Moen said the Council will receive additional informa- ton prior o the public hearing. Moen explained the ordinance would permit entrepreneurial or small scale industry in the CI -1 zone; restricts floor area for each occupant to $5,000 square feet; and requires each occupant, prior to receiving a building permit, demon- strate compliance with the performance requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Moen said the ordinance also lists a number of prohibitive uses within that zone. On August 20, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the ordinance by a 3-2 vote. Baker requested additional information regarding where current CI -1 zones are located. In response to Dickson, Moen explained two Planning 8 Zoning members voted in opposition of the ordinance because of concerns regarding the type of uses that may locate within some of the CI -1 zones, preference for a list of permitted uses, and concerns about permitting industrial use within commercial zones. In response to Baker, Moen said the ordinance was initiated because of interest by a small scale industry to locate within a CI -1 zone.
