21 optional approach , and since another application of a similar nature was again before the Planning Commission , it was decided to proceed with this revision now to save procedural time , and make possible the approval of this type and size of industry , This change would avoid patch- quilt zoning changes without missing any steps in the process and thereby make possible large scale stores in the indus - trial zoning district . In response to questioning as to whether Architectural Permit was required for all developments in this zoning , Planning Director assured Council this permit was necessary of all buildings , except single family residences and duplexes . Question was also asked whether the nature of operations and standards of each of these two districts were of a similar nature . Planning Director advised there was a compatibility of standards and that was why this revision had been proposed in order to tie the two districts ( IP and IR ) together without rezoning require - ments needed in each individual application presented for this large scale type store . As Zoning Ordinance now stands , it is still indicative of small retail _ stores being established in these areas and this proposed amendment would clarify intent that large scale retail stores would be appropriate and recommended for inclusion in these districts . In reply to whether there was minimum square foot- age for other uses in Industrial Park areas , Planning Director advised this was true in neighborhood commercial districts , so would not be setting a precedent but a first limitation in the Industrial District . He stated he thought Planning Commission felt it important to respond to concern of those wanting dispersal of commercial activities away from the downtown section into industrial area . Like - wise , large scale retail establishments function better with larger areas for parking space particularly , which would not be possible in the traditional com- mercial areas . There being no further discussion , Councilman Weymouth moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Rhodes and carried .

Vice Mayor noted this was one of the pieces of equipment which had been referred to earlier in the meeting as being needed for improving the storm drain grates . City Manager in response to questioning for this program projection , re - lated a new process had been invented which was being used in other cities which would be much less expensive a program than originally antici - pated . He hoped , when this machine was available , our City would make arrangements and initiate an earlier program . City Manager asked that request of City Controller for authorization for an addi- tional employee , listed as next item on the Agenda ( Item 6) be continued for one week until another review and further report is made on classification of the position , City Manager responded to questions of Council for reasoning of changing the budgeted position from that of Public Works to Controller ' s office and reason for transfer of funds so budgeted , but felt a further review might lower the classi - fication then specified . Councilman Weymouth moved to continue this item until after a further review , as requested , seconded by Councilman Rhodes and carried . (MINUTE ORDER 73 -129) 9/17/73 Reg . Mtg .
