1. Park two (and potential a third) display trailers outside in the rear of the building (the applicant indicates that these trailers are often moved off-site to other display locations, but would be on -site during the winter). 2. Permit a tenant in his building that offers "health and wellness" services including yoga, pilates, massage, nutrition, and "specialty facials ". A companions application is requested that would increase the therapeutic massage licensing allowance to accommodate this additional massage license in the City (from two to three total licenses). 3.

Additionally, where outdoor storage is allowed in the City, one of the basic requirements is that it not take up required parking area. Item 2 — PUD Permit for "Health and Wellness" business. The business requested for the site would be similar in clientele to a salon or other service business. In the City's classification of commercial uses, this would be most typical of a commercial /retail area, whereas the site in question was originally intended to be office and office - warehouse. The primary difference between these uses is the nature of the traffic to the site.
