It's a difficult piece of property to categorize with single-family zoning and steep banks abutting railroad tracks and industry, with park property across the street. We've had informal discussions with a developer who might want to do something there with multiple-family zoning.

I believe this legislation intrudes on the affairs of business. We need to refocus our efforts on protecting our communities through appropriate zoning. I believe, if we work with our neighborhoods, we can come up with the right solutions. I would love to see that happen.
Jean Godden
Quite a lot of what we do before we adopt a building ordinance is to consider the way the building looks. City staff and the Planning and Zoning Board also pay attention.
Jim Jeffers
Maybe look at the zoning laws to do it so it is easier for them [businesses] to set up shop.
Christopher Clark
I think this is an innovative way to protect the industry area by opening this zoning up so they can put a covenant request on the deed that will recognize the heavy industrial uses north of this property.
Rick Lloyd
The public officials drafting these (zoning codes) have extreme conflicts of interest. Yet they are allowed to drive and perpetuate an agenda that is mean-spirited and not in the public interest.
Jim Mcnulty
We are getting more trees than people in this annexation. There will be a bigger burden on the commissions down the line when these landowners want to change their zoning for houses and commercial development. And we will have to figure out how to get water and sewer service to them. But I think it is fantastic.
Mayor Joann King
We called everybody from local commissioners, zoning trustees, the PUCO. We've called the FCC.
Judi Bruck
Zoning has become a bad word again, but (justices of the peace) need to realize that they've been spending a lot of time this past year taking on all these small component problems with development instead of seeking a big-picture solution.
Larry Kelly
From a zoning point of view, it had everything wrong with it. It was extraordinarily high, and [according to the current master plan for zoning] you're only allowed 30 units per acre. This had 366 units per acre, which was 12 times the permitted density.
Larry Price
There are plenty of questions for us to answer in the zoning case.
David Barnett
Our position is that the zoning board does not exist to establish or create public policy.
Matthew O'connell
It's up to the land and zoning committee. Anything I have will be turned over to them. It will be addressed at their meeting.
Dennis Derosso
The zoning ordinance is always a work in progress and is amended from time to time and will be amended in the future. After so many years of amendments you have a document that is inconsistent. At some places it contradicts itself.
Steve Owen
Our proposal is to incorporate a Home Improvement Store category into the zoning ordinance that will require a parking ratio of one space per 250 square feet of floor space devoted to customer sales and service.
Gene Hinkle
We'll also need to look at areas where development has changed. We'll calculate how much acreage we have for each zoning classification.
Patsy Christie
It's too late for our service (committee, which met Jan. 23), but I can probably squeeze it into our community development and zoning committee.
Jim Watercutter
The zoning board of appeals is prepared to move forward on his use variance. We have not heard from him.
Jim Matthews
We will have to go through the Inland Wetlands Commission and Planning & Zoning before the building can start. We've kind of prepared for a long wait, but the end result will be worth it.
Doloris Giannini
We have a zoning code that doesn't fit into anything coming forward in the future. If we don't do this, everything will need a special use permit.
Scott Nelson
I think there has to be a frank discussion on what the plans are, how they fit with the current zoning laws and what impact they might have on the character of Roosevelt.
Daniel Hoffman
This administration is doing things to create a fair and open process concerning planning and zoning issues. We will continue to mail (development notices) to the 300-foot limit.
David Donnelly
We don't want to have to tiptoe around. By law, the village has to give us zoning. As a religious institution, we're entitled to it. I don't see how we can lose.
Leah Goldstein
We get inquiries for specific disciplines. We're frequently brought in by law firms, and for them we look at specific questions for land-use change, zoning issues and environmental issues. Generally, though, we try to bring in all the disciplines and try to evaluate a project from all perspectives.
Richard Callahan
- Local elected officials need to be careful in deciding whether to approve annexation and zoning agreements which will bring Northwest Illinois Holdings in Pontiac.
Randy Ashley
Under existing zoning, the property could be subdivided and Glebe House could be knocked down and replaced with a series of row houses.
Michael Nardolilli
The board engineer raised a number of issues regarding the traffic engineer's study. We will try to get the modified study to the zoning board within 10 days of the next scheduled meeting.
Philip Shore
When you have down-zoning, people are going to get hurt.
Tom Marshall
She is cashing checks for Dan's campaign and voting on zoning applications from the donors. I don't want to throw mud, but this issue smells a bit.
Christopher Munger
That's been Clive's standard since before I got here - trying to be above the bar. We have for the most part during my time tried to incrementally increase the bar as we went along on different projects when we found new materials or better ways of designing. Just about every year that I've been here, we've made edits to the zoning ordinance.
Doug Ollendike
What's happening is that zoning used to decide what a developer needed to do. Now it's only a start. There's a second list of requirements, meaning more time and more money.
Michael Peterson
The applicant must submit a lighting plan that meets zoning requirements. Hours will not be expanded until the lighting issue is resolved.
Chris Kurth
Want to know if a given behavior is a soft addiction? If any of these characteristics apply, chances are it is: zoning out, avoiding feelings, compulsiveness, denial/rationalization, stinking thinking, and hiding or lying about the behavior.
Judith Wright
If the community of Bigfork does not write its future, the county will write it for us and we will not have a say in such important topics as zoning. The community needs to take charge and write its own destiny.
Shelly Gonzales
The zoning doesn't come up for review. The zoning is effectively vested, and the desire to live at that location is consumer-driven. People still want to live on the water.
Joe Incorvia
We paid a premium for a big lot. I was under the assumption that I could put a pool in as long as the association approved it. I never expected zoning to get in the way.
Sean Connolly
That board is kind of the front line review commission for developments that don't strictly meet all the requirements of the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan.
Grace Bazylewski
We played great defense in the first quarter. Molly, Jen and Cassie were zoning inside and played a tremendously smart game.
Mike Poindexter
There is something to be said about whether or not a community should have contract zoning. A community needs to figure out what it wants where, and at what kind of scale, and then zone for that. I think people are interested in a common playing field. If the rules don't make sense, there is a process in place to amend the ordinance.
Theo Holtwijk
What we need is people who agree to sell and workable zoning and some local government encouragement.
Mac Mcarthur
That statement is totally absurd. Look, all we are saying is what the law always has said: A city has a right to zone, but zoning has to be non-ridiculous — not arbitrary and capricious.
Jake Moore
We were surprised when this law was brought to our attention as a result of the lawsuit because it effectively gives a veto power over something clearly within the (jurisdiction) of the Zoning Board, ... We don't know where this law came from nor why it was put on the books, but we do know that it has not been enforced and we have a legal obligation to either enforce it or repeal it.
Bruce Kennedy
The zoning code change, which eliminates 200 feet between residents and commercial recreation, does not provide the safeguard that residents desire.
Paul Elliott
We're between a rock and a hard place because there is no site plan and we do not have A-1 zoning in the village.
Brandon Johnson
This is the only tool we have to manage school capacity. We're using this as a timing device. Is the land ripe for development? If there aren't enough schools, then no. This is a zoning technique that's used across the country.
Bruce Mcclendon
There are provisions within the ordinances that allow you to appeal where you can apply for special permits, and zoning is a living, breathing, organic process. Zoning isn't written to last a century. So as communities change, zoning can change as well.
John Williams
Part of this was my personal umbrage that the zoning ordinance was being ignored. [Secondly] I think Union City has had the opportunity of a lifetime in the last few years to redevelop in a constructive way, and I think we have squandered that opportunity.
Larry Price
Without zoning approval, you're toast. That's the first thing you have to look at.
Tim Carter
I don't know how he can represent the town and protect it in regard to zoning laws.
Richard Moran
The default zoning for virtually everything in town is housing. We need to examine whether we've gone too far.
Larry Klein
Zoning is another big one. They have authority to implement land use regulations if they felt it was necessary.
Loren Smith
Industry that is looking to move to the county wants zoning.
Billy Baldwin
We are responding. We both are. We're working together to resolve the issues. My job as planning manager is (to make sure) the requirements of the zoning ordinance are met. That's what I am enforcing if you will.
Debra Patzer
We need zoning that will provide for future growth and at the same time preserves the topography that is bringing people here.
Michael Fleming
We have suggested on multiple occasions going back multiple years that they should consider revisiting those zoning categories. To date, they have not done so. Even in the face of Wal-Mart, they have not begun proceedings.
Jerry Brems
Rick has long expressed an interest in serving the residents of our community. His extensive legal experience, together with his enthusiasm to give back to his community and his interest in zoning matters, will make him a valuable member of the board.
Mayor Scott Avedisian
This is the first time the town has looked at [the zoning ordinance] comprehensively since 1971.
Kay Robertson
You guys have done it. We're ready to present this zoning ordinance and zoning map for your recommendation of approval.
Kay Robertson
We are now asking that this subject matter be sent back to county planning and zoning within the next 30 to 90 days.
James Spaay
[When the Lewis Co. bought the land it knew it was zoned agricultural and was limited to one home for every 10 acres.] Going from an agricultural zoning of a minimum 10 acres to one acre lots is a huge change, ... It's more in the best interest of the developer; it's not in the best interest of the community.
David Holtz
This zoning that?s proposed is the death knell of York Beach. I have no doubt in my mind. The concept that anyone could turn York Beach into a year-round tourist destination confounds the logic from the Jersey coast to northern Maine.
Ron Nowell
They'd have to come back and change their zoning conditions first.
Bill Meyer
[The settlement sets a dangerous precedent for future zoning permit disputes in Eureka Springs, Harrison said.] Anybody turned down may now come back to the City Council and offer money and have full expectation of receiving their permit, ... And well have no way to turn them down because weve done it before.
Kathy Harrison
I oppose anything in the way of development that defers from the zoning bylaw of Bayfield. The developers need to meet our existing standards.
David Johnston
A lot of teams have been zoning us for some reason lately. We practiced being patient, trying to get the ball inside first and settling for the perimeter shot second.
Rich Kolimas
The developer was caught up in the changeover between the old planning officer and the new and in that time the three-yearly review of the planning scheme has come into force and Port Campbell township is undergoing a review of the zoning of certain areas.
C. Cumming
I remember calling the solicitor and telling her the judge had overruled the zoning board.
Richard Kirby
They've asked if we could provide some parking specifically for them. But according to the zoning ordinance, we're not allowed to provide off-site parking for residential in a commercial district. It's not legal.
Keith Martin
The zoning board and the Planning Board should honor the Master Plan and what the site was intended to be. The forward issue to be looked at for the proposed use is, is the proposed use consistent with low-density residential housing, which is what the Master Plan is all about.
David Prescott
We found that the use of the property was not what was described in the business license application when we went out there. It was being used as a halfway house for registered sex offenders. The county code does not allow halfway houses within that residential zoning category.
Robert Quigley
I know he [MacDonald] backed away because we were intent on appealing any relief he would have received from the zoning board.
Matthew O'connell
It?s reasonable things that any developer needs to go through with zoning and land development.
Kurt Schenk
From the get-go, no borough ordinances, except maybe zoning ordinances, are going to be enforced.
Bill Stone
It is time for a change in the zoning.
Paul Connolly
Going from an agricultural zoning of a minimum 10 acres to one acre lots is a huge change. It's more in the best interest of the developer; it's not in the best interest of the community.
David Holtz
I have not seen a single statistic or fact put before you or the planning and zoning committee to support the need for a moratorium.
Carol Saviak
There are a couple that we don't know who the owners are. (The planning and zoning administrator) will deal with those.
Larry Green
We had both the community and local political support, and we cleared the zoning well in advance. But this one individual is holding up the completion of our project, and we can't start building until the courts rule on this case.
Don Briggs
This is the Energizer bunny that never runs out of power. The bottom line is that rewriting the constitution is about raising taxes, unlimited home rule and tampering with property rights and zoning issues.
John Giles
We?re reaching out to the citizens of the county. We need to put some faces behind these votes. We think this zoning is problematic.
Ralph Coyle
We should utilize the tools the town has at its disposal, ... By referring the proposals to the Economic Development Commission, that agency could ask the tough questions that should be asked. It would have laid the groundwork for the Planning and Zoning Commission to have pertinent information available before it began to consider either application.
Kevin Cunningham
This has always been zoned for high rise development and could be developed as either residential or office space under the zoning.
Randal B. Kell
The burden is on the ESDC to show that they will bring in the whole community. This is a state project where they are taking away the city's right to review it under the city's zoning laws. It's an enormous undertaking, and they'd better be careful how they do it.
Jeffrey Baker
(Kajima) is trying to make sure there will be no hurdles at planning and zoning. This is the first stage to see if they can get the height they need for the facility.
Pat Topping
We are one of the few places that have zoning in place. The city acted even before the legislature changed the law. I think council and staff saw the very likely possibility that tattooing would be allowed in South Carolina and wanted to be prepared and wanted to have something in place if and when it passed. There's no reason to wait until the last minute if the train is coming down the tracks.
Mark Kruea
It's old, outdated and there's no parking. This will be a dramatic improvement. We know the town is looking to have buildings brought closer to the street, making them more pedestrian friendly. We had to go to the Zoning Board of Appeals to obtain a variance for the building to be located in close proximity to the road.
Sean Hopkins
I truly think the zoning issue that affected the north enders motivated them to get out and vote, those who usually don't vote.
Susan Markin
It's an overlay of zoning.
Robert Gates
You can look at who owns the building. The zoning of the property. The shape of the property. How far you are from various attractions. It's being able to check the legitimacy of what someone tells you.
Jonas Rudofsky
Didn't think her vision was consistent with the ORC, especially the way the Council wishes to work with the ORC. For example, with regard to the zoning ordinance, the Council sees a comprehensive approach, the ORC wants to review the ordinances and simplify them. Pam's vision was counter to that.
Gary Foster
One of the most important things to remember is land-use decisions in Licking County are made at the township level, through township zoning.
Jerry Brems
There are multiple things wrong with it (the existing ordinance), it has regulations going back to the 80's. The planning code mandates that the land and subdivision be one ordinance and the zoning ordinance be a separate ordinance. Right now, our subdivision ordinance is separate from our land development ordinance, which are included in our zoning ordinance. We need to address those items.
Councilman Dave Kucherer
(It's) so we don't start with our plan then find out eight years down the road that the zoning laws have changed.
Brenda Becker
(Spot zoning) is a singling out of one lot or small area for different treatment from that accorded to similar surrounding land from which it is indistinguishable in character or for the economic benefit (or detriment) of property owners.
Greg Morgan
They're so scared of bad apartments. Apartment zoning is not (necessarily) a bad thing.
Chad Wampler
Different zoning requirements aren't as generous. They are more demanding.
Susie Leonard
The challenge is that the city is full of single-family residential zoning.
Kamuron Gurol
The developer is challenging our system. There are a number of issues that have run smack in the face of our zoning ordinance. My take on it is, it's time to start fixing some of those problems.
Patrick Moore
If the special use (zoning) only applied to one specific plot ... then it would be called spot zoning and could be attacked in court.
Barbara Meskunas
Basically it says we are exempt from local zoning.
Susan Tolchin
We need to have stronger zoning codes and building codes, and we need to enforce them.
Bill Bailey
There's a kind of temperature zoning in the solar system.
Mike Zolensky
Nudity by itself does not meet the definition of a sexually oriented business under the zoning law.
Andrew Kline
It sets a bad precedent. All provisions of the building and zoning code must be met.
Nick Tinari
I'm from the city. I could care less what the zoning is out in the country, frankly.
Andy Anderson
The current zoning ordinances allow everything, even down to processing nuclear fuel. Folks think these (agreements) are exceptions, but they're a tightening of what can be used on that land.
Tony Maglione
If there is a business district that is served only by Main Street, then we could identify it that way. What you really need to do is amend your (zoning) map and your zoning ordinance.
Robert Price
There are no zoning controls in this area. This whole thing could be busted up into 150 five-acre lots. But as it is, he's only taking up 20 percent of the area for housing.
Jim Waller
I think the efforts of the zoning committee are very much appreciated.
Rich Herman
[But Williams also said that she was not opposed to any type of development in the area. Since she hasn't seen any plans, it would be difficult to oppose or back any development at this point, she said.] Mr. Biane has actually been very cooperative (concerning county-zoning changes affecting the city), ... It's very appropriate and I believe he would do the same thing.
Diane Williams
We're very much against putting businesses in residential districts, and we're against spot zoning.
Bill Hinckley
When it was even seriously entertained that this would be a zoning issue, I blew up. Absolutely not.
Frank Kameny
Unless the owner can prove a hardship that prevents him or her from complying with zoning rules, a variance is certainly far from being a sure thing.
Walter White
That's why we have zoning.
George Stewart
They (Planners) did a strict calculation of the number of spaces at the site, and determined we had more vehicles than what was allowed in the zoning code.
James Mears
R-P is the county's zoning tool . . . of choice for the vast majority of the county.
Don Charles
Zoning is a local government issue, and we're looking at the regional picture.
Alan Clark
We are very much urging people to show up. These neighborhood comprehensive plan and zoning decisions could have major impacts on home values and what's going on in their own neighborhoods.
Erik Holmstrom
We came up with it initially because we wanted to establish some kind of zoning ordinance ... with the idea that some places might be appropriate and some might not. They are asking for more time to research and determine what they want to recommend for adoption.
