The seasonal garden center operation would be similar to <br />what has been conducted at this location in previous years. <br />Discussion <br />In 1996, a CUP was approved for a temporary garden center on this property for <br />Linder's Greenhouses (Res. No. 4894), and again in 1999 (Res. No. 5314). The 1999 <br />CUP was to have no expiration date as long as the applicant complied with permit <br />conditions, and submitted an annual plan to the City for administrative review. This <br />permit was in compliance annually until the use was discontinued after the 2014 <br />season. Because the CUP was discontinued for a period of one or more years, the <br />1999 CUP becomes null and void (Zoning Code 1125.01, Subd 3(f). Any new use must <br />comply with current zoning requirements. <br />The garden center is proposed to be located in the center parking lot as it has in <br />previous years. Utilities (water & electricity) will be provided by the shopping center. <br />Retail sales will include annuals, perennials, and hanging baskets. The operation will <br />be set up on or after April 1St, and will be dismantled by mid-August. Operating hours <br />will be 7:00 AM — 8:00 PM, seven days per week and will employ between two and four <br />persons. The garden center will be located within a 36'X 154' area, and enclosed by a <br />4' fence. The temporary greenhouse is 21'X 84' (see the Applicant's Narrative). <br />Analysis <br />Zoning Code 1115.04, Subd 2. Outdoor sales as an accessory use <br />"Open or outdoor service, sale and rental as an accessory use ... ... for a period greater <br />than ten (10) days" is permitted as a Conditional Use within the B-4 district with the <br />following requirements: <br />
