6. The facility must be served by an off - street parking supply equal in area to the size of the facility itself. 7. The seasonal facilities shall be located only on property that can accommodate the use without conflict with permanent facilities, including parking, circulation, and other activity. PUD Permit — Saxon Lanes (61 Little Canada Road W.) As noted previously, the proposed farmer's market is to located on the north end of the Saxon lanes parking lot, and be operated from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Mondays from June through September. The applicants have submitted a site plan that identifies the specific location, and which has more than adequate parking due to the more evening - oriented activities of the principal occupant of the property. With regard to the proposed ordinance amendment language, the applicants should identify any improvements or operational aspects of the farmers market, such as how vendors will display goods (tables, canopies, etc.), whether they anticipate a perimeter enclosure of any sort, and the style of sign identification, if any. The proposed ordinance limits goods sold at such facilities to food products of other vegetation (flowers, plant materials, etc.), and related accessory materials — common would be gardening tools, fertilizers, flower pots, etc. This code would specifically not allow automobiles, rugs, paintings, or similar such sales commonly seen in some areas. With the submission of some additional clarifying information, the applicants have selected a site that should suit its purpose and meet the intent of the ordinance under consideration. Summary and Recommendation Planning staff recommends approval of the amendment to the zoning ordinance and the PUD Permit for the farmer's market at the Saxon Lanes location, with the following conditions: 1. The applicants submit a narrative to the City identifying operational information, physical improvements, signage, and any other requirements as noted in the ordinance, as adopted. pc: Kathy Glanzer Steve Westerhaus Lee Elfering Jim Morelan, City of Little Canada, 515 E.
