Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes December 19, 1995 Page 6 1 VII. PROPOSED CONDITIONAL PERMITTED USES CHANGES. 2 a. Draft of Memo to Council of Recommendations 3 Chair Bergstrom reviewed a draft memo to the Council of recommendations on proposed conditional 4 permitted uses changes (attached). Discussion was held on the proposed changes. 5 Commissioner Makowske stated a library should be considered the same as a church or school in 6 an R-1 district. Commissioner Gondorchin noted libraries are normally open through evening hours, 7 unlike a church or school. 8 Discussion was held on drive-in and drive-through establishments. It was decided to discourage 9 drive-in establishments, such as an A&W restaurant. Commissioner Gondorchin suggested adding 10 language that states onsite dining must be available at a drive-in establishment. 11 Discussion was held on whether to include the language of"alcoholic" beverages in permitted uses 12 in a commercial district. Commissioner Makowske cited Slick's Bar as an example of this permitted 13 use. The decision was made to word the language as "beverages, including alcohol," as part of the 14 text. 15 Discussion was held on adding a general statement regarding companies that may pose an 16 environmental concern, such as bus stations. Commissioner Horst noted that if bus stations are 17 precluded, the City could be discouraging potential business. He cited American Monarch as an 18 example, and stated that the City cannot assume a company is going to be a problem. 19 Chair Bergstrom stated the City can require a conditional use permit, which is not the same as 20 precluding a company. 21 Commissioner Makowske stated the language should be reviewed, as he was uncomfortable with 22 stating as a specific use. 23 Commissioner Franzese cited as an example an application for a storage materials company on Foss 24 Road. Commissioner Delmonico noted that OSHA laws are designed to protect the environment as 25 well. 26 27 VIII.
