7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Uses at Valley Business Park Commissioner Narum stated that she recalled a discussion about 18 months ago regarding modifying the PUD for Valley Business Park (VBP) to include a number of uses that are permitted but require a conditional use permit, including child care, trade schools, etc. She indicated that in reading the two applications, it is clear that VBP is a business park for construction and industrial uses. She inquired if it would make sense to modify the VBP PUD to allow only construction or trade-related uses, considering how the economy has evolved. She stated that she was not interested in modifying it for anything having to do with youth or churches or similar uses the Commission has seen in the past. Ms. Decker stated that staff has been working with VBP about once every six months when an application comes forward that staff feels would be appropriate to take a look at. She added that contractors have expressed concern about not being able to review what uses and what contractors would go where considering the different suites occupied by various businesses and different trades. She noted that staff has been informed by the VBP association that at this time, it is not interested in entertaining a Code amendment for its PUD. She indicated that she believes it would be a minor modification; however, staff will continue to look for the opportunity to do so when the time is right. Hacienda Task Force Commissioner Pearce stated that at the January 19, 2010 City Council meeting, the Council confirmed that members of the Hacienda Task Force. She noted that the Council also indicated its approval for proxies for Council Task Force members who may not be present at Task Force meetings. She proposed doing the same thing for the Planning Commission in the event that she or Commissioner Narum is not able to attend the meeting. Commissioner Narum concurred. She inquired whether the item would need to be agendized and noted that there is time to add it to the next agenda as the first meeting of the Task Force will not be until March. Ms. Harryman agreed that the item should be agendized. She inquired if the proxies allowed for Councilmembers applied to the five “at-large” Task Force members. Commissioner Pearce replied that the proxies applied only to the Councilmembers. The Commission agreed to schedule the item scheduled on the next agenda.
