The Agency and City Council reviewed the lot consolidation at Second
and La Porte and responded to the inquiry of the Planning Commission
by adopting the following motion:
It was moved by Councilman Saelid and seconded by Councilman Margett
that as a policy the Agency is on record as favoring the consolidation
of undersized M-l properties into larger conforming parcels without
leaving small isolated substandard lots that cannot be practically
incorporated into an adjacent property or development. The Agency
in its review of lot consolidation L-78-27 has noted that the lot
consolidation is being considered after the development on the
subject parcel has taken place. This fact eliminates most of the
conditions which might be used to compel the consolidation of the
corner property (401 N. Second Ave.). At this time the Agency does
not see a means whereby the applicant could be required to consolidate
the remaining parcel within the present Agency program, such that it
is both economically feasible to the applicant and the Agency. It
was noted that if there is an expansion of the present development
in the future that the feasibility of incorporation of the corner
parcel into an amended map be studied.
