ROCKY MOUNTAIN BATTERY AND RECYCLING - #51-89
Ted Shepard gave the staff report recommending approval.
Member Strom indicated his concern centered on the best method to accomplish
this proposal. He felt perhaps a rezoning was better than granting a variance.
He believed to qualify for a variance the applicant must 1) prove hardship due
to the current situation, and 2) show no adverse public effect will result.
Member O'Dell questioned the difference in the process for the two methods,
wondering why the PUD was pursued, and indicated a hardship was suffered
because the applicant could not meet all point chart requirements.
Mr. Shepard replied that recycling would be a use by right in the IG Zone.
The PUD process was pursued because it offered site plan review, and the
applicant felt the use was appropriate for the location as well as time
considerations.
