Community Development Department will work with the City Clerk to recommend the <br />appropriate changes to the City Council. <br />Transient Merchants <br />Staff has added the term Transient Merchant from City Code Chapter 613, and will include it as <br />a use by administrative permit' in all zoning districts. This will cover anyone selling any <br />product temporarily in the city. (Garage sales and similar activities are exempted within the <br />transient merchant section of the city code.) <br />The administrative permit required to approve this use will be the Transient Merchant license <br />included in Chapter 613 of the City Code (attached). This section of the city code will need to be <br />modified slightly, to clarify two points. The first being that anyone selling farm products on the <br />site they are grown is exempted from these requirements, and the second being that anyone <br />selling strictly farm products off the site they are grown will instead need to obtain an <br />administrative permit from the Community Development Department. Staff will work with the <br />City Clerk to recommend the appropriate changes to the City Council. <br />That administrative zoning permit will essentially mimic the prohibited activities of the Transient <br />Merchant license, as listed in section 613.08 of the city code (attached). <br />Motor Vehicle Sales <br />The discussion of amending the current `Open Sales Lot' use listed in the ordinance was an off- <br />shoot of the topic of this public hearing. However, since it wasn't specifically mentioned in the <br />public hearing notice as a topic for this amendment, staff will delay clarification of this section <br />of the ordinance until a new public notice can be made. This item will be properly noticed and <br />added to the agenda for the December 8, 2010 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends closing the public hearing and recommending approval of the attached draft <br />ordinance language. <br />Attachments <br />1.
