Mr. Standing said that property owners within 350 feet of the Center had been notified. None objected. Administrator Hoyt mentioned Mr. Jim Warner, owner of Falcon Center inquired on visibility of the dish and was told it would not be visible from Snelling Avenue. Public Hearing closed at 8:25. Discussion by the commissioners followed. Hoyt explained that a conditional use permit goes with the property, not the business and may be revoked if conditions are not met. Salzberg said that if all requirements were met for a CUP, it would be difficult to deny issuing one. All members unanimously agreed that if they recommended granting a CUP and that if an installation of a satellite dish should be requested by another business in the Center, it would require another C.U.P. and be independently evaluated. Salzberg moved that the conditional use permit be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. The antenna mounting hardware must be designed and installed to withstand wind speeds at least as high as the design standards for the antenna itself; 2. The antenna and all mounting hardware must be maintained in a safe and operable condition, and; 3. That no portion of the antenna may directly overhang the alley. Motion seconded by Lampi and unanimously approved. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROPOSED REVISION IN THE COMMERCIAL ZONES Brian Standing, Planning Intern, explained that the city's comprehensive plan adopted in 1991 called for some revisions in the city's commercial zones to eliminate some unusual zones, B -1A and E -B, and to establish a neighborhood commercial zone. Fred Hoisington, Consulting Planner, presented proposed changes which would include creating B -3, neighborhood business district, eliminating B -1A, which is a limited business district, and repealing EB, existing business district. Mr. Hoisington reviewed a draft of the proposed changes in the commercial zoning code. He was asked if any of these proposed changes would create a burden on existing businesses and he replied the intent is not to do that. Discussion followed.

Personal service establishments should be changed to include massage parlors and saunas for health purposes but should exclude adult use facilities. k.
