REVIEW OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
Item 6A, Public Hearing, Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 09-06, Amending the
Zoning Ordinance to Modify the Allowable Uses Within the NB, Neighborhood
Business, and the LB, Limited Business and GB, General Business Zoning Districts — The
recommended zoning amendment regarding extended care facilities was removed from
Ordinance No. 09-06.
No other changes were made to the regular Council agenda.
POMP'S TIRE LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING UPDATE
Associate Planner Bengtson stated on January 23, 2006 the City Council approved the
Pomp's Tires facility at 7385 Apollo Court. As part of this approval, the developer was
required to meet all screening requirements of the zoning ordinance. The building is
significantly complete and after an inspection of the partially installed landscaping by
City staff this past week, it became apparent that the previously approved landscape plan
was going to fall short of meeting the screening requirement of 6 feet of screening
materials with an opacity of 80% at time of installation.
City staff met with representatives from Pomp's Tires to discuss this situation and as a
result the developer submitted a revised screening plan for the property. This revised
screening plan includes a cedar screening fence along the non-bermed portion of the
western property line. This is augmented with landscaping materials on the outside and
inside of the fence. On the berm the developer has added a hedgerow of 125 arborvitaes
measuring 3.5 feet in height. This revised plan clearly meets the letter and intent of the
screening requirements of the zoning ordinance.

4 has agreed to complete all improvements within sixty days, and staff will withhold
5 development securities put forth for the performance agreement in the amount of the
6 improvements until such time that they are completed.
