Commissioner O'Connor: So I'm hearing that if that's the direction you're going; that the buffer zone is prohibited without a special permit, I could be on board with that again because we limit it to so many for the year. I don't want somebody bugging Gerry every month for a special event. If we did it once a quarter or 4 times a year, I could be on board with that, but not that it's open anytime someone wants a special event. Commissioner Balch: Do you want to throw a number out? Commissioner O'Connor: Four. Once a quarter. Commissioner Nagler: And an hour event is the same as an all -day event? Commissioner O'Connor: So pick your event carefully. Don't ask for one hour. Commissioner Nagler: And an eight participant yoga class is the same as an all day event? Commissioner O'Connor: So you wouldn't pick that would you? You'd hold it inside. Commissioner Balch: I think the premise of what the four of us are on is that hey, this is a landscaped buffer and if you want to use it, it is on a high bar because its intention is to buffer from the neighborhood. Frankly, after hearing from the neighbors tonight, it's a bigger problem than I initially anticipated with it only being a Miller problem, and it's a residential area. They built a commercial building in a residential area. What do you want from me? There are conditions there and you've got to play in the sandbox. That's how I see it. Commissioner Nagler: Okay, and I completely get it and if somebody makes a motion to this regard, I'm absolutely going to support it, but I also think just for the record, we need to as a Planning Commission say that any future use of this piece of property we are going to maintain an interest that we remain cognizant of the need to protect the neighbors of noise generation. Chair Ritter: We just did that by this whole discussion honestly. I think we've communicated to staff that's the way we feel; I don't think that needs to be part of the CUP. Commissioner Balch: Well, my argument would be what if it becomes homes in the future frankly, so .... it could be. They could easily pull a demolition permit and build houses. So going to the context, I don't think the matter before us we have the authority to find the property zoning conditions like that because this is a CUP not a zoning, but expressing the sentiment of the conditions. Chair Ritter: Exactly, and I'm sure the residents would make sure they see that. Commissioner Balch: I think we're moving through this pretty quick now actually. Chair Ritter: Do we want to go through these or....? PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2016 Page 38 of 56
