Commissioner O'Connor noted that having items on the Consent Calendaz has helped the <br />Commission and recalled that only two items have been pulled from the Calendaz for further <br />discussion but was also approved that evening. He stated that this would streamline the process, <br />cutting down on the amount of time applicants have to wait for staff to put a report together and <br />then schedule for a Commission hearing, something the City wants. <br />Commissioner Olson recalled that Ms. Decker had key points to which she wanted to call the <br />Commission's attention. <br />Ms. Decker noted that there were two items whose language needed to be reviewed: (1) Item 4 <br />of Exhibit A on page 2, which relates to the ability of the Planning Director to refer an approved <br />permitted use to the Commission for mitigation or revocation if a neighbor were to complain <br />about impacts such as noise or pazking. She noted that staff wanted to take a closer look at this <br />matter because they may be in conflict with other provisions of the Code in terms of where it <br />puts the City and the risks that may ensue from such actions. (2) Item 5 of Exhibit A on page 2, <br />which relates to incompatible uses in the I zoning district such as lazge daycaze facilities and <br />gymnasiums in the same complex as a roofing company which may emit noxious fumes. She <br />noted that staff would like to take a closer look at this matter and have the Commission's input in <br />terms of whether to limit or prohibit incompatible uses, have the tenant sign an <br />acknowledgement of the existence of businesses with aze noise or emit fumes, or something else. <br />Acting Chairperson Fox requested staff to give a general idea of where the different zoning <br />districts in the City aze located. Ms Decker replied that it might be more helpful to the Commission if <br />staff brought this back with additional information and a zoning map which would identify where those <br />areas are located. <br />In relation to Item I. under Chapter 18.40 on page 6 of Exhibit A, Commissioner Blank requested <br />clarification on the location of private schools with 300 feet of personal wireless service <br />facilities. Acting Chairperson Fox explained that the original amendment provided that no <br />nursery schools, childcaze facility, elderly facility, or similaz facilities may be located within <br />300 feet of a personal wireless service facilities. <br />Commissioner Peazce stated that she found streamlining the process for facilities with <br />25 students or less to be a great idea and would like to have additional information on the <br />recently approved conditional use permits to nail down some of the issues in the past and see <br />what the right number is based on the nexus of size and problems. <br />Commissioner Blank agreed and stated that doing something for less than 25 would be <br />amenable. <br />Acting Chairperson Fox preferred the number to be between 15 or 20. She added that she would <br />also like to look at pazking in the Downtown azea for all those who might arrive at one time, for <br />example, for a class of 25 who might need to find pazking, as opposed to those who aze dropped <br />off. Commissioner O'Connor noted that pazking analysis would be part of the process. <br />Commissioner Blank noted that this would depend on uses, for example, a tutoring class of two <br />hours each would generate less trips than a 30-minute class. Ms. Harryman noted that the <br />number includes employees at the facility. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES December 27, 2006 Page 15 of 19 <br />
