6 Ayes, 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Public Hearing – Rezoning of the Property at 1950 Old Hwy. 8 from I-2 to I-1 City of New Brighton – RZ 02-001 The proposed rezoning is for the parcel the current Johnson Screens building is located on. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the future land use of this parcel to be Light Industrial. The Johnson Screens parcel is currently zoned I-2, Heavy Industrial and is inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. To bring this property in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, the property will need to be rezoned to I-1, Light Industrial. Rezoning the property will insure that future development of this site will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. Moved and Seconded to 6 Ayes 0 Nays, Motion Carried. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RZ 02-001 AND Motion by Zisla, and seconded to ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION, REZONING THE PARCEL LOCATED AT 1950 OLD HWY 8 OWNED BY JOHNSON SCREENS (PIN: 17-30-23-44-0006), from I-2, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO I-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. 6 Ayes, 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Public Hearing – Zoning Code Amendment – City of New Brighton Note the Public Hearing for this Zoning Code Amendment is related to the Rezoning Public Hearing above. Proposed text changes to add “metal plating” to Section 6-030(5) The language proposed to be added to the City’s Zoning Code under the I-1, Light Industrial allowable uses is: Welded screen manufacturing, conducted entirely within a fully enclosed, climate controlled building and not involving electroplating or stamping. Staff and the City Attorney believe the above language will allow Johnson Screens to continue their current operations within an I-1 zoning district and will limit heavy industrial type uses from operating within a Light Industrial zone. There were no public or business persons present to speak to this issue. There was considerable discussion between commissioners and staff regarding the terminology and uses and future situations which might develop. RECOMMEND APPROVAL Moved and Seconded to of the Zoning Code Amendment as follows: Section 1. The New Brighton Code of Ordinances is amended by adding to paragraph (5) letter (JJ) to Section 6-030, Permitted Uses in an I-1 District, as follows: JJ. Welded screen manufacturing, conducted entirely within a fully enclosed, climate controlled building and not involving electroplating or stamping. 6 Ayes, 0 Nays, Motion Carried.
