• MINUTES REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 1993 7:30 p.m. PRES ENT: ALSO PRESENT: Kay Andrews Susan Hoyt, Administrator Tom Brace Paul Colton, Planning Intern Lee Barry Paul Ciernia, Council Liaison Len Boche Paul Kuettel Lisa Lampi Ken Salzberg Meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Lee Barry, Chair. Minutes of the August 23, 1993 minutes were approved as written. DISCUSSION ON USES STILL UNDER THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT MORATORIUM Administrator Hoyt asked the commission to discuss how the eight uses under the city commercial moratorium should be handled. These eight uses are adult uses, therapeutic massage, precious metal dealers, pawn shops, stores selling ammunition or firearms, check cashing facilities, secondhand stores, pool halls and video game arcades. The meeting was an open ended discussion about these uses and options for regulating them. Several options are available to the commission in terms of how these uses might be handled. These include: 1) regulations by licensing with associated fees 2) regulations through zoning and zoning conditions, 3) regulation by carrying out an impact study to determine if the business use has possible negative impacts that detract from the purpose of the commercial district, and, therefore, should not be permitted and 4) regulation by not permitting the use in the zoning district. Paul Colton, planning intern, was introduced to the commission. Hoyt explained that Paul has been working on this project by going through the license requirements and some conditional uses, and has put together information on how they're handled in other cities. Mr. Colton found that different cities have a wide range of licensing requirements and fees. Some cities regulate the hours of operation and require detailed records be kept by precious metal dealers, pawn shop dealers, and secondhand store owners. • After some discussion, the commissioners asked staff to do some further research on the impacts associated with these uses so the commission can better evaluate how to control them.
