There being no public comment, Chair Scott closed <br />the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Ives asked for clarification on time lines for a conditional use permit <br />application versus a permitted use. Mr. Barnhart explained that permitted uses go through <br />the same staff review process as conditional uses, and issues are caught at this level. He <br />stated that the conditional use permit process takes from 6 weeks to 2 'h months, depending <br />upon when during the month an application is initially received. He stated that the staff <br />review process is much smoother and faster. <br />Chair Scott asked if complaints have been received about the process. Mr. Barnhart stated <br />that there are no specific current complaints but that general complaints that the process <br />takes too long have been received. Chair Scott asked if Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />projects would be affected by the ordinance amendment. Mr. Barnhart stated that only C-3 <br />and C-4 zoning districts would be affected, and there would be no change in the <br />requirements for PUD's. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he felt the changes make sense. <br />MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LEMKE AND SECONDED BY <br />COMMISSIONER ANDERSON TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE <br />ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RELATING TO RESTAURANTS, CASE NO.
