Planning/Zoning Commission Members Miller, Lucas, Kalsto, Moreno, and Brady were present at the hearing. Members Atkinson and Grabowski were absent. Due to COVID-19, this meeting was also streamed live on the internet.
City of Peru Corporate Counsel Scott Schweickert stated the City annexed these properties by ordinance on January 7, 2019. Pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Zoning Ordinance, the properties were automatically zoned R-1, Single Family District upon annexation. Attorney Schweickert stated that R- 1, Single Family District is the City’s most restrictive zoning classification. The City requests rezoning of 14 parcels to B-4, Business Highway District and 7 parcels to M-2, Manufacturing District. These zoning classifications are more appropriate for the location of these properties generally located along U.S. Route 6, and less restrictive with respect to allowed uses.
City Engineer Eric Carls stated that a few of the parcels have existing residential homes. The rezoning of those parcels will have minimal impact and they will continue to exist as a non-conforming use.
There were no objectors at the hearing.
The Planning/Zoning Commission found that rezoning the properties as prayed for in the Petition will not alter the essential character of the locality; will not be detrimental or injurious to other properties in the area; will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or diminish or impair property values and will not increase street congestion and, therefore, recommends to the City Council that the request for rezoning be approved
Member Lucas moved, and Member Brady seconded, that the Petition as prayed for be favorably recommended to the City Council. The motion passed unanimously: 5 aye, 0 nay, and 2 Members absent.
