PERMITTED LAND USE DISCUSSION - LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND RIVERFRONT ZONING DISTRICTS
COUNCIL INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
- Preserve and enhance neighborhoods
- Strengthen economic conditions and create new opportunities
- Address quality of place
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Council and staff have recently been approached by some property owners concerned that certain land uses are not permitted in the Light Industrial and Riverfront zoning districts. The city has a process in place to allow proposed changes to our zoning code to be considered by the Planning Commission as part of a public hearing process with the ultimate decision determined by City Council. One of the property owners that initially approached the city has since applied for a zoning text change to the LI-A Light Industrial Zoning District, which will be before the Planning Commission on May 7, 2014.
The purpose of this workshop will be to provide background information to the Council and discuss permitted land uses in the LI-A/LI-B Light Industrial and RF-1 Riverfront zoning districts.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Provide direction to staff based on the outcome of the discussion
