Memo to the Mayo & City Council/OA 00-6 <br />June 5, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />portion does not. The retail portion would fit if the underlying land use was Highway <br />Business, but the primary function would then not be permitted. <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing to allow limited retail sales as an accessory in the Business <br />Park District when the underlying land use is Light Industrial if the following conditions <br />are met: <br /> <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br /> <br />The sales are not located within an administrative office or commercial <br />sales building. <br />No more than 15% of the gross floor area is to be used for retail sales. <br />The retail sales are accessory to the principle use. <br />No signs identifying the retail use would be visible from the outside of the <br />building. <br /> <br />Staff would add the following changes: <br /> <br />The total area of the retail sales would not exceed 5,000 square feet. <br />The retail sales needs to be related to the product or primary use of the <br />building and would be clearly subordinate to the principle use. <br /> <br />The proposed amendment would allow certain flexibility for staff when "hybrid" uses are <br />proposed for the Business Park, but continue to preserve the intent of the Business <br />Park District, that of increasing tax base and jobs. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Action <br /> <br />The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the ordinance <br />amendment at its May 23, 2000 meeting.
