Property is Located at 317 Church Street. Public Hearing opened. Peggy Williams, 316 Church St., indicated she did not understand how this could be made a two-family home unless they built on.

Consider and Possible Action on a Zoning Request Change from OLD SF3 (Old Single Family 3) to 2F (Two -Family) on Property Legally Described as Hampton Block 25, Lot 38 (East 80' of South 60'). Property is Located at 317 Church Street. Jimmy Fnzier indicated the zoning request does not indicate what they would like to do with the property. It only expresses that he would like an additional electric meter. He would like to know if they wish to build on or tear it down and build a new building. Chairperson Jenkins indicated he did not like to make a decision without the applicant present. He indicated he had looked a the property and felt the house did not fit the qualifications of a duplex. If they zoned for Two-Family it would be a non-conforming use. They cannot meet the parking requirements. Brief discussion followed. Mr. Jenkins indicated in the past another individual tried to get Two-Family zoning in a single family area and he was denied. Discussion as to whether requirements could be met. Discussed zoning in surrounding area. Jimmy Frazier moved to deny the request. Ken Perry seconded. Motion carried unanimously. S. Discuss and Consider Possible Action Regarding Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Map and the Zoning Ordinances. Cecile Carson, Economic Development Director, indicated they had the current zoning map with notations indicating the current uses. Also there was some discussion on changing some areas to match the land use plan. Staff wished to bring this to the commission and if they approved would proceed with notifying property owners and initiating zoning changes on these properties. Discussion regarding the zoning for the Wal-mart Distribution Center. Ken Perry indicated that he remembered there was a 750' business and/or industrial setback along IH-35. City Manager indicated a reference in the metal building ordinance was all he was aware of. Discussion regarding the area along IH-35. Cecile Carson explained the process for the zoning change, and addressed that there may be additional changes when the comprehensive plan is done. Jimmy Frazier asked about the location of Jennifer Circle. Mr. Jenkins indicated it was off of Belz Road. Discussion regarding the zoning, the zoning map and the ordinances. Discussed different zoning classifications, and changing Old SFJ to fit into a category. Discussed number of zoning classifications for residential. Cecile Carson indicated looking at the zoning ordinance will be the next step when the comprehensive plan is done. Discussed the old zoning classification -OLD SF3. City Manager indicated that we do not have a current classification that these will fit in, that is why the map reflects it as such. Discussed that this was a meeting to discuss what the commission would like to see them work toward. Thomas Muir moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to Council that staff look at the current uses and current/old zoning and look at the current zoning ordinances, try to match them, and bring them back to Planning and Zoning initially for them to review and potentially send to City Council. Andy Gana seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Cecile Carson indicated that a whole adoption of the map is an easier process. Brief Discussion followed -this will clean up a few areas on the zoning map. 6. Meeting Adjourned.
