APPROVAL OF MAY 24 , 1993 MINUTES
Al Haylor MOVED was made to accept the May 24 , 1993 minutes as
presented. The motion was SECONDED. Motion CARRIED.
Zoning Code Amendment: #ZCA-93-5 To allow an Indoor Paintball Arena
and Law Enforcement Training Facility, in the M2 , Limited Industrial ,
zoning district.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Harris recapitulated the
applicant' s request. He read the purpose statement for the M2 , Limited
Industrial, district into the record. This type of use needs to be
located in the type of structure, 40, 000 square feet or more, that are
constructed in the M2 , as well as the M1, zone. The commercial zones,
where it is currently allowed, usually do not have that amount of space
available. Mr. Harris mentioned the one problem that should be
addressed is the potential of inadequate parking for this increased use
of a warehouse building. He pointed out that usually this type of use,
as well as other uses such as health clubs, require more parking that
would be typically required by a warehouse type use. Mr. Harris
requested the Commissioners to consider allowing this use in the Ml,
Industrial Park, zone also. He stated the type of building necessary
for the paintball arena is constructed in both the M1 and M2 zones and,
therefore, the use should be considered to be allowed in both zones.
Mr. John Ryckman, applicant on behalf of K. C. Crusaders, indicated
that he came to answer any questions that the Commissioners may have on
