1. PUBLIC HEARING AT 5:30 P.M. RE: Zoning Map Changes from WF and C-1 to
CBD-West :
Chairperson Weber called the public hearing to order at 5:30. p.m. and stated the purpose of the
public hearing was to hear any comments from the public regarding the proposed zoning map
change.
Weber made the first call for public comments at this time.
William Olstrom, audience member, stated the two options which were being considered and
preferred his property not be included in the rezone.
Jim Slough, audience member, agreed with Mr. Olstrom but asked that his property also be excluded
from this rezone.
Weber made a second call for public comments.
Paul Slough, audience member, stated they have concerns about the Slough property being rezoned
due to the non-conforming use if something were to happen or they wanted to rebuild or improve it
as they would now be out of compliance.
Slough agreed that they would prefer their property to stay zoned Waterfront or if the city plans to
continue with the rezone of that property that there be changes to the ordinance so they can stay in
compliance that the property is currently zoned now.
Weber made a final call for public comments.
