Planning l:inunnissum Minutes Page 8 May 27,2014 Mr. Leeseberg explained that one of the permitted home occupation criteria is that parking for the business is located on-site. He stated that it would be difficult to monitor if the 4110 clients were allowed to park on the street. By requiring on-site parking, there is some accountability and it would not be difficult to count the cars on site to see if the requirements of the permit were being met. Chair Johnson asked why the applicant had to go through this CUP process and she was not allowed to apply for a general home occupation permit. Mr. Leeseberg explained that staff and the city attorney determined this service was a retail use and that retail home occupations require a CUP. Mr. Leeseberg explained the difficulty in establishing what type of business Ms. Will was operating and that after consulting with the city attorney, it was determined that it most closely resembled a retail business, since the exchange is a type of payment (like for like). Bonnie Douglas stated that when she first moved to the neighborhood, drivers thought their street was an access to Highway 169 and the traffic was terrible. She stated that the limited amount of traffic they have now is nothing compared to what it was. Commissioner Konietzko asked if any thought was given to issuing an Interim Use Permit. Mr. Leeseberg stated no. Mr. Maas stated he would not want to see a specific time line put on the permit. He stated that if the applicant had funding coming in, it would be easier to know when she could move • the operation. He asked that if anyone in the community had space they were willing to donate, they would like to hear from them. There being no further public comments, Chair Johnson closed the public hearing. Chair Johnson stated that with the limitations and structuring of the CUP, he was in favor of recommending approval. Motion by Commissioner Keller and seconded by Commissioner Larson-Vito to recommend approval of the request by Julliane Will for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a home occupation at 11508 190th Lane NW, consisting of a non-profit retail use "The Clothing Exchange/Molly's World Inc.", with the following conditions: 1.
