Commissioner Olson stated that he is fine with it. Acting Chair Blank stated that he is generally fine with it. He indicated that when he first saw it, he had the same impression as that of Commissioner Narum, but he told himself this is a workshop and they do not have the details. G. Does the Planning Commission have any comments on the uses proposed in Exhibit A? Commissioner Olson stated that he reviewed the list twice in addition to the items at the end that are also requested. He indicated that it is a good list and that he does not have any problems with it. Commissioner Pearce stated that she reviewed the list and it is fine. She expressed some concern about health clubs and requested more information about them. She noted that she does not know what the parking requirements are for health clubs but feels like it is a more intense use for a permitted use as opposed to a conditionally permitted use. Commissioner Narum agreed that is a fair question. She noted that the Commission had considered a couple of health clubs in the community where there were parking issues and they were conditionally approved. She indicated that she would rather see this one as conditionally permitted on the parking compared to whatever else ends up being retail in that complex. Commissioner O'Connor stated that from a business perspective, these are tough times. He indicated that the Municipal Code has a section with some prohibited uses and some conditional uses such as a used clothing store. He noted that he was fine with just meeting the City code and thinks this needs to be left open so people have options when things are tough, and the last thing they want are vacancies in the centers. He stated that it is not good for the City, and it is not good for the center. He added that he does not think a whole lot should be prohibited and that he is fine with the list. Acting Chair Blank stated that the only comment he has on the list is on item 34, which he thought was a little general. He noted that on -site manufacturer is very vague and could be anything from a guy sitting in a workshop putting together some hand - crafted stuff, which he would be fine with, to some big noisy banging machine such as a cannery. He suggested that staff provide more clarification so it is not too vague. Commissioner Narum inquired if the Commission is fine with items 44, 45, 46 and 47 being permitted instead of being conditionally permitted, with the exception of the health club. Acting Chair Blank said yes. He then asked staff if they have what they needed. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 12, 2012 Page 36 of 40
