Commissioner Balch: But if I may, the one thing I think we should keep in mind is that not every applicant for a Minor PUD is going to have a Minor CUP. I didn't mean it to be that this is every case, right? In my case, when I went through the Minor PUD process, similar to how staff is doing now under the great work of Shweta, we basically are removing blacksmiths, we're removing smelting from permitted uses. These were all permitted uses. I could have opened a blacksmith shop because apparently, that's what we should be able to do. So, we removed those, right? To remove is a Minor PUD process, as well, so notice period, waiting period, appeal period. I don't think every Minor PUD is going to subsequently have a Minor CUP, but my concern is that when the Minor CUP is the prize and it is so hotly desired, currently it will take four months to do because theoretically the Minor PUD puts in a conditional use, the CUP has to come to us via the Consent Calendar and be noticed to 1,000 feet, right? And so, this body gets to see it, and then this is reducing the noticing period to 300 feet versus the 1,000 feet for a hearing item. Bonn: Correct, so the Minor CUP noticing radius is proposed to be 300 feet where the PUD Modification noticing is 1,000 feet. Beaudin: I think there are two criteria there —the minor conditional uses are supposed to be uses more routine in nature and things that we have pretty standard conditions for that we can apply, and so they should be less impactful on the community. Things that require a CUP shouldn't ever elevate into neighborhood issues. By definition, they're minor in nature. And then the notice criteria; the idea here again is that these are things that are going to fit into the existing context that they're being proposed in. Chair Ritter: My thinking is that the first time it goes through its going to be a little more challenging, but we're going to make sure that we've vetted all the options. That's why you want it to be checked, but the second, third, fourth, fifth - anybody who submits after, those will go through way more efficiently. Commissioner Balch: Yes because they don't have the 10 and the 20 days because the PUD allowed the use. Chair Ritter: So the original one is the double check Commissioner Balch: Yes, because it's putting a use in an area that has not been there. That's why it needs the two -steps in my opinion. Commissioner Brown: Can I clarify one thing with Gerry? The Minor PUD noticing radius is 1,000 feet —is it 1,000 feet of the PUD or 1,000 feet of the business that would be going in? Beaudin: It's the properties that are encompassed by the PUD. The Minor PUD process is 1,000 feet. The Minor CUP is proposed at 300 feet, so the scope gets smaller based on the use.
