requested that the
motion be amended to include a change to Condition No. 4 of
Resolution 398 to begin A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT FOR LEASING OF
EACH UNIT MUST BE....rather than "A copy of the lease agreement
for storage units must be..." The amendment to the motion was
accepted by the maker and the second. The amended motion was
passed by unanimous vote.
REZONING REQUEST. Mr.
had requested that the
subdivision be rezoned
R-3 Residential/Profes
bedroom apartments and
on the site.
Sargent explained that Mr. Steven J. Richey
west 306 feet of Tracts 2 and 3, Oakhurst
from R-1 Single Family Residential to
sional so that 24 one-bedroom and 24 two-
their accessory buildings may be built

The City Manager discussed this request as it relates to the
Comprehensive Plan (see material submitted to P & Z members),
and mentioned that the sewer treatment plant is nearing capacity,
and that the State D.E.R. has stated that it will not approve
extension of sewer lines in the City. He suggested that there
were three possible options in acting on this request:
1. Deny this request without prejudicE~until work on the
Comprehensive Plan is complete.
2. Grant this request if it is believed that it would be
consistent with the standards of the Comprehensive
Plan.
3. Deny this request if it does not meet the standards
of the Plan.
Mr. Bill Stone spoke for the applicant, stating that the appli-
cation seems to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr.
Richey, in answer to a question, said that there are no plans
to request rezoning of the east half of Tracts 2 and 3, and that
he is interested in selling that portion. He stated that he
will request a Conditional Use Permit in the future because of
the density of the development.
After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Evans, and
seconded by Mr. Shepherd THAT IT BE RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL
TO DELAY ACTION ON THIS REQUEST WITHOUT PREJUDICE UNTIL THE
REVISION OF THE COMPREHENSIT~7E PLAN IS COMPLETED.
There followed a lengthy discussion concerning sewer plant capa-
city. Mr. Forbes explained that the DER will re-rate the sewer
plant capacity, and that this may be done before the sewer plant
expansion is completed. Mr. Richey stated that he would not be
able to pursue this project if it is delayed because FmHA has a
timetable he must meet and time is running short.
The vote on the motion was as follows: Aye; Evans, Gaines,
McKinney, Parker, Sargent and Shepherd. Nay; Czech and Jones.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
8:55 p.m.
