JUSTICE CENTER - REQUEST FOR VACATION OF ALLEY - A public hearing for the vacation requested was opened at the regular Planning Commission meeting on June 20, 2006. This hearing was continued to provide staff with the opportunity to respond to comments from Mr. Fred Simmons. The responses can be found in the staff report prepared by Andy Limbird. The applicant, the City of Springfield, is requesting the right-of-way vacation to facilitate development of a Municipal Justice Center and Jail on the downtown city block containing the subject alley. Planner: Andy Limbird 15 Minutes b. FORMAL INTERPRETATION – INDUSTRIAL USES The applicant Jim Spickerman, has requested that the Planning Commission provide a formal interpretation of whether a home improvement center is a permitted use in the Heavy Industrial (HI) zoning district. Interpretations of new uses are processed under the Type II procedure unless the Director determines that the application should be reviewed as a Type III decision by the Planning Commission due to its complexity or need for discretionary review. Because an affirmative decision that a home improvement center is allowed in the industrial district could have broad implications on the retail composition of the industrial district, the Director has elevated the review of this application to the Planning Commission.
