Motion adopted on a unanimous voice vote. 103 104 ii. First Reading of Ordinance Number 01 -11, Amending City Code Chapter 615 105 definition of the term Special Event to include Open Air Markets — City Planner Bengtson 106 explained that the ordinance amends the city code to match the changes referred to above in the 107 zoning ordinance. 108 109 Council Member Gallup moved to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 0 1-1 1 as presented. 110 Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 111 112 6B) First Reading of Ordinance Number 03 -11, Amending the zoning ordinance requirements 113 regarding Motor Vehicle Sales Lots — City Planner Bengtson reported that staff is recommending this 114 change to the city's zoning ordinance that would clarify the definition of a outdoor sales lot. The term 115 would be replaced by "motor vehicle sales lot" since that more clearly identifies its intent in the code 116 and clarifies that it is not a temporary use. Parking requirements are also being clarified. The Planning 117 and Zoning Board has recommended approval of this change. When a council member asked how 118 many motor vehicle sales lots there are in the city, Mr. Bengtson said approximately 5 to 10 and added 119 that the change would apply to new operations only. 120 121 City Attorney Langel recommended that the language "sale or lease of new automobiles" in Section 2 of 122 the ordinance be clarified so that it applies to used vehicles as well. Staff concurred with the change. 123 124 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 03 -11 as presented. 125 Council Member Gallup seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 126 6C) First Reading of Ordinance Number 04 -11, Amending the zoning ordinance 127 requirements regarding Home Occupations — City Planner Bengtson explained that the proposed 128 ordinance would amend the city's home occupation regulations. The city council recently discussed 129 those regulations and requested that staff review them as they apply to sale of goods not made on site. 130 Mr. Bengtson reviewed the chart in his report that indicates how retail sales will be allowed and under 131 what level of regulation. The Planning and Zoning Board has unanimously recommended approval of 132 the ordinance. 3 —37—
