Indoor uses allowed in the I3-W, Business Warehouse District. C. Outdoor sales, outdoor storage, or other outdoor operations are not permitted. Some of these uses are retail in nature, including antiques, art, books, furniture, hobby, hardware, paint and wallpaper, golf, and others. The items were restricted in this area due to concerns over potential traffic, and that the buildings in this district were originally anticipated to accommodate more of an office - showroom or office - warehouse style of land use. In these situations, the amount of truck traffic anticipated in the area could be seen to conflict with the retail traffic, as well as a concern that parking requirements for retail uses could be difficult to meet on such sites. In this particular case, the parking provisions were calculated based on an office or retail configuration, and as such, the site should be able to accommodate a retail user. The primary point of traffic conflict would be at the location where the central driveway access provides a curb cut to the subject site's parking area. This conflict should not raise issues for the public street, and the conflicts should be minimal as the only major truck user would be for Drywall Supply. Finally, a second -hand goods store such as a thrift store should not be too different in operation or nature from an antique store, already allowed under the PUD district regulations. With the addition of the city's licensing requirements for second -hand goods dealers, the City should have adequate regulatory opportunity to avoid any negatives related to the use itself. All operations must occur indoors on this site, so the building and site should not change from the current condition. The site was issued a Comprehensive sign plan previously, and it is understood that the proposed thrift store tenant would remain subject to the requirements of that permit.
