3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Public hearing to consider a zoning test amendment to consider limiting
the size of outdoor storage lots as a ratio to the size of the principal floor
space.
Kirmis presented the background information on limiting the size of outdoor storage lots in
relation to the building structures and the rationale behind the discussion. He said at the
September 13 Planning meeting, the Commissioners agreed that either 2:1 or 3:1 would be
an acceptable ratio based on the City's current averages. Regarding the long-term parking
areas, Kirmis said the Commissioners felt if an area was designed and constructed as a
parking lot it that it should be treated as one and not counted against the outdoor storage
ratio. Kirmis reported at the October 3 Council meeting, the Council agreed with a ratio of
3:1 but regarding the long term parking felt that any parking over the minimum
requirements of the City Code should be considered as outdoor storage when calculating
the total outdoor area allowed. He answered questions from the Commissioners and said
the current establishment's ratios and parking areas would be grandfathered in if the
amendment was passed.
City Council Liaison Zagorski answered questions from the Planning Commissioners
regarding the City Council discussion on considering the excess parking stalls in calculating
the outdoor storage totals.
