Present APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JUNE 5, 1986: Reid moved to approve the minutes of June 5, 1986. Seconded by Poole. Vote: Holz: aye; Reid: aye; Poole: aye; Kessler: absent; Girda: aye. Motion carried. Judgement by the Board as to Proper Zoning Classification of the following type of business enterprises described by the following names: Personal Storage/Mini Offices. Office Warehouse, Mini Warehouse. Powell gave his presentation. The City has had several requests for this type of facility to be built. In the past it would be presented as a Special Exception if it is not elsewhere listed in the Code. The Board needs to deter~ine if this type of facility fits in the catagory of C-2 zoning as a warehouse. If the Board deams that, then there is nothing to do but to change the zoning on the particular lots. If the Board determines that. it is not a warehouse in C-2 zoning, will it be re- viewed in the zoning code under C-l, fl8l which states: "Any other retail store of business enterprise not listed under any other zoning classification that in the judgement of the Board of Adjustment is consistent with those included above, and further, that will be in harmony with the spirit of sections 44.01 through 44.90". Reid asked if this was not a case for the Planning and Zoning Board to determine. Powell stated that the City Manager and the City Attorney feel that the Board of Adjustment needs to decide if it is consistent to the warehouse stated in the C-2 zoning or does it fit into the C-l classification under fl8l, which specifically states that the Board of Adjustment determines. It should be noted that a C-l use automatically fits into C-2 zoning, but it doesn't work the other way (C-2 zoning does not fit into C-l zoning). There was discussion as to whether what kind of businesses are operated in warehouse buildings would be a determining factor. Reid stated there is alot of auto repair that operates out of these type of warehouses. Powell stated that because this request is for Office Warehouse, and not and Industrial Warehouse, the usage of the property as officeaan fit into C-l, prohibiting C-2 uses such as auto repair. Poole asked what is the zoning of the properties that are in question for the office warehouses requested. Powell stated that they are now zoned C-l. Girda stated that warehouse storage belongs in C-2 zoning and not in a private sector. There was discussion as to the determination of the definition of warehouse. There were two people present who presented their opinion of Mini Warehouse / Office Warehouse, they were: Gary Lazar and Rick Croman. .., Board of Adj ustment Min(\s July 3, 1986 Page 2 continued ~ It was the determination of the Board that each case be heard separately as a Special Exception to determine if the type of Office Warehouse / Mini Storage being presented can be excepted in the C-l zoning.
