| An Ordinance to Amend the District Zoning Map of the City of Gillette, Wyoming, for Property Generally Located at 4180 Butler Spaeth Road and Legally Described as a Portion of Lot 1A, Edwards Subdivision and Property Generally Located at 3945 Ariel Avenue and Legally Described as a Portion of Tract T, Moon Meadow Estates No. 3 Subdivision from C-3, Business/Services District, to I-1, Light Industrial District, Subject to all Planning Requirements. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Ordinance first reading: 4/0 (Absent: Carsrud, Jerred, & Mayor Opseth)
Ordinance second reading: 7/0
The applicant has amended their original re-zoning request to keep the eastern portion of the property within the C-3, Business/Services Zoning District. The revised request proposes to re-zone the western part of the property from C-3, Business/Services District, to I-1, Light Industrial District as a result of neighborhood concerns presented at the Planning Commission Meetings
.
The area requested to be rezoned is 7.25 acres. The area which remains as C-3, Business/Services District is 11.59 acres. The two (2) land parcels are located in two (2) different subdivisions and are adjacent to one another. The properties are along the east side of Butler Spaeth Road, near the intersection with Shoshone Road. Tract T of Moon Meadows Estates No. 3 is a long and thin piece of property at 1.88 acres. Lot 1A of the Edwards Subdivision is 16.96 acres.
An amendment to the Zoning Map shall not take place unless at least one (1) of two (2) criteria exists as set forth in Section 12 of the City of Gillette Zoning Ordinance.
a. The Zoning Map may be amended when there is a need to correct an obvious error. In this case there was no obvious error.
b. The Zoning Map may be amended to recognize changing conditions within the City. This request does recognize changing conditions in the community.
Section 12 of the City of Gillette Zoning Ordinance also provides for a minimum size land area of five (5) acres for an I-1, Light Industrial District. The rezoning request is made up of 7.25 acres, and surpasses the minimum size requirement for an I-1 Zoning District.
At the Planning Commission Meeting of September 23, 2014, this case was tabled and was removed from the table for action at the October 14, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the amended rezoning request to City Council. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I move for Approval of an Ordinance to Amend the District Zoning map of the City of Gillette, Wyoming for property generally Located at 4180 Butler Spaeth Road and legally Described as a Portion of Lot 1A, Edwards Subdivision and Property Generally Located at 3945 Ariel Avenue and Legally Described as a Portion of Tract T, Moon Meadow estates No. 3 Subdivision from C-3, Business/Services District, to I-1, Light Industrial District, Subject to All Planning Requirements on Third and Final Reading. |
