Brian Mahaffey was present for the meeting.
Chairman Holt asked for the Staff Report. Justin Erickson summarized the staff report.
The area requested for rezone is a narrow strip of land approximately 60 feet wide by 435.66 feet long. Mr. Erickson stated that rezoning the site to C-3 will facilitate expansion of the existing storage business and will form a logical border and boundary for the C-3 zoned properties in this vicinity. This property was annexed into the City of Shawnee in September of 2004 along with many other surrounding properties.

Staff recommended approval of the request to rezone 39206 W. MacArthur from RE to C-3.

Justin Erickson answered questions from the Commission.

John Holt opened the public hearing asking if anyone wanted to speak for this proposal. Brian Haffey came forwarded and explained he wanted the rezoning for future expansion.

John Holt asked if anyone wanted to speak against the proposal. John Blossom came forward with questions concerning his property across the street. His property was also annexed into the city limits. His understanding was that when the property was annexed into Shawnee city limits it could not be rezoned. John Holt explained that was a misunderstanding. The Commission answered questions from Mr. Blossom.

Chairman Holt asked for a motion, Commissioner Nickles made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Maltos to approve rezoning 39206 W. MacArthur from RE to C-3.

Motion carried:
AYE: Nickles, Maltos, Turner, Silvia, Hoster, Carter and Holt
