Motion Soivey second Morgan to deny reading of proposed ORDINANCE TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 83 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF TIFFIN, IOWA BY CHANGING THE USE CLASSIFICATION FROM OF CERTAIN PROPERTY R-1 (SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) AND A-2 (RESTRICTED AGRICULTURAL) TO M-1 (INDUSTRIAL) at 141 Railroad Street. Bream: I have a hard time with why it was zoned residential in the first place. Spivey: When McCrabb came in, there wasn't any zoning. He promised a lot of people a lot of things and none of it was done. I'd like to see something that would benefit the town. Bream: I question the legality of the original zoning. Spivey: The original plan put everything on the highway as commercial and everything else as residential. Stratton: People wanted it done that way. Spivey: McCrabb had to get permission from residents within 300 feet. This is how the business got started. Bream: It takes 2-4 months each time. Spivey: If it looks good, a special meeting could be called. Bream: People see R-1 and turn their back. Kern: If it is rezoned to M-1 tonight and someone comes in with a request which does not fit into M-1 uses right now, would he still have to go through the whole procedure? Attorney: Yes. Hart: Could the council discuss other options now which would be acceptable? Kern: Yes, but they could not make a decision since it's not on the agenda. Attorney: Right. Kern: The state law describes the procedure. It hurts small towns who only meet once a month. The council hears the request and then the P&Z has to wait until after the next regular council meeting to hold a public hearing. There's no way to get around that. The only way to speed it up is to call a special council meeting right after the P&Z meeting to get a final decision
