Concept Plan Applications
Community Development Director Lindquist outlined the item at hand. The site is adjacent to the
SKB landfill facility, but it would not be additional disposal area. The site would be for related uses
such as a recycling facility. Staff is proposing reguiding an area to General Industrial and rezoning
the site to General Industrial. Staff is also looking for approval of a concept plan, which would
indicate Council’s support for this type of development in this area.
Council member Weisensel inquired about the resident who spoke at the Planning Commission, and
how large their parcel is. The applicant speculated it might be approximately 10 acres.
Mayor Droste inquired about the current Comprehensive Plan process that is due for 2018, and
