10 1 a. Zoning Atlas Amendment— Keizer Rezoning of Two Parcels Totaling 16.1 2 Acres — Public Hearing Closure and Action (No Additional Comments 3 Accepted) 4 The Board received the Planning Board recommendation, considered closing the public 5 hearing, and considered making a decision on an owner-initiated Zoning Atlas Amendment to 6 rezone 2 parcels, 16.1 acres in area, (PINs 9844-87-7368 and 9844-86-7573) from Rural 7 Residential (R-1) to Light Industrial (1-1) in accordance with the provisions of the Unified 8 Development Ordinance (UDO). 9 Michael Harvey said the Keizers have put an offer to purchase two additional parcels, 10 zoned rural/residential, totaling 16 acres in area, to expand their current industrial site to light 11 industrial. 12 He said this approval is based on consistency with the comprehensive plan, not 13 consistency with the Keizer's proposal. He said if this property is re-zoned light industrial it 14 could be developed for any purpose. 15 He said there were a lot of questions at the quarterly public hearing, concerning the 16 node, as well as general re-zonings in the area. He referred to the abstract pages 2, and 23 for 17 additional information on general use zoning designations. 18 Michael Harvey said staff has also provided an explanation to address Commissioner 19 Dorosin's question of why residential zoning is allowed in this particular node and what the 20 impact would be to those areas if the re-zoning were approved. 21 He said staff does not believe there are any concerns, and the request is consistent with 22 the Comprehensive Plan. He said the planning board recommended unanimously that the 23 Board approve this re-zoning. 24 Chair Jacobs said his understanding is that there is little noise from this operation that 25 goes beyond the actual facility. 26 Michael Harvey agreed. He said it is stipulated that there will be required buffers along 27 the property line. 28 Commissioner Dorosin noted that this decision is being made without knowing what the 29 property may be used for in the future. He asked if it is appropriate to have this information at 30 these hearings. He said it might be better in the future to discuss these proposals with an 31 outline of all the potential uses. 32 Michael Harvey said he would be aware of this for future presentations. 33 34 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to: 35 36 1. Receive the Planning Board's recommendation; 37 2. Close the public hearing; and 38 3. Adopt: 39 a. Attachment 3 Ordinance Amending the Zoning Atlas 40 b.
