The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this application on May 2, May 16, June 6, and July 18, 1994. On May 16, 1994 the Commission voted to recommended a rezone from R5 to C2 with a development agreement to be prepared jointly by the Planning and Zoning Staff and the Hiatts. The development agreement was to return to Planning and Zoning prior to this issue being placed before City Council. On July 18, 1994 the Commission heard testimony that the Planning and Zoning Staff and Mr. Hiatt were not able to come to an agreement and the Commission recommended the application be denied. The existing business, Custom Masonry, was found to be an illegal non-conforming use. The business has been in the present location for 11 years, but was established after the zoning regulations were adopted in 1978. Eagle City Council History The Eagle City Council heard this application on August 23, September 27, and October 11, 1994. On September 27, 1994 the Council voted (two for the motion, two against) to deny the application as presented. As the vote was not a super majority, the Council accepted Planning and Zoning recommendation to deny. On October 11, 1994, the applicant presented testimony that the Planning and Zoning Commissioners' denial was based upon the lack of a development agreement. The applicant also stated that he would present a new development agreement which he believed the Planning and Zoning Commission would approve. The Council voted to reconsider the application. They then voted to remand the matter back to Planning and Zoning for consideration of a rezone request, in view of the newly proposed development agreement.
