V PLANNING STUDIES Bed and Breakfast Zoning Ordinance Amendment Mr. Carr reviewed the proposed changes in the draft ordinance. The Commission, staff and public discussed the PLANNING COMMISSION July 8, 1987 Page 2 . proposed amendment at length. Proposed condition "011 was a major area of discussion. The Commission was undecided whether bed and breakfasts should be restricted to existing single-family residences or could be allowed in brand new construction. Additional information and more public input was desirable before reaching a decision. The Commission also decided that regulating changes in the nature of the bed and breakfast would also benefit from further public discussion. Mr. Hulett moved to set a public hearing for the August 12th meeting. Mr. Glass seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Retail Stands Mr. Miller reviewed the draft ordinance on Retail Stands, noting the changes from the previous draft. Jerry Cornell, representing the Port Angeles Downtown Association, listed their key concerns: 1. The Association would like some ability to not allow a retail stand in front of stores because the stores have some right to the right-of-way as well. 2. They are concerned about locating retail stands next to similar businesses. 3. The Association would like the areas in which retail stands may be permitted more clearly identified. Staff explained that presently the entire Downtown would be available for retail stands. The concept of permitted subareas was dropped. The Commission, public and staff discussed the appropriate distance between retail stands and stores that sell similar goods. Following further discussion on permitted uses and activities in rights-of-way, the Commission decided to obtain legal opinion on the issue, in particular on Condi tion "K II on page 5 of the draft ordinance. The Commission also wanted further clarification of the term . . "specialized". . . .

Mr. Glass seconded the motion, which passed 6 - 0 (Mr. Philpott had left during discussion) . VI COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None. VII REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS Chairman Lemon inquired if the information on the Raab variance had been obtained. Mr. Carr explained that the Board requested a written synopsis on the information and that was being prepared. Mr. Wight suggested the Planning Commission further explore the delegation of certain duties to the City Manager and his staff in order to eliminate much of the ministerial type permit processing of the Commission. Ms. Davison-Ness inquired as to the Zak IS sign on the Downtown tavern. Mr. Carr explained that staff had met with the owner and he was pursuing a variance to the Downtown Sign Code.
