City Manager, Bill Eisen, stated the City's zoning ordinance allows a circumstance where
a primary use can be located in one zoning district and parking, for example, associated
with that primary use can be located in a separate zoning district on adjacent property.
Some issues have been raised by citizens and Councilmembers regarding a specific
circumstance in the City where a commercially zoned property could place a parking lot in
adjacent residential property. This item is to consider establishing a moratorium on the
construction of a parking lot in residentially zoned areas or making a change to the zoning
ordinance.
