The Planning Commission made comments on the following: • The adequacy of the drive-through stacking, especially for the proposed coffee shop use. • The proximity of the menu boards for each use to one another and their location in relation to the pick-up window. • The adequacy of turning movements for longer, extended cab pick-up trucks. • The drive-through lanes should be wider (10-12 feet). • Traffic conflict at the exit lanes for each drive-through because they merge together. • The design of the Jimmy John’s outdoor seating area was discussed at length. More detail was requested regarding type of fencing, seating location, and pedestrian access. Concern was expressed about pedestrian conflicts with the coffee shop drive-through exit lane and whether the Jimmy John’s outdoor patio will obstruct the view of vehicles exiting the covered coffee shop drive-through. Preparation of a cross-section drawing and consideration of speed bumps, a pedestrian crosswalk, and adding windows to the sides of the Jimmy John’s and coffee shop that face the coffee shop drive-through lane were recommended. • Should there be a minimum lot size requirement for properties with more than one drive-through use? The Planning Commission expressed support for the two drive-through uses subject to the conditional use permit/s addressing the comments raised at tonight’s work session. Planning Commission Work Session Minutes – January 19, 2023 Page 2 2023 Zoning Ordinance Update Ms. Jenson provided an overview of the January 12th staff memo regarding the possible items for consideration with the 2023 Zoning Ordinance update. The list of items has been compiled by staff since the 2022 Zoning Ordinance update was approved by the City Council on April 4, 2022. The following specific provisions were discussed: Platted and Unplatted Property. The Planning Commission supports amending the Zoning Ordinance as described in the January 12th staff memo. Multiple Family Exterior Materials. The Planning Commission supports allowing multiple family uses in the M-1 and M-2 districts to have 50% brick, stucco or stone (vs. 65% as required for commercial uses) provided the remaining 50% is Grade B and/or C materials (similar to commercial uses). Residential Driveway Street Access. The Planning Commission supports amending the ordinance as staff suggests in the January 12th memo subject to meeting minimum lot size and width requirements to be determined. The Planning Commission understands the challenges for deeper residential lots with longer and narrower driveways having the need for vehicles to be able to turn around instead of having to back out of their driveway. Parking Stall Locations. The Planning Commission supports amending the Zoning Ordinance as described in the January 12th staff memo. Number of Required Parking Spaces. The Planning Commission supports reviewing commercial and industrial parking requirements but not multiple family and senior housing with services, which they feel are under parked. They cited Springs at Lakeville, Northlake Lofts, Beehive, and The Moments as examples of such uses that they feel are under parked. Solar Energy Systems. The Planning Commission supports amending the Zoning Ordinance to increase the square footage allowed for ground mounted solar panels on residential properties subject to meeting specific performance standards. Staff will research other cities and prepare performance standards for review by the Planning Commission. Home Occupations. The Planning Commission supports amending the Zoning Ordinance as described in the January 12th staff memo. Commercial Drive-Throughs. The Planning Commission does not support amending the Zoning Ordinance to require drive-through uses to have a bypass lane. Cosmetic Tattooing. The Planning Commission supports amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow cosmetic tattooing as an accessory use in the O-R, C-1, and C-CBD districts. Planning Commission Work Session Minutes – January 19, 2023 Page 3 Commercial and Industrial Building Heights. The Planning Commission supports staff researching other cities and their requirements with respect to amending the Zoning Ordinance to increase the permitted building heights in commercial and industrial districts subject to increased building setbacks for increased building height, similar to the current requirement for increased building height by conditional use permit. Conditional Use Permits. The Planning Commission supports staff reviewing and recommending changes to uses allowed by conditional use permit in the various zoning districts for review by the Planning Commission at a future work session. CUP/IUP/PUD Amendments. The Planning Commission supports amending the Zoning Ordinance as described in the January 12th staff memo but not for the expansion of non- conforming uses. Building Height. The Planning Commission supports amending the ordinance to require a variance, not a CUP, for increased building height provided this is considered in conjunction with the proposed ordinance amendment to increase building heights in commercial and industrial districts. The work session adjourned at 8:29 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Daryl Morey, Planning Director
