• • • MEMORANDUM W S ITEM #9 April 26, 2006 To: City Council From: Jeff Smyser c Subject: Millers Crossroads Shopping Center Conditional Use Permit At the April 24 meeting, the City Council tabled consideration of Resolution 06 -53, the CUP for outdoor seating and a drive through. The Council decided to discuss it further at the work session on May 1. Please bring your staff report from the April 24 meeting, as the report includes the relevant information. In summary, a CUP was granted in 2003 for a daycare business. The new CUP application is for a drive through and outdoor seating. A CUP requires Council approval, which is the only reason the City Council is reviewing the project. The businesses in the building are permitted uses and the building would be an administrative review. Both a daycare and a coffee shop offer services that will be used by early morning and evening commuters. Parents will drop off children before work and pick them up after work. Commuters will use a coffee shop on the way to work and after work. Of course, both types of business will be open all day. The April 24 staff report includes analyses of traffic generation and parking. The Council discussion included the question of additional screening. We learned that the townhome property is owned by the residents' homeowners association: it is no longer under the developer's ownership or control. Staff has not had the opportunity to confer with the developer regarding screening as of the date of this memo. A CUP for the outdoor seating and drive through would be granted to the property. Future businesses could use the drive through if the coffee shop leaves. A fast food restaurant would require additional parking under the zoning requirements, which would be a restriction because of the finite area of the site.
