for 22 years. He has heard customers saying they had no place to pazk and that they had gone elsewhere; he was very concerned about how the school would manage the parking. Mr. Skinner noted that parking was their primary issue in their current location and that they had an addendum in their lease that the landlord reserves the right to put in allocated pazking spaces for the students. They planned to have 6,500 squaze feet of the clinic floor devoted to classes, and there would be approximately 125 students. They also planned to use the floor azea for expanded classrooms, study azeas, and offices. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas regarding whether it was appropriate for a landlord to label pazking spaces, Ms. Decker replied that staff was unaware of that part of their agreement. Typically, the City does not support g spaces in a parking lot. Staff had evaluated the pazking as being sufficient, and if there were a problem in the future, the issue of parking could be revisited as part of the conditional use permit. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas regazding the sale of products in a trade school, Ms. Decker replied that the conditional use permit is for a trade school; retail is a permitted use. Commissioner Maas believed that while competition was a part of American business life, an ancillary sale of products should have a percentage defined for this use. Mr. Sasso noted that his lease stated that he had 100 squaze feet of boutique space and added ~ that the school should be able to sell small quantities of the products they use. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Blank suggested that the applicant retain signed acknowledgements from the students regazding the parking preferences. Ms. Decker noted that Condition No. 5 attempted to address that issue and that the applicant was supportive of providing a flyer to educate the students regazding parking in the back. Commissioner Blank moved to make the required conditional use findings as listed in the staff report and to approve Case PCUP-153, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B, as recommended by staff, with the modification of Condition No. 5 that the students sign and acknowledge the fact that they will park in such a way to have the least impact on other retail operations in the facility. Commissioner Maas seconded the motion. ~' PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES March 8, 2006 Page 9 of 22
