Planning commission forwards multiple site-plan and zoning recommendations to City Council
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a site plan for an equipment servicing facility, a rezoning and future-land-use amendment for an aviation hall of fame museum project, a temporary-use code amendment to allow farmers markets up to 300 days, and an updated review process for three- and four-family residential developments.
The Lebanon Planning Commission voted to forward several recommendations to the City Council, approving a site plan and multiple zoning and code amendments for council consideration.
The commission recommended approval of: a site plan for Megan Gas LLC to develop an equipment servicing facility on about 3.03 acres at 206 Hartman Drive; a combined future land use plan amendment, rezoning, and text-specific plan to allow an Aviation Hall of Fame museum, restaurant and event center on about 3.5 acres on Franklin Road (items 2 and 3); a zoning-code amendment to the temporary use section to expressly allow farmers markets for up to 300 days; and a code change to update the approval process for three- and four-family residential developments by removing the full site-plan requirement and creating a new review type for those developments.
Staff recommended approval of each item and motions for "positive recommendation" were made and seconded; each motion passed on voice vote. For the Aviation Hall of Fame item, staff noted the proposal includes a text-specific plan and that City Council readings were expected to be scheduled as first reading and public hearing on April 1, with a second reading on April 15 (dates provided in the transcript). For the Megan Gas site plan, staff noted a minor correction, and recommended approval.
Key details from each item: - Megan Gas LLC: site plan approval for an equipment servicing facility on about 3.03 acres at 206 Hartman Drive in a planned business/industrial park zone; staff recommended approval and the commission approved the recommendation. - Aviation Hall of Fame Museum (Deborah Bough request): request to amend the future land use plan from residential 2 units per acre to public institutional residential, rezone from RD-9 to a text-specific plan to allow an aviation museum, restaurant and event center on roughly 3.5 acres on Franklin Road; staff recommended approval and the commission recommended the item to City Council. A member of the public, Charles Haynes, identified himself as the adjacent property owner and asked whether renderings or drawings were available; staff said none were required for this text-specific plan and that a site plan would be required if the applicant proceeds. - Temporary use code amendment (Luster Farms & staff): changes to Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 10.5 to remove fireworks language and explicitly allow farmers markets up to 300 days; recommended to City Council. - Three- and four-family residential review (Adam Tomlinson request): amendments to Title 14, Chapter 2, Section 3.b.4 and Title 14, Chapter 12, Section 5.b.1 to remove the requirement that these developments submit full site plans and to create a new, streamlined review type; recommended to City Council.
All recorded approvals were recommendations to City Council; final ordinance adoption and any conditions will be determined by the Council. The transcript records voice votes with motions passing; roll-call tallies were not provided in the meeting record.
