Public Hearing
PREPARED BY: Kyle Klatt, Senior Planner AGENDA NO. 7.a.
ATTACHMENTS: None APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the City make the following motions:
1. Motion to postpone consideration of Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the
future land use designation of Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot B of Rich Valley Industrial
Park from RC – Regional Commercial to GI – General Industrial.
2. Motion to open the public hearing concerning an appeal of variance and site plan

SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to postpone taking action on a request by Wayne Transports, Inc., for a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the future land use designation of Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot
B of Rich Valley Industrial Park from RC – Regional Commercial to GI – General Industrial. The
applicant has also filed an appeal of related decisions made by the Board of Appeals and Adjustments
concerning a variance request and the Planning Commission concerning a site plan review for a parking
expansion project on the same property. The Council is being asked to delay consideration of the appeals
as well.
The applicant is requesting City Council deliberations occur when a full Council is present. Approval of a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment requires a 4/5ths majority of the Council and therefore would require
unanimous approval if all Councilmembers were not present at the meeting. It is staffs understanding that
at least one Councilmember will be absent for the next two meetings, and the applicant is unable to be
present for the March 21, 2017 meeting. Staff is therefore recommending that the City Council continue
the public hearing and deliberation of the items until the April 4, 2017 meeting in accordance with the
proposed motions listed above.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Postpone City Council review of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and continue the public hearing
concerning appeals of Board of Appeals and Adjustment and Planning Commission decisions regarding
variances and site plan review.
