Councilman Eidson seconded the amendment to the motion. Councilman Baljo explained that the reasons for this amendment are that a new business should not be overly restricted as long as they do not disrupt the neighborhood where i t would be located,and eventually the General Plan may be revised to reflect this, and that the amendment may solve the problem of storage. City Attorney David Alexander asked where the 4000 square footage i s mentioned,as i t i s not referred to i n Section 16.0404. Mr.Newcomer stated that this i s referred to i n the regulations for the C-2 zoning,but that evidently Councilman Baljo only wishes the footage reduced for the light warehousing use,and not to apply to all other uses. Councilman Baljo confirmed this clarification. Councilman Eidson asked for an explanation of how a reduction of footage would benefit the applicant. Councilman Baljo explained that the 4000 square feet i s for the business only,a use for storage of 1600 square feet i s not presently allowed,and this amendment will give the opportunity for the storage use.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MARCH 18,1986 PAGE 3 OF 13 Mr.Keith Stachar addressed the Council stating that C-3 i s appropriate for Superstition Boulevard at Ironwood as i t i s an extremely busy street,and should be classified as higher than Local Commercial. Vice Mayor Bakkedahl agreed with the possibility of a change i n zoning,although disagreeing that traffic i s a basis. Councilman Baljo asked i f the applicant i s withdrawing the request for C-3 zoning. Mr.Stachar replied that C-3 would be preferable,but i f only C-2 with a conditional use i s permissible,than C-2 would be accepted. Mr.McNulty explained that since C-2 zoning i s more restrictive than the original request for C-3,the Council has the authority to change the zoning to C-2. Councilman Baljo asked the applicant i f C-2 zoning would be acceptable. Mr.Stachar stated that i n light of the situation with the General Plan,C-2 would be sufficient. Councilman Baljo asked i f paragraphs 2 and 3 of the ordinance would apply due to the adoption of Ordinance No.487. Mr.McNulty stated that paragraphs 2 and 3 would be deleted from Ordinance No.455 since they no longer apply.

Councilman Eidson stated that 40 mph from Ironwood Drive and San Marcos i s too fast because of the many children residing i n that area,and that the speed limit should be the same from Ironwood to Idaho Road. Mr.Braman explained that the primary concern i s the enforcement of the speed limits,and the studies determine that 85%of the travelers are driving at 40 mph,and with this as the established speed limit it's more feasible that i t can be enforced. Councilman Baljo asked what the present speed limits are. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MARCH 18,1986 PAGE 5 OF 13 Mr.McNulty replied that i t i s 35 mph from Ironwood to San Marcos and 25 mph posted,but not enacted on, from San Marcos to Idaho because the 25 mph sign was not installed by the city.

City Attorney Alexander stated that the ordinance was designed to disburse these activities or sales throughout certain areas of the city rather than having a concentration,therefore creating a "skidrow"type of area i n the city.
