MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 27, 2007 Allan noted that the PUD ordinance lists several potentially allowed uses, and asked about outdoor displays for these various retail establishments. Blesener suggested that the site plan would show the size and location of the outdoor display area, and this is the area that would be limited to that type of use. The Planner again indicated the need for a site plan indicating size and location. He noted that the City would want to ensure that there is no disruption to traffic on site and minimum loss of parking area. The City Administrator indicated that the truck load sales and seasonal outdoor displays would be subject to the City's Temporary Outdoor Sales and Displays Permits. Businesses are limited to two permits per year with each permit to be for up to a two-week consecutive period. The City Administrator indicated that these specific regulations can be written into the PUD Agreement for this property. Blesener asked about the 40% anchor tenant requirement recommended by the Planning Commission. The City Planner indicated that the intent was to ensure that there was one large tenant and that the property would not end up being amulti-tenant mall. Allan agreed that this would be a concern without the anchor tenant requirement. The City Administrator noted that the 40% requirement is not specific to Hom Fw•niture. The requirement is for an anchor tenant to occupy a minimum of 40% of the space. He indicated that once adopted, the PUD Agreement would have to be amended to change this requirement. Johansen stated that his concern was that the requirement was specific to Hom Furniture. The City Planner indicated that it was not, and relates to any anchor tenant that would meet the PUD requirements. Johansen stated that this should not be a concern for the bank, but suggested that the lower the percentage the better. Johansen suggested 35% rather than 40%. He indicated that Hom Furniture's intention right now is to occupy over 50% of the building space. Council was agreeable to reducing the percentage to 35% as requested by Johansen. Johansen requested that the Council increase the size of the temporary signage that they would be allowed to 108 square feet given the distance that the building is from the freeway. Johansen indicated that the 32 foot maximum under the City's Code would not be visible. Johansen also pointed out the need for leasing signage. The City Planner indicated that leasing signage is regulated under a separate section of the Code, not the temporary sign code. 4
