The property is zoned PUD-Commercial District <br /> Mr. Harris presented his report (SR 84:347) dated June 19, 1984, regarding this <br />matter. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing open on this item. <br /> <br /> Mr. Stanley Cherry, 3688 Washington Street, presented pictures and displays of <br />various Big "0" stores. He stated he felt his business should not be treated differ- <br />ently than a service station use and it basically provides the same service except <br />for pumping gasoline. He stated he had been advised by the Director of Planning that <br />if he reduced the size of his outdoor display from 90 sq. ft. to half that size there <br />would not be any problem, but now he has been limited to 10 sq. ft., which he felt <br />was inappropriate for the signing of his business. He added there have not been any <br />complaints from surrounding merchants relative to his display. <br /> <br /> Mr. Craig Atkowski, 3S52 Lowry, Napa, representing Big "0" Tires, stated he felt <br />this use should be allowed, and suggested that the language might be changed to state <br />attractive instead of decorative display to sustain the business. He added this use <br />is the same service as a service station and should be treated equally. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jim Davidson, Martinez, Director of Advertising for Big "O" Tires, stated the <br />use should be compared with a gas station service. He presented a survey which re- <br />vealed that signs are the number one way of encouraging customers, and that the re- <br />quested display is necessary to the advertising for this business. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer presented a letter from Frank Auf der Maur and Konrad Rickenbach <br />dated June 26, 1984, stating they felt this would be a detriment to the area, raise <br />possible vandalism and theft potentials with repercussions to neighboring business, <br /> <br /> 8. 6/26/84 <br /> <br /> <br />
