V.ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
ORDINANCE -AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE - C-4 ZONE -SECOND READING
A letter was read from Stan Bech,Community Development Director,which stated that
the Planning Commission recommended that the ordinance amending the C-4 Zone be
adopted.The City Council requested a legal opinion on allowing new car dealerships
in this zone,and it was the opinion of the city attorney that it should be changed
to say Automobile Sales.
A letter was read from the Planning Commission which requested that the Council not
allow automobile dealerships as a conditional use.By doing so the C-4 zone would
become an extension of the C-2 zone.
Louie Dendy stated that he would like to see the wording changed to motor vehicle
instead of automobile dealership as he has a client interested in the land at the
corner of Nelson and Pioneer Way for light recreational vehicles.
Mr.Skaug stated that if car dealerships are allowed in this zone it would be \/ery
difficult to deny other types of open sales lots,and he felt that the ordinance
should remain as previously presented.
Mr.Swanson stated that there is no place in the downtown area for open sales lots
and so they would be going into the county which would open up another strip type
development.
Mr.Barney stated that he felt this area would be the proper one for C-4 and C-2
commercial development.
Ken Earl stated that he was in favor of allowing automobile dealerships as a condi
tional use in this zone.
The ordinance amending Chapter 18.36 entitled C-4,Tourist Commercial Zone,of Title
18 of the Moses Lake City Code was read by title only.
Mr.Hill moved that the second reading of the ordinance be adopted as amended,
seconded by Mr.Jones,and passed with Mr.Skaug opposed.
IV.REQUESTS TO CALL FOR BIDS
None
VII.REFERRALS FROM COMMISSIONS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT -SOUTHSIDE MOBILE VILLAGE
A letter was read from Stan Bech,Community Development Director,which stated that
the Planning Commission recommended that the conditional use request from the South-
side Mobile Village be approved.
Mr.Ziegler stated that this area is almost completely surrounded by R-l zoning,
which requires a 25 foot setback,and this mobile home park would only be required
to have a 15 foot setback.He stated that he would like to see a 25 foot setback
required as part of the conditional use permit.
There was considerable discussion on the differences between the 15 foot setback
for mobile homes and the 25 foot setback for single family homes.
Mr.Barney moved that the conditional use permit be granted with the following
stipulations:
1.That there shall be no access onto Peninsula.Ingress and egress shall be
from Wanapum through the existing park.
