All right. I just want to welcome everyone to the Planning Commission meeting tonight. We'll go ahead and get started at 6 p.m. If you would please rise and join me for the Pledge of Allegiance. All right, it is October 27th, and this is the City of Independence Planning Commission meeting. I will ask for the roll call.
Here. All right. As we get started tonight, I would just ask if anyone would like to speak tonight. So you think you might speak, then go ahead and please stand at this time. That would be you on online as well. You're going to go ahead and stand if you're going to speak. And raise your right hand. Do you promise to tell the truth to this commission tonight? If so, say I will. I will.
All right. Thank you. You can be seated. All right. I'm ready for the first. Yes.
Okay. Second. We have a motion for the consent agenda.
Yes, and the motion passes six, excuse me, seven to zero. All right, let's move on with our first case of the evening. I do believe we have a motion?
Okay, can you explain why we need to consider this?
So we have three addresses that need to be removed. We will need a motion in order to change the case number. Madam Chair? Yes.
Okay, we have a first and a second. Any discussion? Okay, is there any particular reason the owner did not want to be a part of their rezoning?
Okay. All right. So we have a motion. Any further discussion?
Yes. I think clarification, too, is that if we exclude it tonight, he can always come in the future and ask for rezoning the other way as well. Rick, I would probably like you to, can you kind of jump in here? Because we talked a little bit about a staffing initiative rezoning versus an individual and just why we would not want to tell an owner what they have to do.
Yeah, I think our attorney, is there any liability here of keeping it included in this staffing zoning change?
Of the owner not wanting the zoning change, and we don't take those three addresses out.
All right, we do have a motion on the table to remove these three addresses. Any additional conversation before we vote?
Would you like to withdraw your motion at this point?
All right. All right, the motion has been withdrawn and we will now continue with the staff report. Thank you, Brian.
All right. Thank you very much. Open it up for discussion.
All right, so for clarity, we have a motion, and it's been seconded to remove and amend the current case, case number 26113, to not include numbers 10,001, 10,007, and 10,019. Correct. All right, so any further discussion? All right, I will call a vote on the motion to amend the case.
Votes, yes. Okay. So that's a vote of five to two in favor of the case. Now I will open up for a motion on the case.
All right, we have case number 26113. Second. That has now been amended, and I have a first and a second. Any final discussion? All right, I will go ahead and call for the vote. Commissioner Suffolk.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
All right. Thank you very much. Any questions for our staff? Yes, Commissioner Nesbitt.
All right. Any additional questions for staff? All right. At this time, I invite the applicant forward. And sir, I know you were not sworn in. So once you stand, you would raise your right hand. Do you promise to tell the truth to this commission tonight? If so, say I will. I will. All right. And, Jen, state your name and your address, and we'll need to get the mic on. There you go.
All right. What would you like us to know about this rezoning application?
Okay, great. Commissioners, any questions for our applicant? Okay, you can be seated for now.
Thank you. Is there anyone present who would like to speak in favor of this case? Anyone to speak in favor? Seeing none, is there anyone present who would like to speak in opposition of this case? Anyone to speak in opposition? Seeing none, any final comments, questions? All right, I'm going to go ahead and close the public hearing. And, yes, Commissioner O'Neill.
