The Planning Commission will review the application for consistency with the requirements of the Planned Residential Development Chapter of the Zoning Code. (The public hearing on this matter is to be continued to Auqust 22, 1990.) Chairman Leonard opened the public hearing and indicated that the Planning Commission would be taking testimony on August 22nd and would encourage anyone wishing to speak on the proposal to do so at that time.

PLANNING COMMISSION July 25, 1990 Page 2 been provided by the applicant, but the Planning Commission could request this information following the public hearing. The Commission also requested the Planning Director list and provide a staff response to all mitigation measures available to the Planning commission during its review of the PRO. Finally, the Commission requested Planning staff schedule a tour of the site, which the Planning Commission may attend. This would have to be a public meeting and although there are logistical problems in doing this, Mr. Collins indicated that it would be appropriate to do so, after the public hearing was closed. Chairman Leonard called for a 10-minute break at 8:30 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:40 P.M. V PLANNING STUDIES Review of Zonina South of City Hall Mr. Beck presented the background information regarding this item, indicating that if the Planning Commission wishes to pursue a rezone of the area south of City Hall at this time, the Commission should determine which zoning district to schedule a hearing for and what boundaries the rezone should have. There was discussion by the Planning Commission regarding the allowance of motels near the Downtown area and whether the area would be appropriate for this type of use. The Planning Commission reached a consensus that the rezone should be to Office Commercial and that the comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee should look at the issue of allowing motels in areas functionally related to the Downtown core. Review of the 1991-1995 Capital Improvement Plan The Planning Commission reached a consensus that there was no need to review the 1991-1995 Capital Improvement Plan, but that in the future, due to requirements of the Growth Manage- ment Act, the Planning Commission would be required to review Capital Improvement Plans. VI COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC Mr. Collins indicated that a letter from Paul Cronauer regard- ing a Short Plat Advisory Committee, which had met in the past, was in the Planning commission's packet. The letter requested the Planning commission adopt the Advisory Com- mittee's findings regarding the Short Plat Code. PLANNING COMMISSION July 25, 1990 Page 3 . VIr STAFF REPORT Mr. Collins indicated that the City Council had advertised for the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee and that fifteen people had applied, three of whom were on the Planning Department's original list of seven suggested members. Mr. Collins stated that the Planning Commission would be holding public hearings on August 7th to review the Abbott Short Plat appeal; the Jay Ketchum Conditional Use Permit (one of the conditions of which had been appealed to the Council) ; and the Ruddell and Howatt rezones.

Mr. Collins said that Lucille Schmidt, the Ci ty I s Publ ic Information Officer, had prepared the release. . Mr. Philpott indicated that he had talked to the Interim city Manager regarding providing cookies and coffee at the Planning Commission meetings, and that Mr. Knutson had informed him that the Planning Commission would be required to pass a resolution for the Council's review in order to provide cookies and coffee. Mr. Philpott moved to adopt a resolution requesting cookies and coffee be provided at Planning Commission meetings at which public hearings are held. Mr. Anabel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Hulett noted the old City parking lot across from the old city Hall was overgrown with weeds and grass, and wondered whether this would fall under the City'S Nuisance Ordinance. Mr. Hulett also requested an update regarding the truck trailers used as a business on Railroad Avenue. Mr. Collins indicated he had talked with the Building Official and the Assistant Fire Chief and would be pursuing action pending their reports. Chairman Leonard requested an update from staff regarding the Thunderbird Boathouse Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Beck stated that a letter had been received from the Boathouse indicating that all conditions of the Conditional Use Permit had been met and that staff has not had an opportunity to verify this at this time. .
