Planning Associate Ericson advised that Sysco's proposal would be before the Planning Commission for a public hearing the following Wednesday, and a number of the issues Council Member Marty had brought forward would be addressed. He explained that all of those issues should be resolved in one form or another in the Planning Commission's recommendation to the Council, and all parties feel very strongly that the issues will be resolved in the sense that no one should be harmed by these applications. He indicated the City is not a proponent of billboards, as the Council has stated in the past, however, the Code is in place, and they must accept the applications and review them in terms of whether or not they are consistent with the City Code and the Comprehensive Plan.

Acting Mayor Stigney closed the Public Hearing at 8:25 p.m. City Attorney Long advised that when the public hearing for this matter was originally scheduled, staff had thought that Item E of the Consent Agenda would be on the same time frame. He explained that this item pertains to the aspect of amending the Code by adopting State Law that puts into place the authority to issue Interim Use Permits. He indicated that procedurally, this item should be in place before the City can actually grant an Interim Use Permit, and therefore, he would recommend that the Council lay over the resolution until their next meeting. He explained that the application before the Council would still be in line ahead the Sysco proposal, and the Council would be have the opportunity to consider it in advance of that, however, they do not wish to grant an Interim Use Permit before this statutory provision is met.
