GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY 13TH MEETING OF THE BLOOMINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION. THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS MADE UP OF SEVEN MEMBERS.
WE HAVE FIVE HERE IN THE CHAMBERS AND WE HAVE ONE REMOTE THIS EVENING MEMBERS APPOINTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND EACH VOLUNTEER MEMBER
VOLUNTEERS THEIR TIME AND IS A BLOOMINGTON RESIDENT. THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS ADVISORY TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR MOST ITEMS THE PLANNING COMMISSION MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL HAS THE FINAL DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY. WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE ITEMS THIS EVENING. THERE ARE CERTAIN APPLICATIONS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION CAN APPROVE OR DENY ON ITS OWN
SUBJECT TO APPEAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THERE ARE NO ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA FOR THAT THIS EVENING FOR EACH ITEM THERE WILL BE A STAFF REPORT THEN A
CHANCE THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK THEN, A CHANCE FOR ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY. AFTER ALL TESTIMONY IS GIVEN
THEN THE COMMISSION WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND DISCUSS ITEM BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN. THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS TONIGHT IS THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. PLEASE STAND YOU'RE ABLE TO
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC WHICH STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL. ALL RIGHT. FIRST ITEM THIS EVENING DOES HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AS I MENTIONED EARLIER.
IT IS FOR THE RAINBOW PLACE SYSTEMS REGARDING AND REZONING AT 900 WEST 80TH STREET AND PLANNER KARSTEN DAY.
YOU HAVE THE STAFF REPORT IT. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. PLANNING COMMISSION AS MENTIONED. I'LL JUST PROVIDE SOME HIGHLIGHTS HERE ON PLANNING
CASE 25 2020 5-24A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING.
WE'LL SEE IF THE WILL ADVANCE . ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PARCEL AT 900 WEST 80TH STREET AND CURRENTLY A3 WHICH IS
GENERAL INDUSTRY AND THEN GUIDED INDUSTRIAL. ALL THIS IS JUST UP HERE TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT IN CASE YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF LYNDALE
AND AMERICAN BOULEVARD AND THEN ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS LOCATION, THE RCI COMPLEX AND THEN THE 700 AMERICAN
PROJECT FROM THE HRA THERE. BUT THIS IS JUST AN AERIAL VIEW AGAIN JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE SITE THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO IF NEEDED AND
THEN A STREET VIEW PICTURE FROM MARRICKVILLE BOULEVARD TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE BUILDING. SO IT'S A SINGLE LEVEL INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AND SO THE
REQUEST IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING SO JUST WANTED TO START OF WHY IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A PERMIT AND REZONING AND I GUESS AT THE OF THE ISSUE IS
THAT THE APPLICANT IS WANTING TO OPERATE A USE THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY PERMITTED IN THE A3 ZONING DISTRICT AND SO WE TRY TO WORK WITH APPLICANTS AND GET COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING
CODE AND SO THERE'S KIND OF A NUMBER OF OPTIONS TO DO THAT SO YOU CAN EITHER STOP THE USE AT THE CURRENT LOCATION, RELOCATE TO ANOTHER NEW LOCATION WHERE THAT USES PERMITTED REASON TO A ZONING
DISTRICT THAT ALLOWS THE USE OR AMEND THE ZONING CODE PERMIT THE USE IN THE UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICT KIND OF TALKING WITH THE APPLICANT YOU KNOW THEY'RE INTEREST IN STAYING AT THE LOCATION THAT THEY'RE AND
THROUGH SOME DISCUSSIONS KIND OF ADVISE THEM MORE OF THE REZONING ROUTE VERSUS PRIVATELY INITIATED CODE AMENDMENT THAT WOULD KIND OF INVOLVE A BROADER POLICY
DISCUSSION ABOUT ALL OF THE PARCELS IN THE THREE ZONING DISTRICTS OF THIS REZONING KIND OF JUST BRINGS IT IN TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC CASE AND THEIR SPECIFIC SITES.
SOME ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND ON HOW WE'VE GOT TO THIS POINT. THE FIRE PREVENTION BACK IN SEPTEMBER HAD NOTIFIED BOTH THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
DIVISION AND PLANNING DIVISION I'M AROUND SOME LIFE SAFETY CONCERNS OF AN INDOOR PLAY PARK KIND OF OPERATING IN THEIR SHOWROOM AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE HISTORY OF THIS
SITE THERE WAS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ISSUED HERE BACK IN 1998 THAT ALLOWED FOR THE SHOWROOM AND RETAIL SALE OF OUTDOOR PLAY EQUIPMENT AND
STAFF INTERPRETED THAT THE COPY WAS ONLY VALID FOR THE RETAIL SALE OF OUTDOOR PLAY EQUIPMENT AND NOT FOR PRIVATE PARTIES AND PLAY SESSIONS AND INTERPRET THAT AS AN INDOOR
RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT USE WHICH IS NOT CURRENTLY IN H3. SO THE FIRE PREVENTION ENVIRONMENTAL AND THE PLANNING DIVISION HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT AGAIN TO GET THEM INTO COMPLIANCE.
SO THEY'VE THEY HAVE DONE SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THE INTERIOR TO BE FIRE CODE COMPLIANT. THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TEAM HAS ISSUED SOME ADMINISTRATIVE
CITATIONS FOR OPERATING THE USE THAT'S NOT ALLOWED AND THEN THAT ENFORCEMENT ACTION HAS SINCE BEEN PAUSED ONCE WE RECEIVED THIS DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION AS A POTENTIAL ROUTE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.
SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND HERE. THIS IS THE SHOWROOM PLAN THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. KIND OF SHOWS YOU SOME OF THE
DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAVE OUT AND THIS THE SPACE THAT WOULD BE USED FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES OR PRIVATE PLAY SESSIONS SO THEY SELL, YOU KNOW, KIND OF OUTDOOR LIKE
SLIDES AND SWING SETS AND THOSE ARE THOSE KINDS OF THINGS YOU'D TYPICALLY SEE IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME IN LIKE THEIR BACKYARD OR SOMETHING. SO THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF THEIR THEIR MODELS OUT IN THE SHOWROOM FOR PEOPLE TO KIND
OF TEST OUT AND PLAY AS A AS A WAY TO KIND OF SELL THEIR PRODUCT PRODUCT. SO JUST WANTED TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT CONSIDERATIONS I PUT THE DISCRETION TRIANGLE THAT I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE CORNER FOR BOTH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING TONIGHT
YOU ARE OPERATING IN A MORE LEGISLATIVE SIDE OF CREATING POLICY VERSUS KIND OF APPLYING POLICY TO A SITE PLAN. AND SO IN THOSE CASES YOU DO HAVE MORE DISCRETION IN THE DECISION THAT YOU HAVE AND SO
THERE'S NOT REALLY SET FINDINGS IN CODE LIKE THERE IS FOR A SITE PLAN OR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND JUST SOME GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT TO MAKE
IN DECISION. AND SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF JUST HIGHLIGHTED AS WE WERE THINKING ABOUT THEIR PROPOSAL ONE THE THIS PROPERTY
IS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2014 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A TRANSITIONAL INDUSTRIAL AREA WHICH ALLOWS FOR A KIND OF ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS TO LOOK AT RE GUIDING AND REZONING AND
IT'S NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT PROTECTED INDUSTRIAL AREA AND THEY CAN SHOW THE MAP IN A SECOND IS YOU'LL SEE PARTICULARLY IN THE CURRENT ZONING MAP FOR THIS AREA
THERE'S VARIETY OF USES IN ZONING DISTRICTS AROUND THIS PROPERTY AS WELL AS ALONG THE AMERICAN BOULEVARD CORRIDOR AS THINGS CONTINUE TO REDEVELOP WE JUST SEE A PRETTY
WIDE MIX OF INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE USES ALONG THE BOULEVARD INDOOR RECREATION USES IT CURRENTLY IN OUR
CODE OR MORE ALIGNED WITH A COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT AND THUS WOULD NEED SOME KIND OF COMMERCIAL GUIDANCE. WE WERE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL FOR THIS SITE AS IT DOESN'T
HAVE DIRECT VISIBILITY OFF OF 494 AND THIS PARCEL QUITE LARGE ENOUGH TO ON ITS OWN MEET MORE OF THOSE KIND OF BIG BOX OR REGIONAL COMMERCIAL
THAT THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL KIND OF CALLS FOR AND SO THAT WAS OF OUR REASONING BEHIND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL. I HAVE A SLIDE ON THE LYNDALE
AVE SUBURBAN RETROFIT PLAN AS WELL BUT THEY HAD SO THERE ARE INDOOR RECREATION USES ALLOWED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT BUT THERE'S SOME SPECIFIC LANGUAGE
IN OUR CODE THAT THOSE ARE REALLY MEANT FOR PARCELS THAT HAVE DIRECT TO LYNDALE AVE SO THIS IS CERTAINLY ADJACENT TO AND IN THE STUDY BUT NOT IT
DOESN'T HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO LYNDALE AVE IT WASN'T REALLY A POSSIBILITY THERE SO THIS IS KIND OF WHY WE'RE GOING TO BE TO ZONING DISTRICT AND THEN COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL ROUTE AND
THEN WE HAVE TWO STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE IN THE LAND USE ELEMENT THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED THERE THAT WE COULD KIND OF POINT TO AS WELL FOR SUPPORT FOR THE THE PROPOSAL
THIS WAS JUST THE MAP THAT I MENTIONED THAT KIND SHOWS THOSE TRANSITIONAL INDUSTRIAL AREAS VERSUS THE KIND OF PROTECTED INDUSTRIAL AREAS
SO THOSE IN BLUE CAN BE ON CASE BY CASE BASIS CAN CONSIDER REGO GUIDING AND REZONING AND SO THERE PURSELL IS IN THAT BLUE AREA ALONG
AMERICAN BOULEVARD THINK THEY MUST SHOW UP YEAH AND JUST HAVE IT KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW THEY'RE ZOOMED IN ON THE MAP SO IT'S KIND OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SIDE
LOOKING THE REZONING SPECIFICALLY SOME CONSIDERATION THE AGAIN THE COUPLE HOURS FOR THE A LARGER
SHOWROOM THAN WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IN I3 AS WELL AS THE RETAIL SALES SO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE ACTUALLY LEGALLY NON-CONFORMING IN THE I3 ZONING DISTRICT SO REZONING IT
TO B2 OR A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE IT PERMITTED AND LEGALLY CONFORMING USES WHICH ALLOW THEM MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE FUTURE IF THEIR BUSINESS
CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. AS WAS MENTIONED IDENTIFIED AS A TRADITIONAL INDUSTRY AREA AND THEN IF YOU ARE SUPPORTIVE
OF A THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL RE GUIDING IT WOULD NEED A COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO ALIGN WITH THAT YOU KNOW IT'S BEST PRACTICE OR WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR UNDERLYING
ZONING ALIGNS WITH THE KIND OF RE GUIDING OR FUTURE LAND USE FOR THE SITE. I DID MENTION A LITTLE BIT ON
THE WINDOW OUR RETROFIT PLAN AND IT MAY BE WHY WE THOUGHT ABOUT B TWO ZONING DISTRICT INSTEAD OF B FOR ZONING DISTRICT. AGAIN THIS SITE WAS INCLUDED
IN THE KIND OF STUDY AREA FOR THE RETROFIT PLAN BUT DOESN'T HAVE DIRECT ACCESS ALONG LINDELOF'S AND REALLY THE B FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT WAS
KIND OF FOR THE DESIGNATED OR PRIORITY NODES IN THE RETROFIT PLAN. SO THOSE ARE THE AREAS KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED IN RED HERE. THERE'S KIND OF THE NODE
AROUND 86TH STREET AND THEN THE NODE AROUND 98TH STREET AND THAT WAS REALLY WHAT WAS KIND OF ENVISIONED THE PLAN TO BE IN THAT BEFORE ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW MORE RESIDENTIAL USES KIND OF MORE
IN KIND OF MORE URBAN DESIGN ELEMENTS AND WALKABILITY ALONG THOSE KIND OF PRIORITY AND THEN KIND OF CASE BY CASE BASIS ELSEWHERE ON THE
CORRIDOR I ALSO JUST WANTED TO NOTE SOME ITEMS RELATED TO CODE COMPLIANCE SO WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CONDITION A REZONING ON ITS OWN.
THIS ISN'T ASSOCIATED A SITE PLAN OR DEVELOPMENT BUT WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AND AT LEAST DOCUMENT KIND OF WORKING THROUGH WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT AND KIND OF LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF THE SITE.
CURRENTLY OUTDOOR DISPLAY OR STORAGE OF MERCHANDISE IS ALLOWED AS A CONDITION OF THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN OUTDOOR DISPLAY OR STORAGE MERCHANDISE AND SO
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE RESOLVED IF THIS WERE TO MOVE FORWARD AND WANTING TO DO THAT INDOOR RECREATION USE. IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE THE PARKING LOT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
BUILDING HAS BEEN KIND OF RE STRIPPED FROM ITS ORIGINAL SITE PLAN AND FOR THIS USE TO MEET THE MINIMUM STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THAT
90 DEGREE PARKING THAT YOU SEE ON THE IMAGE HERE TO MEET THOSE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. SO JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO WORK THROUGH BUT CAN'T DIRECTLY CONDITION THIS
REZONING ON THOSE AND ON THAT PIECE SO WITH WITH WE DO HAVE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS HERE THE FIRST ONE FOR THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
AND THE SECOND FOR THE REZONING AND THEN I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND WE ALSO HAVE THE APPLICANTS HERE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL. THANK YOU.
QUESTIONS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER COMPTON THE EXPENDITURE MR. CARSON DAY FOR THE FOLKS AT HOME. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ZONING AND GUIDING? I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE I'M UP HERE BUT I THINK IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE A WATCHER YOU MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE. YEAH CHAIR COMMISSIONER COOKED
IN I GUESS HOW I ABOUT IT THE RE GUIDING IS REALLY THE KIND OF FEATURE LAND USE SO IT'S KIND OF US MAKING SOME ASSUMPTIONS OR KIND OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE
ENVISIONING FOR THAT SITE IN THE FUTURE AND SO OFFERING THAT LAND USE DESIGNATION AND KIND OF FOR FUTURE PLANNING AND FUTURE USES AND THEN THE ZONING OR KIND OF THE REZONING
IS REALLY FOR WHAT'S WHAT'S THE GROUND TODAY IT'S THE ZONING DISTRICT THAT'S IN THE ZONING CODE THAT HAS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND THINGS THAT FOLKS HAVE TO COMPLY TO. SO THAT'S KIND OF KIND OF A
DIFFERENCE AROUND KIND OF THE CURRENT USE VERSUS KIND OF FUTURE USE AND PLANNING FOR A SITE. Q I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT
REQUIREMENTS B TO SINCE THE PROPERTY NOT HAVE DIRECT ACCESS IN FROM AMERICAN BOULEVARD TO THAT ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS IN B TO SAY
THAT THE PROPERTY WOULD WANT TO BE REDEVELOPED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF DIRECT IN OUT ON A MORE AMERICAN BOULEVARD YEAH.
CHAIR ALBRECHT PLANNING COMMISSION I'M NOT RECALLING A SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARD AND B TO WITH ACCESS THERE I DON'T KNOW PLANNING MANAGER
JANSEN IF YOU HAD LOOKED AT MAYBE YOU HAD A THOUGHT BUT NOT RECALLING ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE ACCESS TO AMERICAN BOULEVARD PLANNING MANAGER JOHNSON YEAH, YEAH. THANK YOU CHAIR. ALBRECHT SO THE SPECIFIC
INTENT STATEMENT OF THE B2 IS TO TO BE TO DISTRICT EXCUSE ME DOESN'T HAVE SPECIFIC ACCESS REQUIREMENTS TO ARTERIAL STREETS. I WOULD NOTE THAT THE GUIDE PLAN CATEGORY OF COMMUNITY
COMMERCIAL DOES SPECIFY SOME ACCESS REQUIREMENTS IT SAYS SHOULD BE IN PROXIMITY TO ARTERIAL ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR ROADS. IT TALKS ABOUT SOME SPECIFIC USES WITH RESPECT TO PROXIMITY
THE HIGHWAY WHICH THIS HAS AS WELL BUT THAT'S MORE MOSTLY DRIVEN BY HOTEL USES. SO NOW THAT THE B-2 DISTRICT DOES NOT HAVE SPECIFIC DRIVEWAY REQUIREMENTS TO THAT TYPE OF FUNCTIONAL
CLASSIFICATION ROADWAY BUT THE GUIDE PLAN CATEGORY DOES TALK ABOUT ACCESS. BUT WE BELIEVE THIS SITE MEETS THOSE REQUIREMENTS. GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF
? ALL RIGHT. NONE FOR THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. WELCOME. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND
INTRODUCING YOURSELF THAT WAS GREAT. HELLO. MY NAME IS JOHN MEYER. I'M CURRENTLY AN APPLE VALLEY RESIDENT SO OBVIOUSLY NOT DIRECTLY IN OUR HOMETOWN BUT
THE BUSINESS OF RAINBOW MIDWEST HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST 26 YEARS. FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR WORKING TONIGHT. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE WITHOUT THIS FAR TO BE HONEST
WE'D BE GOING NOWHERE. I'D LIKE TO THA DAKOTA WHO HAS SPENT MANY HOURS ANSWERING QUESTIONS ON OUR BEHALF SO TRULY THE BUSINESS HAS OPERATED IN ITS EXISTENCE
SINCE OCTOBER OF 1998. IN THAT TIMEFRAME WE DID RECEIVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WHICH ALLOWED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS FOR THE INDOOR
PLAY AT THAT POINT IN TIME IT WASN'T SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR THAT WE DID RECEIVE NOTICE THAT UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE ZONING REQUIREMENT THAT WE ARE
IN VIOLATION OF THAT. SO AFTER 26 YEARS OF DOING BUSINESS THE WAY THAT WE HAVE AND HAVE ALWAYS INTENDED TO AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO IN BUSINESS FOR THE NEXT 26
YEARS OBVIOUSLY THIS IS WHY THE IDEA OF REZONE IN AND THEN RECLASSIFICATION HAS REALLY PERMITTED AS OUT THERE. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU WE WE'VE
ALWAYS COMPLIED WITH EVERYTHING FROM THE SAFETY COMMISSION TO EVERYTHING ELSE AS A BUSINESS AS BEEN IN OPERATIONS SINCE 98. WE'VE ONLY REALLY HAD
BLOOMINGTON AS OUR HOME SINCE ACTUALLY STARTED A BUSINESS IN 1991. SO WE'VE CALLED THIS HOME SINCE OUR INCEPTION AND WE PLAN TO HAVE IT UNTIL WE RETIRE.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE THE IDEA OF OF TRULY BEING A A B2 IS REALLY IMMATERIAL US. WE JUST WANT TO CONTINUE TO
OPERATE AS AS WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BUSINESS THE IDEA OF GOING FROM AN I3 TO OUR FIRST APPLICATION WAS A T I JUST HAPPENED TO BE THAT WE WERE 500 FEET OFF OF LYNDALE WHICH
IS WHY WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY GONE TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL ONCE AGAIN WE REALLY JUST WANT TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON STANDARDS OUT THERE.
WE REALLY HAVE NO REALLY IDEA OF REFORMING ANYTHING OF OUR BUSINESS AND THE TWO REQUIREMENTS THAT WE STILL HAVE YET TO WILL OBVIOLY BE HANDLED ONCE WEATHER PERMITTING WHICH IS WE DO HAVE ONE OUTDOOR FACILITY OF , A PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT WILL
BE TAKEN DOWN HOPEFULLY AS AS SNOW IS ALL DONE MELT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH AND TO ACTUALLY ADHERE TO THE 90 DEGREE REQUIREMENT OF ENGLISH IN THE PARKING LOT CORRECTLY.
ONCE AGAIN ONCE SNOW HAS SAFELY BEEN REMOVED FROM OUR FACILITY SO TO BE HONEST WE REALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD. I THINK DAKOTA DID A FANTASTIC JOB REALLY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING
THAT WE HAVE. WE JUST WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS LIKE WE ALWAYS HAVE AND WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COMPLY WITH ANYTHING THAT WOULD NEED BE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT. SO NONE DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PEOPLE ONLINE? ANY QUESTION? COMMISSIONER ISA, ANY
QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR STAFF? NOPE. OKAY, GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND SIGNING
IN AS OH ABSOLUTELY GREAT. ALL RIGHT, NOW WE WILL THE PUBLIC HEARING IF THERE IS ANYONE IN THE CHAMBERS WHO
WISHES TO TESTIFY IF YOU WOULD COME UP. SIGN IN . INTRODUCE YOURSELF PLANNING MANAGER IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE
WHO WISHES TO TESTIFY? THANK YOU CHAIR ALBRECHT THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE WHO IS NOT EITHER A PLANNING COMMISSIONER OR CITY STAFF. GREAT. ALL RIGHT, WE WE'LL GIVE IT A
SECOND IN CASE ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO TESTIFY IN THIS. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING SO MOVED SECOND. ALL RIGHT.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND BECAUSE WE DO HAVE ONE PERSON REMOTE. WE ARE GOING TO DO A ROLL CALL VOTE AND MR. SHERROD, WOULD
YOU DO THE ROLL CALL VOTE FOR US PLEASE? SIR TALBOTT, I COMMISSIONER COOK THE HIGH COMMISSIONER.
HIGH COMMISSIONER WAIT I COMMISSIONER COME HERE. I AM COMMISSIONER SIR I FIXED ALL RIGHT THAT WOULD BE
UNANIMOUS WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER COOK IT THANKS MADAM CHAIR. SO WE'VE SEEN A FEW THESE OVER
THE YEARS AND WHETHER IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO ARIZONA REGARD AND I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S ALWAYS A SLAM DUNK YOU KNOW WHEN LOOK AT THE GUIDE PLAN IN MY
OPINION THE GUIDE PUT IN A PARTICULAR SOME PARCELS TO ME ARE VERY GUIDED SOMETHING AND OTHERS ARE GROUPED WITH A LOT OF OTHER THINGS AND SO COMMONLY WHEN YOU HAVE LIKE AN INTERSECTION OF TWO MAJOR
STREETS YOU MIGHT SEE SOME VERY SPECIFIC ZONING ON THOSE FOUR CORNER LOTS OR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. ALSO YOU LOOK AT 494 THERE'S SOME PRETTY INTENTIONAL GUIDING AND ZONING IN IN SOME
OF OUR DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS OR SOME PRETTY INTENTIONAL GUIDING AND REZONING THIS PARCEL HERE DOES NOT. I WOULDN'T INCLUDE THAT IN THAT CATEGORY OF OH THIS PARCEL IS FOR MEANT TO BE THAT
VERY INTENTIONALLY IS KIND OF GROUPED WITH OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE AND IT WASN'T SINGLED OUT AS SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY INTENDED FOR SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE AND SO IT SORT
OF PASSES THAT CRITERIA AND THEN THE OTHER CRITERIA LOOK AT IN THESE THINGS IS IS THERE ANYTHING INJURIOUS TO THE SURROUNDING PARCELS IF WE WERE TO HAD A RESULT THAT DON'T SEE
THAT HERE. AND SO FROM MY MY VIEWPOINT IN THE ANALYSIS I'VE LOOKED AT, I THINK THIS IS JUST JUST FINE OF AN IDEA AND I'LL BE IN SUPPORT OF IT.
COMMISSIONER WHITE NO. ANYONE THAT'S I WILL ADD MY $0.02 AS WELL. I THINK THIS IS GREAT. I'M GLAD THAT WE CAN BE
SUPPORTIVE FOR THE BUSINESS TO CONTINUE DOING BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON WE'RE ALWAYS WELL WE HAD BEEN DISCUSSING A LOT ABOUT WHERE KIDS CAN GO AND HOW WE CAN BE
