,AW6 . ?1 this parcel when rezoning. The board should look at the city as a whole to determine how this parcel will fit into the overall scheme of the 'city's future. Mr. Allan questioned if the board should treat the lot like the Wal-Mart site. Mr. Smerigan suggested that the board review the existing zoning around the entire parcel when deciding what the zoning should be. W. Koeth questioned if residential or multi family zoning should be "placed on the parcel. Mr. Smerigan commented that some residential or multi family could be placed on the parcel but questioned if there was any - residential or multi family along Brookpark Road. Mr. Asseff pointed out that there is an apartment complex along Brookpark Road which start right behind Wal-Mart. Mr. Smerigan reviewed what is and is not allowed in each of the zoning categories. Mr. Lasko questioned if zoning the site one of the mixed-use categories would satisfy the Judge. W. Dubelko indicated that during the trial the judge reviewed plans for a building. The cost to have access onto Brookpark road would be very costly so the judge felt some amount of retail would be needed to help offset the cost. Mr. Smerigan suggested that some times it is easier for a city to zone land when they have a plan before them. When there is a plan before the city the city has an opportunity to get more items from the applicant i.e. mounds, landscaping, larger setbacks and fences/walls more things for the residents. With an empty slate, you zone the parcel and then hope for the best. Once the parcel of land is zoned, the owner may develop the parcel however the zoning stipulates. Mr. Lasko suggested mixed-use for the parcel. Mr. Smerigan is concerned that a mixed-use would work, but putting that type of zoning without a plan would be hard. Mr. Koeth commented that the area along I-480 and the Mall is zoned Mixed-Use and is solely comprised of hotels and restaurants. Mr. Smerigan suggested placing more than one type of zoning of the parcel. Councilman McKay questioned if the owners could be kept from having access on Columbia and Westview. Roads. Mr. Smerigan suggested that it would be hard for the city to stop the landowners from having access along Columbia and Westview Roads. Mr. Spalding questioned if the city could design zoning for the parcel. Mr. Dubelko suggested the city could, but that takes quite a bit of time and the city has to be careful that they do not fall into the same situation that happened with the shemo case. Mr. Smerigan suggested looking at modifying an existing zoning district to fit the parcel. Mr. Dubelko suggested looking at mixed-use D and modifying the definitions to satisfy the court. W. Lasko questioned the definition of ancillary in the mixed-use district. Mr. Dubelko suggested that the definition should be defined a little clearer. Mr. Smerigan suggested that the city should have a better breakdown of the uses within the different zoning categories. Mr. Koeth commented that each board member will receive a copy of the county map and zone the parcel how they think it should be zoned. The board will then review the maps at the July 30, 2002 session. J. Lasko motioned, to adjourn the meeting. W. Spalding seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. Meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. N. ADJOURNMENT: Robert Koeth, Chairman Rote, Clerk of Commissi 2
