#10 Refer to Plan Commission ordinance amending section on industrial districts (File Ord. #2010-455)
Community Development Department Memorandum
Date: May 17, 2010
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Duane Cherek, Planning Services Manager
SUBJECT: Introduce, refer to Plan Commission and schedule a public hearing on a
proposed ordinance amending Section 18.36.050 (Industrial Districts) of
the Code of General Ordinances (File Ordinance No. 2010-455).
The Community Development Department has prepared attached Ordinance No. 2010-
455 which amends Section 18.36.050 (Industrial Districts) of the Code of General
Ordinance. Currently, the M1 (Light Industrial) District allows public recreation facilities
as a permitted use; however, private recreation facilities are not permitted in the
industrial zone district. The ordinance amendment proposes to combine both public
and private recreation facilities into the same zoning classification and permit the activity
as a conditional use in the M1 District. The ordinance amendment would also add
gymnastics, dance schools, fitness centers and trade schools to the list of conditional
uses within the M1 District.
The Community Development Department recommends that following the first reading
of Ordinance No. 2010-455, it be referred to the Plan Commission for review and
recommendation and then scheduled for City Council public hearing on July 12, 2010.
