MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 9, 200) sale during those events. The City Planner noted that his report recommends that the outdoor display be limited Co six seasonal events/sales in a calendar year. The Planner reported that Hom would like a number of events to be limited to a total of 120 days, and have requested removal of the six event limitation. The Planner further noted that the site plan shows outdoor sales and display space in two locations. Only one display area would be used at a time. "the Planner felt that the two altering locations would wor]<. He noted that with the 120 days of outdoor sales and displays and the 30 days of tent sales, Hom is requesting a total of 150 days. The Planner then reviewed parking, noting his recommendation that proof of parking be shown on the site plan. The Planner indicated that the site has 414 parking spaces and that number is more than adequate for the furniture sales use of the building. The Planner pointed out that eventually Hom would like to lease space to up to four tenants in the north portion of the building. The adequacy of parking will be dependent on the type of use that is added to the building. The Planner indicated that parking could be addressed at the time tenants are identified for the building. He also noted that if the site ca~1 contain parking and there is no overflow onto Country Drive, the par]<ing as exists would be acceptable. "the Planner recommended that future parking needs be evaluated as tenants are identified. The Planner then reviewed the exterior elevation changes proposed for the building under the Dock 86 concept. He noted that a lot of work has already been done to the building, and pointed out that the new concept includes the addition of non-functional dock doors to the north and east facades of the building. Signage was reviewed next, and the Planner reported that Hom would like to add a second pylon to the property. 'T'hat pylon would be located at the northwest corner of the site. The Planner indicated that a second pylon would be allowed, and recommended that this pylon meet Code requirements relative to height, size, and setback The Planner noted that the current pylon is over 50 feet in height. Hom is planning to reconfigure that pylon with a new sign cabinet while maintaining the current height, size, and location. "the Planner pointed out that the City has allowed other non-conforming pylon signs to remain as is, and noted that this is consistent with the previous approval granted to Hom in 2007. Duray asked about the allowance for two pylons. The Planner noted that given the area acid the fact that this will be amulti-tenant building, two pylons are allowed. Again, the recommendation is that the second pylon meet all Code requirements. 2
