He closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:54p.m. Commissioners Discussion: Vince Haley’s concern is a zoning island will be created with approval of this request. At the potato plant to the north there is some Light Industrial zoning. He does not believe this will change the landscape of the area. He supports moving forward. MOTION: Recommend the County Commissioners approve the rezone for 2003 S Yellowstone from Community Business Center (CBC) to Light Industrial (LI), because the change makes sense for the area and the growth will bring in some good tax dollars for the south side of town. Recommend the County Commissioners consider the application third read if this is their process., Action: Approve, Moved by Vince Haley, Seconded by Steve Oakey. Commission Discusses the Motion: Sally Smith confirmed this recommendation is to the County Commissioners. Is it known if the County Commissioners have the same procedure to read an application three times? No one present knows their procedure. Randall Kempton asked to see the Comprehensive Plan Map for the area surrounding this property. The area is represented by Commercial and Light Industrial. Chairman Rory Kunz requested the zoning also be shown. The zoning is mostly commercial.
