ZR2012-001 Consideration of a B-1 Neighborhood Business, Zoning Review of an Accessory Use Address: Sam's Market, 2408 County Road I Applicant: Ahmad Muqbil Planning Associate Heller indicated that when the B-1 zoning code was last amended in 2010, a provision was added to allow City Staff or the City Council to review proposed uses that are not already listed in the Zoning Code for compatibility, rather than amending the zoning code to add more permitted uses. She explained Sam's Market, on the corner of County Road I and Edgewood, was seeking permission to add a cooking area with a grill and fryer to be able to sell hot food for take-out. Staff recommended this area be limited to 64 square feet within the store. City staff felt this additional cooking use should be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. She requested the Commission review the proposed accessory use of a cooking area and selling take-out food in a neighborhood grocery store. Chair Stevenson did not object to the proposed use. He proposed a condition restricting the cooking area to only take-out food to assure that tables and chairs were not added to the grocery store; or if tables and chairs were allowed, that the number be limited. Commissioner Smith agreed. Commissioner Meehlhause supported the expanded use and wanted to see the grocery store successful. He suggested the number of chairs within the market be limited to eight. This would allow for patrons to have a place to sit while waiting for their order. Commissioner Rundle was in favor of allowing two tables and six to eight chairs. Commissioner Meehlhause was not concerned that the area would turn into a restaurant. Associate Heller agreed, but was in favor of the suggested condition. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Meehlhause/Commissioner Schiltgen. To approve Resolution 968-12, a Resolution Recommending Approval of the Proposed Accessory Use at Sam's Market at 2408 County Road I, zoned B-1, Neighborhood Business limiting the number the number of tables to two and the number of chairs to eight; Planning Case No. ZR2012-001.
