Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes February 15, 2022 Page 8 1 Chair Socha stated there is not a consensus on how to fine tune the portion referring to selling 2 cars. Mr. Grittman would like to think about that more. 3 4 Chair Socha requested a discussion about car washes. The wording about screening and noise 5 seems strict. Mr. Grittman stated it is related to the recent experience and one of the 6 difficulties with the application that came forward was carwashes were listed as conditional 7 use permit but there were no specific standards assigned to that CUP. It would be useful to 8 have some specific standards should future requests come in for a carwash particularly in 9 regard to the noise and the lights. Commissioner Rude suggested a distance be added 10 regarding noise and lights for carwashes. Mr. Grittman noted the conditions could be met and 11 pertain to adjoining residential property. Commissioner Rude suggested adding the same 12 wording to #3. Commissioner Morita suggested keeping #3 as is and the rest of the 13 Commission agreed. Commissioner Rude suggested #2 and #4 be changed removing 14 “adjoining residential property”. Chair Socha stated offices generally operate during the day 15 which would not be the case for carwashes. Commissioner Rude stated there needs to be 16 restrictions on what is being controlled and could be solved with a noise or lighting ordinance 17 for all businesses. Mr. Grittman stated there are noise standards set by the Pollution Control 18 Agency. They are not always easy to measure. 19 20 Commissioner Rude suggested charging stations be added to (G) Motor fuel station. Mr. 21 Grittman stated as time goes on charging stations will convert to be close to fuel stations. 22 Commissioner Hendrickson stated a charging station will be more integrated into other 23 businesses as accessories. Mr. Grittman stated currently there is no regulation to EV Charging 24 Stations. Commissioner Hendrickson asked if Cub Foods wanted to put in EV Charging 25 Stations would a conditional use permit be needed. Mr. Grittman stated probably not for one 26 or two and the impact of more units would need to be managed. Commissioner Morita stated 27 there does not to be additional language added to (G). Commissioner Hendrickson suggested 28 Staff look at other city’s ordinances to see how they handle EV charging stations. Mr. 29 Grittman stated he will research further. 30 31 Commissioner Hendrickson asked if the last discussion on micro-breweries is indicated in the 32 redline and Mr. Grittman stated he did not add the results of those discussions but will do so. 33 34 VI.COMMUNITY FORUM. 35 36 No one appeared to address the Planning Commission. 37 38 VII.INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. 39 40 Commissioner Morita stated he attended the last City Council Meeting and presented the 41 request for new sign at the High School.
