Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2024 Page 4 1 front access road. Zoning Code was created to allow for these types of uses with a Conditional 2 Use Permit. Mr. Grittman stated the loss of parking spaces does not appear to be an issue. 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 152 feet in length by 36 10 feet in width. A temporary greenhouse approximately 60 feet long by 21 feet wide 11 (approximately 1,260 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. The site occupies 2 ranks of parking in the existing parking lot. As 15 situated, the existing drive aisles would remain unobstructed. The store owner has 16 collaborated with the applicant and there is no expectation that the proposed location or layout 17 would create problems for either the site, or for public services that may be needed. 18 19 The applicant should identify how the site will be served for restroom purposes and whether 20 the employees will have access to facilities in permanent businesses on the site. If a temporary 21 restroom facility will be located to comply with the intent of Section 152.190 (E) to ensure 22 that it is placed in the least visible location. 23 24 Signage for the facility will consist of “wall” signage location over the entrance, and on the 25 side walls of the temporary structure. No freestanding signage is proposed. As part of the 26 ongoing operational aspects of the use, the applicant should verify compliance with the 27 duration (180 days), and any other requirements, including those of the fire department 28 officials. 29 30 Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1.31 Issues related to building, fire, and other related city codes shall be subject to comment 32 and recommendation by applicable staff. 33 2.34 The applicant receives, and provides to the City, operational information related to utility 35 services and any details related to use and location of portable restroom facilities on the 36 premises. 37 3.38 The CUP is provided for the requested site only. Changes in location, size, operation, or 39 other aspects of the facility will require a new CUP application. The CUP, per the 40 allowances of the Zoning Ordinance relating to Temporary Structures, remains valid for 41 the location and site as proposed, with need only for annual administrative review, 42 provided no expansion or other substantive changes are proposed. 43 44 This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposal, with the conditions cited, is 45 consistent with the requirements for Conditional Use Permit consideration, with the long-term 46 objectives of the recommendations and policies of the St. Anthony Comprehensive Plan.
