City Planner Johnson replied that the religious assembly use would go with the property and would transfer to a new property owner. City Attorney Lindgren explained that a PUD is a rezoning and a new category for this land is being established. Motion by Commissioner Papatola, seconded by Commissioner Bartel, to recommend that the City Council approve Ordinance Creating the 2015-01 PUD — Planned Unit Development Overlay Zoning District Associated with the Property located at 3055 Old Highway 8 (PID 0602923410140 and PID 0602923410139). Motion carried unanimously. STAFF REPORTS. A. REQUEST — Request from Joel Janssen for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to Allow a Restaurant to be located Less than 250 Feet from a Residentially Zoned District and Variance from the Minimum Required Parking Stalls on the Property Located at 2510 Kenzie Terrace (Tabled from the December 9, 2014, City Council Meeting). City Planner Johnson presented background information regarding the request for a CUP and variance for 2510 Kenzie Terrace and stated that the City Council requested the Planning Commission review potential conditions to restrict hours of operation for the restaurant as well as screening along the south portion of the property. She reviewed the proposed hours of operation submitted by the applicant and stated that the Planning Commission could consider limiting the hours of operation for the dine -in portion to 10:00 p.m. every night and require that all delivery vehicles park on the north side of the building to minimize headlight glare to the residential area to the south. She advised there are two access points onto Lowry Avenue to the south of the building and an opaque fence between those access points along the southern portion of the property. She stated there is a parking lot to the east with six parking spaces facing toward the south, however, one or two of those spaces do not align with the opaque fence or mature trees. She presented a map depicting the access points and several pictures of the surrounding area and stated that the Planning Commission could add a condition requiring additional screening between the easternmost access and where the fence stops in order to mitigate headlight glare. She noted that the City would need to maintain sight lines and review the screening to ensure public safety for pedestrians and vehicles coming to and from the property. She stated that the Planning Commission could require additional natural landscaping for screening consisting of coniferous shrubs or trees in a quantity and height sufficient to visually screen as much of the parking lot as possible, adding that all screening must comply with the City's vision triangle standards to ensure adequate sightlines.
