It was moved by Councilmember Mohr that the appeal of Interstate Uniform Services Corporation of a decision of the Planning Commission denying their application for a conditional use permit which would allow an addition of 2,500 sq. ft. to the existing nuclear laundry facility at 65 Ray Street, be denied. Councilmember Kephart stated there was incomplete evidence to make a decision and that he needed to hear from staff if this is an appropriate land use. Mr. Harris stated that staff would not be able to respond to the nuclear issue but could deal with land use. Councilmember Butler stated that the land use question is one that should be addressed and he felt the item should be deferred for further staff report. Council- member Butler stated that with regard to his involvement in the nuclear industry, he had made no professional evaluation of the nuclear laundry and did not intend to do so. He stated it was his personal opinion that the maximum amount of radioactivity at that facility insured that the hazard was negligible. Councilmember Butler added he thought the neighbors have a problem with lack of information and in not understanding the situation, and he would like to see that matter addressed also. After further discussion, Councilmember Mohr withdrew her motion to deny the appeal of Interstate Uniform Services Corporation. It was moved by Councilmember Kephart to direct staff to prepare a recommendation, out of the input received tonight, directed toward the land use aspect. The City Attorney advised that the Ordinance Code allows the City Council to make a decision on a matter within 40 days after closing of a public hearing. After further discussion, Councilmember Kephart withdrew his motion.
