beyond his original intention to require a use permit fo~ persons
with commercially zoned property wanting to construct an office
building, and he questioned the magnitude of the ordinance. The
Community Development Director apologized for the ordinance length,
but stated it reflects the type of City zoning ordinance, described
as a "pyramid type" ordinance, which is very repetitive.
Councilman Greinke felt the proposed ordinance will have the net
effect of spiraling professionally-zoned land values. Mayor
Hoesterey commented Council's intent was to requi re Use Permits for
office buildings in commercial districts to protect the tax base,
which is far 1 ess for office buildings than commercial uses.
