Planning Commission Page 5 <br /> February 26,2019 <br /> • Commissioner Rydberg said the ordinance read like a Home Owners Association <br /> Y g <br /> (HOA) agreement. <br /> Commissioner Thiel had concerns with having lots of cars driving and parking in the <br /> neighborhood and asked at what point should they rent an office space. He said the <br /> windows and doors being open or closed could be subjective depending on the type <br /> of business. <br /> Chair Johnson stated there are always exceptions through the CUP process and some <br /> residential properties are more suited for business. <br /> Councilmember Ovall commented on the number of allowable customers per day. <br /> He asked if a piano teacher who has a dozen students between the hours of 5-8 p.m. <br /> would have to get a CUP. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg stated the proposed change was for high traffic concerns. <br /> Chair Johnson agreed the majority of complaints have been in regard to traffic and <br /> blocking driveways. <br /> Councilmember Ovall asked if the number of customers should be five at one time <br /> • or five throughout the day. He asked about a person who holds class for a dozen <br /> Pilates students a few times per day. He felt the city should be looking for more <br /> effective administrative action and he feels this would be regulating minute details. <br /> Chair Johnson asked Mr. Leeseberg how many home businesses are"rubber <br /> stamped through"per year. <br /> Mr.Leeseberg responded approximately 4-5 per year. He added the goal was to <br /> loosen up some of the restrictions and address traffic concerns and this amendment <br /> would apply to all residential districts. <br /> Commissioner Jordan didn't understand the increase in traffic argument and felt two <br /> additional cars per hour did not seem to him like a traffic issue, citing the example of <br /> childcares that often have more than five customers. <br /> Mr.Leeseberg responded that childcares are regulated by the state. <br /> Commissioner Jordan continued that the proposed ordinance changes make it seem <br /> much more restrictive and he will not support the closure of doors and windows. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg addressed the proposed ordinance change in regards to the <br /> number of motor vehicles allowed on site and whether that meant they should not <br /> be seen. <br /> • Mr. Leeseberg said the preference was the vehicles are inside but the way it is written <br /> they could be screened by a fence. <br /> � ® vtai , si <br /> �NATUR1 <br />
