MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 10, 1992 District, it would have a hard time saying no to all these requests if requirements are met. Drabik pointed out that the City already has three licenses, and suggested that the maximum be set at three since the City does not have the ability to enforce any more than that. The City Planner felt that would be a legitimate approach. New licenses could be issued as existing ones become inactive and lapse. Herkenhoff suggested limiting the number of cars for sale. The Planner felt that would be difficult since a property owner could claim that one car is for sale and another is not. The Planner again pointed out the limitation on number of cars in the B -3 District based on amount of square footage. The Planner noted that a CUP runs with the land. Drabik felt that it would be necessary to judge each application on existing conditions. Garske stated that it was his opinion that retail auto sales in the Industrial District should be either very much limited or eliminated. The City Planner suggested that he prepare some draft ordinance options addressing the issue. The Commission can review these and then propose an ordinance to the City Council. It was suggested that the Planner put together some examples of how other cities address the issue as well. Drabik stated that she would like to see retail auto sales licenses in Industrial limited to three. Keis agreed, but felt it unfair to blind -side the Industrial District property owners with this limitation. Herkenhoff instructed the City Planner to put together some ordinance proposals addressing the issue of auto sales for review by the Planning Commission at its next meeting, as well as a report on how other cities address the issue of retail auto sales in the Industrial District. Motion seconded by Garske. Motion carried 6 - 0. Page 16
