Jon Dobosiewicz of the Department of Community Services presented a brief overview of the
proposed Amendment to the I -1 /Industrial District. Under the current I -1 Industrial District
Ordinance, the uses are very broad and limit the review of the Plan Commission. Approval of this
Amendment would add Development Plan and Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping
Signage (DP /ADLS) review by the Plan Commission. Approval of this Amendment would also
ensure compatibility of the proposed use with adjoining areas prior to the approval of an
Improvement Location Permit by the Department of Community Services within the I -1 District.
No other changes are proposed at this time and the Department is recommending this item be
forwarded to the City Council with a favorable recommendation to add ADLS review to the I -1
Zone.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one
appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Comments from Commission members:
Wayne Wilson suggested the City Center C -1 and C -3 District should also be included under this
review.
Nick Kestner commented that adjacent properties within the Industrial and City Center Zones
should be required to follow the rules and requirements of the Ordinance.
Dan Dutcher moved to Suspend the Rules of Procedure in Order to vote on the I -1 /Industrial
Amendment this evening, seconded by Jerry Chomanczuk and Approved 13 in favor, 1 opposed
(Wilson.)
Leo Dierckman then made formal motion for a positive recommendation to be made to the City
Council on Docket No. 95 -03 OA, I -1 /Industrial District Amendment. The motion was seconded
by Dave Cremeans and APPROVED 13 in favor, 1 opposed (Wayne Wilson.)
