Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 February 14, 2006 --------------------------- Commissioner Ropp asked if three years was typical for an Interim Use Permit. Mr. Leeseberg stated that three years has been typical, but that it is not specified in the ordinance. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. There being no public comment, Chair Anderson closed the public hearing. Commissioner Offerman stated that he did not support the previous request for a Conditional Use Permit, but that he would support this request for an Interim Use Permit. Chair Anderson asked if the Planning Commission previously recommended denial of the Conditional Use Permit request. Mr. Leeseberg stated yes, and that the City Council agreed with their concerns, but after some discussion, the City Council came up with the suggestion for an Interim Use Permit. Commissioner Stevens stated that he was concerned that a Conditional Use Permit was approved for the Martin Plaza site for this type of use, and now that use will stay with the property. He felt the Interim Use Permit was a step in the right direction, but that he did not feel the location being requested in this application was appropriate. Chair Anderson questioned if the building was large enough to accommodate an indoor showroom. Mr. Matthews, applicant, stated that he would like pursue that option, but that he was waiting for a determination from the Building Department regarding any code issues. Commissioner Scott asked what would prevent others from parking vehicles in this location and advertising them for sale. Mr. Leeseberg stated that Mr. Matthews would be limited to six parking spaces, and that he was not aware of this being an issue. Senior Planner Scott Harlicker stated that if parking of vehicles for sale became a problem, staff would be looking at it. Commissioner Scott stated that he supported the request. Chair Anderson stated that if any other cars were parked in the parking lot and advertised for sale, this will be an issue for the property owner to address. He did not feel the use was appropriate for this shopping center site and was not in favor of the request. Commissioner Ropp stated that he also had some concerns about this site, but that he would support an Interim Use Permit if the time period was less than three years.
