MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 23, 1991 The City Planner gave some examples, and pointed out that outdoor storage is restricted from the I-P District. LaValle asked why truck repair was an accessory use in the District, but auto repair was not. The City Planner explained that truck repair is accessory to an industrial use in the I-P District. That is, an industrial business would be allowed to repair the trucks used in that business. Auto repair is clearly not a permitted or accessory use in the I-P District. The Planner noted that Spectrum Auto was discovered because they put up a sign on Centerville Road. Commercial businesses are dependent on such exposure. The truck repair business that existed previously was almost invisible, however, truck repair that is not accessory to a commercial business, is also not a permitted use in the I-P District. Spectrum Auto reported that they put a sign up so customers could find them. However, they do not advertise and are not using the sign to attract business. Spectrum stated that the sign could be eliminated. The City Planner stated that the sign is not the issue, but rather a distinction between commercial and industrial businesses. Hanson stated that it is apparent that there is not enough support for the text amendment, and suggested that the Council deal with the issue of the relocation period. Blesener stated that he would support a relocation period through the end of the lease. There was no one from the general public present wishing to address this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Collova, the public hearing was closed. Scalze asked how long the sign could remain, pointing out that it is a temporary sign. Spectrum replied that the sign is permanent and meets Code requirements. Hanson stated that the operation was a clean one, and one he would like to see be allowed to remain. Page 5
