City Council hears third request for property zoning change By Linda Waggener Columbia City Council Member Five pages of ten pages of minutes covering the October, 2019 meeting were not accepted at Monday night's City Council meeting while the rest of the minutes were approved as presented. Those five unapproved pages dealt with the planning and zoning issue that had come before the Council at both the September and October meetings, and brought representatives back to the November meeting Monday, November 4, 2019. BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended refusal of a zoning change from residential to commercial on property located at 511 Burkesville Street because it would classify it as spot zoning. After hearing both sides of the issue - P&Z and property owner - City Council members tabled the issue for 30 days for study and discussion, holding for a vote until the October meeting. Votes at the October meeting resulted in a tie which was broken by the Mayor's vote. Property owner Dustin Brockman left the meeting believing his property would be commercial, allowing him to move his car business from Jamestown Street to his Burkesville Street lot. The day after that meeting Mayor Hoots reached out to media stating that her vote had been deemed illegal by the City Attorney after objections from an unnamed source making that claim. This left Brockman blocked from proceeding with his business plans. At the November, 2019 meeting John Rarey presented a request for a new vote on what he called the "Planning and Zoning issue that wouldn't go away". His further research had resulted in the belief that the lot, being adjacent to a commercial property, Harper Valley Trailer Court with 16 trailers on it, would have to be zoned commercial. He presented a map of the neighborhood from the PVA showing that the Brockman property joins the trailer court. The City Attorney pointed out that the PVA map is an Adair County document, not a city zoning document, therefore it was not a valid tool to use. The city zoning map was checked while the meeting was on hold and the trailer court indeed was found to be zoned residential, even though it appears to be a business, is taxed as commercial according to the City Clerk, and rents to residents. A request was made for Council members to meet with Planning and Zoning to see if other types of zoning could be considered and that information will be brought to the Council's December meeting.
