Reduest by The Home Depot for a Conditional Use Permit to amend PUD agreement, Case No. CU 11-17a 5.4. Reduest by The Home Depot for a Conditional Use Permit for Penske Truck Rental, Case No. CU 11-17b The staff report was presented by Planner Chris Leeseberg. Mr. Leeseberg noted that truck rental is currently not allowed in the PUD. Mr. Leeseberg discussed issues with the locating of the parked trucks and whether or not advertising on the trucks should be considered "signage". Staff is recommending that the PUD be amended to include language allowing the leasing of moving/delivery trucks, as noted in the staff report to the Commission dated • October 11, 2011. Chair Ives opened the public hearing. David Behrens of GreenbergFarrow -stated he was representing the applicant. He stated the Penske truck rental was a new program for The Home Depot. Commissioner Scott asked if there would be any maintenance of vehicles on site. Mr. Behrens stated that is not their intent. Chair Ives asked if there would ever be more than six vehicles on site. Mr. Behrens stated that most of their sites have 2 - 4 trucks and that their hope is that the trucks will be on the road, not sitting on site. Commissioner Westberg asked if there was any possibility of an agreement for advertising on the trucks. Mr. Barnhart stated that the city cannot regulate what is on the trucks, noting that is part of the reasons staff has recommended locating the parked trucks away from the entrance. Chair Ives asked if there is a possibility more than six trucks could be on site. Mr. Barnhart stated that the goal is to keep them on the road, and he did not feel this was a potential issue. Chair Ives asked if staff feels there is a potential traffic issue with the parked trucks. Mr. Barnhart stated no, and that is why staff is recommending placing a limit of 26-ft. long trucks to be parked. He felt that this restriction would prevent trucks from blocking the drive aisle and they would fit in a parking stall. • Page 3
