To accommodate the request, the City would need to undertake two separate actions. The first would be to amend the zoning ordinance by creating this uses an allowed activity in one of the City's commercial zoning districts, and establishing the requirements under which it would operate. The discussion below proposes to accomplish this by creating an allowance for this use as a principal use by Conditional Use Permit in the City's B -3, General Business District. Under the organization of the ordinance, this would also make it a potentially allowed use in the PUD, Planned Unit Development District. The second action would be to consider a PUD Permit for the proposed use as proposed by the Parks and Recreation Department on the Saxon Lanes property, a PUD zoned parcel. Ordinance Amendment. The following proposed amendment establishes seasonal garden centers and farmer's markets as a principal use on property in the B -3 zoning district, and proposes a series of conditions to limit the potential impact and location of such uses to ensure that they can co -exist with other commercial land uses in the area. This amendment would not affect PUD or Interim Use Permits for outdoor display as accessory uses, such as the display of materials by the hardware store or similar activities. Section 912.040 (requires a Conditional Use Permit in the B -3 District) K. Seasonal Garden Centers and Farmer's Markets, provided that: 1.
