ITEM 1 AUTO REPAIR AND SERVICE USES — Ken Pulskamp, City Manager,
introduced the item and Kai Luoma, Senior Planner, presented the item focusing
on auto service use types for inventory purposes, auto services by area and
locational criteria for auto repair and service uses.
Vince Bertoni, Interim Director of Planning and Building Services, commented
on Porta Bella and asked if Council/Planning Commission would like to see the
UDC curb the concentration of these types of business in certain zones; should
there be special development criteria just for auto uses; and should there be
requirements that limit concentration of these businesses in certain areas.
Council / Planning Commission questions, concerns and comments
included: Grouping same types of repair business together; noise factor;
mitigating negative issues; visual impact, parking and storage; mix of service in
retail areas could be problematic; ensuring that Planning Commission has tools
to make proper decision; revising development code and design standards; the
burden of adding time and cost to businesses if requiring a Conditional Use
Permit; possible requirement that all auto uses go to Planning Commission;
limiting concentration of this type of businesses in certain areas; clustering
options that works; identifying areas where auto uses would be appropriate.
Ken Pulskamp, City Manager, suggested that requiring a CUP in all areas
except where the City has designated as appropriate for auto uses. Council
concurred.
Public comment was made by an unidentified gentleman regarding outreach to
businesses.
Mayor Kellar adjourned the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
