MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 29, 2021 2 PUBLIC HEARINGS None. COMMISSION BUSINESS: MINOR SUBDIVISION – 3000 LABORE ROAD The Community Development Director presented a request for a minor subdivision for 3000 Labore Road. She stated that the property is within the R-1 single family residential district and the applicant has submitted all the filing requirements for the lot split. She stated that this request would split this piece of the property from the larger property. She stated that this would only focus on the 9.67 acres and not the larger property, noting that will come back under the major subdivision request. She stated that the City Council will hold a public hearing on this item at its May 12th meeting. She stated that the applicant will come back in the future for the platting of individual lots and this action would simply divide this parcel from the larger parcel. The City Clerk stated that someone came in today and was concerned that the remaining parcel would be landlocked. She explained that the remaining parcel is not landlocked because there is platted right-of-way that goes down to Beam Avenue. The Community Development Director commented that there may be some development further south in the future but at this time they are focused on the Labore entry point. Buesing introduced the following motion: RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION REQUEST FOR 3000 LABORE ROAD The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Quaries. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Motion passed. COMMISSION BUSINESS: TEXT AMENDMENTS The Community Development Director stated that staff has been working with applicants that fall under uses that fall under conditional or special for licensing. She stated that as currently setup the applicant has to submit a conditional or special permit for these permitted uses, which creates an additional hurdle as the applicant is still required to obtain the proper licensing. She stated that this amendment would allow these uses as permitted and remove that additional step, which would alleviate the staff time necessary for review as well. She noted that the applicant would still apply for the licensing and go before the Council in that manner. The City Clerk stated that there have been a lot of massage therapists come through in the past few years through conditional use permit and there are not additional conditions added. She stated that she completes background and licensing checks through the licensing review, which is approved by the Council and the conditional use permit just adds another unnecessary step. She
