Conflict of Interest/Ex parte Conversation: Chairperson Smith asked the
Commissioners to disclose any conflicts of interest or conversations held outside of this
meeting relative to this particular subject.
Presentation:
Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson presented the application, showing the proposed
plat and the location on the map. He explained that the shape of the parcel on the map doesn’t
match the plat, but the deed has been corrected, it just hasn’t been updated on the map yet. The
applicant has met with staff several times, the application meets the staff’s requirements, and the
city can provide services to them.
Commissioner Richards asked for clarification on the detention pond. Administrator Parkinson
showed that it is located next to lot 5. The group discussed potential accesses, with expected
accesses off of Moody Rd and right-in right-out access off of 2nd E.
Chairperson Smith confirmed that the considerations for approval had been met. Administrator
Parkinson replied they have. Commissioner Richards said he had reviewed the plans and thinks
this will make a great addition to the city. Discussion circled back to the accesses.
Commissioner Muir asked for the surrounding zones. Administrator Parkinson replied that the
majority is Community Business Center (CBC) until Valleywide, then it is Industrial.
