<br />Mr. Iserson advised that the focus on the amount of office footage is because the applicant <br />first applied for zoning approval as an office use. <br /> <br />A discussion ensued among the Commissioners whether or not a new category should be <br />added or whether this application is found to be a similar business. Commissioners Wright, <br />Finch and Michelotti would rather grant a similar conditional use permit than create a new <br />category in the ordinance. Commissioner Hovingh stated his vision that the downtown core <br />should be revenue generating retail business with work done on site. Mr. Iserson agreed that <br />this was the policy expressed in the Specific Plan, and was one of the reasons for staff s <br />concern with the use on Spring Street. <br /> <br />Chairman McGuirk stated his appreciation for the applicant's work on the application, but he <br />believes the main thrust of the business is a storage area for a drive-out business. Therefore, <br />he is not in support of the business. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commi......ioner Wright, seconded by Commi......ioner Mahem, <br />making the determination that a landscape business, with an office and on-site storage <br />of trucks and equipment, is a conditional use similar to "janitorial services and supplies" <br />in the C-C (Central Commercial) District. <br /> <br />Commissioner Michelotti expressed her concern for approving as a similar use a business <br />that could possibly be called a nonconforming use in the future. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAIN: <br /> <br />Commissioners Michelotti, Mahern, and Wright <br />Commissioner Hovingh and Chairman McGuirk <br />None <br />None <br /> <br />Resolution No. PC-94-18 was entered and adopted determining the landscape <br />maintenance business as a conditional use. <br /> <br />7.
