62 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 151 Jana Murdoch-Doherty: Yes. <br /> 152 <br /> 153 Statler Gilfillen: But has there ever been any complaint or is anybody with Planning staff aware of any <br /> 154 complaints or legal issues about your use of the land and what was technically a violation of the zoning? Has <br /> 155 that ever appeared to anybody, any knowledge? <br /> 156 <br /> 157 Cy Stober: I can answer that question,we don't have any complaints on record in recent history. I can't <br /> 158 comment back to 10 years. <br /> 159 <br /> 160 Statler Gilfillen: Thank you. That eliminates my questions. <br /> 161 <br /> 162 Marilyn Carter: Well, thank you for your presentation tonight and your package. I'm familiar with the site. <br /> 163 I've been at the Ruritan Club during voting times and so we appreciate that use in the past. Um, I do have a <br /> 164 question about two things. One is, typically there's Neighborhood Information Meetings associated with <br /> 165 rezoning requests, and I believe there's a Neighborhood Information Meeting that was held for the rezoning <br /> 166 request? <br /> 167 <br /> 168 Taylor Perschau: So, a Neighborhood Information Meeting is actually not required for a Conventional. So, it <br /> 169 was not held in this case. <br /> 170 <br /> 171 Marilyn Carter: Thank you for that clarification. Perdita has taught this to us, but it's always good have it <br /> 172 validated. The second question has to do with the nature of zoning and commercial zoning. And it appears that <br /> 173 this is certainly within the Matrix Attachment 2 in the packet that a GC4 zoning would meet the requirements, but <br /> 174 1 do have a question since some of the neighboring properties are actually zoned as Neighborhood Commercial. <br /> 175 What is a compelling difference between those two zonings and is there a reason that you wouldn't be able to <br /> 176 request a Neighborhood Commercial zoning to be consistent with your neighbors. <br /> 177 <br /> 178 Taylor Perschau: So, I don't know. You might have a better answer, but I do believe we looked at both <br /> 179 General Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial, and I think the specific use that they had in mind for the <br /> 180 drive through ATM,was more suitable for GC4, but since someone is coming up, do you have something to add? <br /> 181 <br /> 182 Pat Mallett: That's what I was going to say. That's sole basis for determination on the zoning category <br /> 183 since they had just a general case, but they knew exactly what they wanted to do. <br /> 184 <br /> 185 Perdita Holtz: There's an actually an obscure use standard, and I think it's like 5.17, where Assembly <br /> 186 Uses,which is what a club is, you can't have more than 100 participants in a LC1 or NC2 district, so therefore, a <br /> 187 club would have to be either CC3 or GC4. So— <br /> 188 <br /> 189 Beth Bronson: Can you repeat that, I'm sorry. I apologize. I just want to make sure that I understand. Of <br /> 190 100 people? <br /> 191 <br /> 192 Perdita Holtz: Yeah, if you, I think it's 5.17. It might be 5.18, 1 don't recall of the top of my head. There is <br /> 193 a use standard for Assembly Uses, which means like the assemblage of people in a place. That, if, if it's in LC1 <br /> 194 or NC2,there can't be more than 100 people in attendance at one time. And so,the Ruritan Club, like rodeo that <br /> 195 they have draws more than 100 people— <br /> 196 <br /> 197 Beth Bronson: So, it's not the Club itself, it's special events that they have. <br /> 198 <br /> 199 Perdita Holtz: Yes, or potentially if they were to grow. So, there is that restriction in, in the UDO for the <br /> 200 assembly uses. <br />
