2. Permissable use. Stand alone Commercial Recreation or Training is a conditional use if the Comprehensive Plan guides the property as mixed use or highway business. The underlying land use is guided Light Industrial. Therefore, the property can only be approved as an accessory use of the Educational Institutial use. The parcel that hosts the high school must be expanded to host the dome unless a Comprehensive Plan amendment is processed and approved. 3. Building design standards. The Business Park Zoning District does have building design standards that would apply. While fabric or canvas is not a listed approved material, the planning department could determine fabric is an acceptable material. Based on staffls present knowledge about domes of this type, staff is inclined to state that the material is not acceptable. This opinion may be appealed. 4. Access. Access to the site is proposed via a drive from the Spectrum High School lot. This may impact wetlands or established drainage patterns. 5. Site configuration. Based on the size communicated, a redesign of the dome site will be necessary in order to avoid existing easements. Staff has prepared an exhibit to illustrate the special relationships at play. 6. EDA. An update was provided to the Economic Development Authority at their meeting on July 11, 2011. The EDA had concerns with the placememnt of the dome on the property, due in part to concerns with using limitied land resources for non manufacturing uses, visibility of the dome to Twin Lakes Road and (possibly) Highways 10/ 169, and what message a dome send to other users that have had to meet bursiness park requirements. 7. Park Commission. An update was provided to the Park Commission on July 13, 2011. In speaking with park staff, it seems as though the parks and recreation departments would find the dome as an asset for the city. 8. Process. Should the Council feel the dome is an acceptable use in this location, the following processes, at minimum will need to be undertaken, including Lot split/ replat, Conditional Use Permit amendment Appeal (of planning departments decision that the fabric is not acceptable.) The EDA will need to be signatories to these applications as they own the property.
