They'll do like a base zone.

And so you'll have like, you know how we have GC and R1, R2R3.

You just have the same zoning structure, only you put like a D next to it.

And so that because the state's been after cities to update their zoning maps a little bit because there's so many nuances and that the state tries to keep uh keep track of all of the city's different zoning ordinances and they get these shape files and then they can like compile them all, but it's not doesn't really reflect the true thing because there's all these little asterisk notes, conditions and things like that.

And so a lot of cities are doing revamping their whole zoning ordinance to have like a it you use a base zone and then you know that you're required to have a development agreement with the specifics of that rezone, and then that goes into the map and it actually shows as like a hash or a different color, and then you like know which ones, and we've been talking about updating our zoning map to just sometimes we do have specific development agreements on there and just having like a layer that has a hatch or a uh whatever the little dots or something to say this is a zoning, this is a development agreement zone.

I I like that idea, and I think that would be something that would be a good thing to be investigated in the future.

In the meantime, I in my opinion, pretty clear, I think it's a good system.

Sorry.

I do agree with you, Mr.

Baker a little bit.

Tiny that might be a good thing, but uh three years.

Kelly is a three year plus year extension.

I just kind of along these lines.

I I feel like you should have some kind of plan that you can move with.

If if you give them potentially four years, it's like, well, I have no idea what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna figure it out, and then whatever falls through, and then I'll I'll keep changing my mind and you know it just seems like it could potentially just be a blank spot in your commercial zone, things develop and then you just end up with weird parcels and it just seems like we could kind of guide that a little bit more and require maybe a little bit more uh skin in the game before we just allow a rezone.

I had a question.

Will the will the section that we're referencing provide um notice to the to the applicant who filed the zoning change and or the building, the property owner it would provide so that they're not caught unaware and not aware they can file for an extension?

It would like a standard noticing goes off of property ownership with the county, so the property owner should be aware that their property was rezoned unless it's been transferred.

An applicant probably not, but it'd go off property ownership.

Okay.

One thing to consider, as well as the the rezones that would never have a building permit associated with them.

So uh we do every so often get somebody who's with these old farm parcels and stuff, you get a house in the setbacks, so they rezone their property to bring their property into compliance because they had a title report to sell their house, whatever new building permit required.

If we do this with those folks, it's gonna revert them back into non-compliance.

Uh same with people who rezone for animals.

Uh, we also re-rezone or set up uh what is it, the agricultural sort of agro-tourism stuff.

A lot of that stuff wouldn't require building permits.

We'd say, Yeah, you can do that, and then I guess maybe they have to add nauseum, I guess.

Uh apply for extensions.

So just things uh to consider if it doesn't require a building permit, some sort of indication of that.

Well, and that's what I'm saying.

Well, I was gonna say his original suggestion of the I'm sorry, I forget my fellow commissioner's last name.

Um at the end in the blue.

Uh if we tried in something about the option for an exemption, that would cover a lot of these issues of the city council would still have the discretion to say this reversion doesn't apply blanket to every re zone.

There are some rezones that are beneficial to everyone involved.

And we would want those to be in perpetuity without waiting for like an entire comprehensive update to our zoning that.

So does that mean that everything's available for exemption and we have to review every single one, or would we specify specific exemption opportunities they would qualify for?

Otherwise, we might be in a whole lot of paperwork looking at every possibility.

I I think maybe if we look at the word building permit, really we want them to start their project.

Like we don't really care whether or not it's building permit or occupancy, or we want them to start the project.

And if there was never really an anticipated project to begin with, like you're just rezoning for animals or you know, like like you're saying I don't think it should expire.

So maybe we need to change the word.

I don't know, maybe there's a different hurdle to clear.

I was gonna say actually, in regards to the building permit requirement, what if it was just like show substantial progress towards development?

Um, since building permit is a little is probably a bit too rigid to apply to everything.

What if they had to come back to us every year and just kind of give us a report on progress?

That sounds like a hardship for a homeowner who not trying to go through a development process you know, process.

Yeah, I think there's kind of two different buckets here.

There's people that are rezoning for development and people that are rezoning for other reasons.

And yeah, maybe we can figure out a way to we don't have to wordsmith it right now, but maybe that can be part of your recommendation, is just that there's an exception written in for non-project-based rezons.

That makes sense.

Yeah, there's the rub right there.

That also opens up the uh option for even more point to the argument of looking at our zoning in general and saying, okay, somebody doing this is not gonna be uh uh affected by this particular rule.

So if they're in this zone, they don't get a little B or the dot dot dot next to their zoning or whatever.

But anybody that fits within this, they and I think that would be the opportunity for us to be able to say, okay, somebody doing an agro tourism, obviously not going to be affected by this per se.

Somebody that's doing it to bring on animals or something like that, not going to be affected by this, but somebody that's doing general commercial that is specifically looking to build something uh and bring something to the city that way, they definitely could look right up to the standard.

Satisfy me.

I'm I'm just concerned about big gaps in our in our development plan.

Right.

So if if we could be amenable to people that are just trying to live their lives in a way that is not affecting kind of the main general plan, then I'm I'm fine with that.

Yeah, I just don't want to have.
