Hanson In September 2005, Joe's Sporting Goods was granted an Interim Use Permit that allowed their store two outdoor display areas for recreational equipment. At that time, the Council issued the permit for two years and set an expiration date of December 31, 2007. This permit was renewed in 2007 for another two years and then again in 2009 for a five year period. That last renewal. was through December 31, 2014. These renewals were approved based on Joe's Sporting Goods continued compliance with the permit conditions (it should also be noted that staff has not received any complaints). 1 have included with this memo the diagram Joe's Sporting Goods submitted with their previous and current application showing the display locations. Joe's Sporting Goods continues to have the need for outdoor displays of recreation equipment as such the request has been made to renew the permit that expired on December 31, 2014. There is a slight modification to the site plan from the previous submittals for the display areas. The store no longer sells trampolines which is what was previously on display in Location B. As a result, their merchandise on display is set up differently. This renewal is for three display areas that would still comply with the ordinance requirements. The building wall facing Hwy 36 labeled Location C is now smaller than the previous Location B facing Hwy 36. In addition, they've added a display area to the front of the store only visible to customers corning into the store. This area will be used to display taller tree stands (pictures included). Lastly, this 1UP renewal request is once again for a five year permit. That would make the permit valid until December 31, 2019 (that includes this year as part of the five years as if no lapse in time). City staff feels it is also necessary to point out that this permit does not include any approval for deviation from the temporary sign ordinance. Joe's Sporting Goods is still subject to conditions and applicable permits listed in City Code 903.110. Based on Joe's Sporting Goods continue compliance, city staff recommends approving the renewal of their Interim Use Permit for five years with an expiration date of December 31, 2019 subject to compliance with the IUP conditions listed in B-3 zoning district.
