Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2024 Page 2 1 nearest the frontage road for Highway 88. Code was created to allow for these types of uses 2 with a Conditional Use Permit. 3 4 Temporary structures such as this are specifically allowed as Conditional Uses, with a series 5 of conditions that relate to the site conditions and requirements for the facility, including 6 duration, signage, and other operational elements. 7 8 Mr. Grittman reviewed Zoning Ordinance Section 152.190(F). The proposed garden center is 9 proposed to be within a fenced enclosure shown as approximately 132 feet in length by 42 10 feet in width. A temporary greenhouse approximately 72 feet long by 22 feet wide 11 (approximately 1,580 sf) is located within the enclosed area, which is otherwise occupied by 12 display of garden plants and materials. The site has been utilized in this manner on a seasonal 13 basis in prior years and the proposed site plan for the current application utilizes the same 14 layout and location. While there could be some disruption of traffic pattern in this area, the 15 frontage road duplicates the circulation aisle and as such, should not negatively impact traffic. 16 The shopping center owner has collaborated with the applicant and there is no expectation that 17 the proposed site would create problems for either the site, or for public services that may be 18 needed. One aspect of the site and use relates to the nature of the garden center as an 19 independent tenant on the property. As there will be employees on site, the applicant should 20 identify restroom facilities for the temporary use. If portable restroom facilities are to be 21 utilized for the temporary use, the code requires in Section 152.190(E)(4) that “In all districts, 22 portable restroom facilities shall be placed in such a way as to maximize, insofar as 23 practicable, screening of view from the public right of way and/or residentially zoned 24 property, while acknowledging the need for service and maintenance access.” 25 26 Signage for the facility will consist of “wall” signage location over the entrance, and on the 27 side walls of the temporary structure. No freestanding signage is proposed. As part of the 28 ongoing operational aspects of the use, the applicant should verify compliance with the 29 duration (180 days), and any other requirements, including those of the fire department 30 officials. 31 32 Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1.33 Issues related to building, fire, and other related city codes shall be subject to comment 34 and recommendation by applicable staff. 35 2.36 The applicant receives, and provides to the City, operational information related to 37 utility services and any details related to use and location of portable restroom 38 facilities on the premises. 39 3.40 The CUP is provided for the requested site only. Changes in location, size, operation, 41 or other aspects of the facility will require a new CUP application. The CUP, per the 42 allowances of the Zoning Ordinance relating to Temporary Structures, remains valid 43 for the location and site as proposed, with need only for annual administrative review, 44 provided no expansion or other substantive changes are proposed. 45
