Mr. Baker: This is the March 27, 2023 meeting of Zanesville City Council’s Community Development Committee. It’s 5:00 in the City Council Chambers. Can we do a roll call? The committee members present were: Councilperson Mark Baker, Chairman; Councilperson Jan Bradshaw for Second Ward; Councilperson Todd Ware for Third Ward; and Councilperson Brad Wolfe for Fourth Ward. Others in attendance were: Billie Corns, Clerk of Council Cody Pettit, Council-at-Large Chris Crook, Times Recorder Reporter Matt Schley, Community Development Director Glen Gregor, IT Daniel Vincent, President of Council Mayor Don Mason APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 27, 2023 Mr. Baker: Hearing that we have a quorum, the first item up for bid is the approval of the minutes of February 27, 2023. Miss Bradshaw moved to approve the minutes of February 27, 2023, and Mr. Wolfe seconded the motion. Mr. Baker: Those in favor of such approval, please say aye. Those opposed say nay. A voice vote was taken with all present in favor. None were opposed. Mr. Baker: The ayes have it; the minutes are hereby approved. The next item is Ordinance 2023-26. 3. Ordinance No. 2023-26 – An Ordinance to amend and revise the zoning map and make permanent zoning in the City of Zanesville, Ohio as herein provided. Matt Schley: So, this is to rezone three parcels on State Street that are currently zoned C-4 Highway Commercial. The owners are the Mattingly family, and they have requested to rezone to industrial. These…we’ll just take a step back…to be honest, this is very simple, and it’s cleaning up our zoning map. Essentially what it is the surrounding areas is industrial, the properties are used industrially. The Mattingly’s are attempting to clean up some of those zoning issues with their properties. As such, they need to rezone to I-1. This went before the Planning Commission in February. Due to timelines and how meetings fell, we weren’t able to get it on for first reading until the first meeting in March. There Page 1 of 3 will be a public hearing on this in April. We’ve had zero comments from the public for or against this. And it was unanimously recommended by the Planning Commission for adoption. Mr. Baker: Matt, how long have these parcels been used for industrial? Matt Schley: For a very long time. I can’t give you an exact timeline. Mr. Baker: So, what exactly prompted the need to clean this up, the zoning map? Matt Schley: I am not privy to that information. My assumption is that they’re attempting to combine some of their lots, and you can’t have two zoning classifications on one lot. Mr. Baker: That makes sense. Okay. Anything else from the committee? Mr. Ware: What is currently on those lots? Matt Schley: They are vacant. Mr. Ware: They’re vacant? I don’t quite understand. Is that right next to the carwash or? Matt Schley: No, this is at Mattingly Foods. These specific lots are across the street from B&H Towing. Mr. Ware: Okay. Mayor Mason: You would not be able to notice these being different than the rest of the parking lot. I actually think it was zoned that way, maybe 15 years ago, because someone was selling cars there. Matt Schley: It’s possible. Mayor Mason: And they rezoned it because of that. And I’m just going from memory from when I was on the Planning Commission, like 15 years ago. Matt Schley: We had also heard reports, and we’ve heard about the cars, but we also had heard at one time Mattingly’s wanted to have a storefront there. And you couldn’t have that in industrial, so they had changed it. I don’t, for whatever reason, we changed these three lots to C-4. It’s not currently being used for commercial. It’s being used as an industrial parcel. Mr. Ware: So that’s where the parking lot sets at right now? Matt Schley: Yes. Mr. Baker: Anything else from the committee? Hearing nothing, I will entertain a motion to recommend this for passage by City Council. Page 2 of 3 Mr. Ware made a motion to recommend for passage by City Council. It was seconded by Mr. Wolfe. Mr. Baker: Hearing a motion and a second, those in favor of such recommendation, please say aye. Those opposed say nay. A voice vote was taken with all present in favor. None were opposed. Mr. Baker: The ayes have it, and it’s hereby recommended to City Council. We have a short agenda today. There are no items for discussion. Matt, do you have anything extemporaneous? Matt Schley: I hope to see everyone down at the Colt Ford concert on Thursday. We’re going to announce our Summer Concert Series. I hope you can make it. Mayor Mason: Preceded by Appalachian Outlaws. (Laughter in the room). Mr. Baker: The band or is this like a takeover? (More laughter). Hey, whatever, I’ll show. It’s all good. Anything else from the committee? I’ll entertain a motion to adjourn. Mr. Wolfe moved to adjourn, and it was seconded by Mr. Ware. Mr. Baker asked for all in favor of adjourning to say aye. All were in favor. None were opposed. Motion carries.
