Comprehensive Plan Amendment Discussion
The property was listed as Institutional in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan since at the time, city hall was located there. The 2030 Comp Plan contemplated that the site would be redeveloped and should have reflected the land use on the adjacent prosperities.
Rezoning Considerations
The City Council may grant a zoning ordinance amendment when it finds that one or more of the following criteria exists:
1. The original zoning ordinance was in error.
2. Significant changes in goals in community goals and policies have taken place.
3. Significant changes in city-wide or neighborhood development patterns have occurred.
4. The Comprehensive Plan requires another provision.
The property is properly zoned as B3 but is not properly guided given that the institutional use, city hall, is no longer located at the site. The guiding should be changed to reflect the guiding of the surrounding area which is used for commercial purposes. The surrounding property is guided as Mixed Use land use.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend to the City Council that the property be reguided to Mixed Use land use.
