Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1991 Page 8 . Gary Schmitz, Recycling Coordinator, addressed this item. He stated that the applicant is before the Planning Commission to request that his sign for an office/retail building, which is in a PUD, meet the new standards for the C-3 zoning district. At the time of site plan review, a 64 sq. ft. freestanding sign was the maximum allowed. Under the current C-3 zoning Mr. Santwire would be allowed a total of 110 sq. ft. for a freestanding sign. Staff is recommending approval only if other new areas of the code (such as landscaping) are also enforced. Chairperson Johnson asked what the original intent of the PUD in that area was. Mr. Schmitz stated that the rational for that area becoming a PUD was to accommodate a mixed use in the area. Chairperson Johnson questioned what would that area look like if that area has been developed according to the C-3 standards. Mr. Rohlf stated that a couple buildings have no frontage on a public road which is a requirement in a C-3 zone. Gary Schmitz suggested they allow the proposed freestanding sign under the current C-3 zoning if other revised areas of the code are also enforced such as landscaping. Mr. Santwire stated that his request is for signage not a site plan review. . After some discussion on this issue, the Planning Commission suggested treating this request the same as a C-3 zoning request because the area is consistent with other C-3 zoning districts in the area. COMMISSIONER SCHROEDER MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO ALLOW THE SIGNAGE TO MEET THE CURRENT C-3 ZONING REGULATIONS. COMMISSIONER SPOTTS SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 12. Cons~der Amendment to Conditional Use Permit (Billiards Hall) by ~llaire Wilson (Player's Club)P.H. Janelle Szklarski, Zoning Assistant, indicated that Allaire Wilson (Player's Club) is requesting that their conditional use permit be amended so that the hours of operation can be extended beyond 1:00 a.m. The reason for their request is that other communi ties in the area allow billiard halls to remain open beyond 1 :00 a.m., therefore, they feel they are losing some of their customers to neighboring cities. Chairperson Johnson opened the public hearing. . Mr. Wilson submitted a list of billiard halls from the yellow pages of surrounding cities. These were entered into the public record. Mr. Wilson stated that all he was asking for was an extension of the hours of operation on certain nights as most nights they were closed by 11:00 p.m. He stated this was essential for his business. Ms. Szklarski, stated that staff's main concern with this request is that it may attract a clientele which is leaving the bars after closing. Staff is recommending denial of the request to extend the
