public Hearing-
Rezoning/Final
Development Plan 700
NW Argosy Pkwy.
Vice Chair Mike Lombardo opened the public hearing at 6:32 p.m.
Community Development Director Mike Duffy gave a brief staff
report explaining that the property in question has been vacant
since this summer. The property owner has a new prospective
tenant. Because the property is zoned GP-I and that is considered
to be a holding district the process is to rezone all property to PD
when there is a change in use. Previously the property has been
used as office space and a gym. The new tenant, Haarslev, will
work on commercial grade food processing equipment.
Homer William with WSKF, Architects gave an overview of the
modifications that will be done to the building to include a small
expansion on the north side of the building and some minor
outdoor storage on the east side of the building.
Hans-Henrik Nissen, President of Haarslev addressed the
Commission and explained that his company has outgrown their
current space. He currently has 25 employees and may expand up
to 50 employees.
Commissioner Uhl asked for more information about the outdoor
storage.

David Thatcher at 4417 NW Indian Lane addressed the
Commission with a concern that the city is lacking affordable
maintenance provided housing for its ageing population. He gave

some general discussion about this need and agreed that if a
developer ever proposed such an idea the commission would be in
support of it.
