Page 5 of 9 City Council is asked to review and discuss both the inclusion of a Class I thrift store use as a permitted use in the applicable zoning districts and the addition of a Class II thrift store use as a conditional use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts. The complete Zoning Map and maps of the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts are included as Attachments D and E, respectively, and the draft version of the updated Land Use Chart is included as Attachment C.

Rename Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Criteria b. Reorganize Subdivision 1 Development Standards to establish the requirements and criteria for all thrift store uses, criteria for Thrift Store, Class I as a permitted use, and criteria for Thrift Store, Class II as a conditional use. Staff has prepared language for Section 1325.046 to rename the section to align with the land use chart update to allow a Class I thrift store as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. The drafted language also reorganizes this section to specify criteria that is required of all thrift store uses, followed by additional criteria that are specific to Class I and Class II thrift store uses. Conditions A through C for all thrift store uses are existing standards in Section 1325.046 and already are applicable to a thrift store use. These conditions relate to where thrift store operations take place on the business site. At the May 7, 2025 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed how a thrift store use might receive and transfer merchandise while located within a multi-tenant building. It was brought up that most multi-tenant buildings do not have an enclosed structure for a business to receive items, which could create challenges for the existing condition for all thrift store uses, “All merchandise receiving, transfer, sorting, processing, and storage shall occur within a completely enclosed principal structure.” A concern was raised about how a thrift store use could receive goods at the store and how large items such as furniture could be accepted by a store, while limiting traffic impacts to multi-tenant building neighbors. The Planning Commission recommended amending the existing condition to remove receiving and transfer and to create new conditions to address receiving and transfer for Class I and Class II thrift stores. Staff has drafted language based on this recommendation for the City Council to consider. Included in the drafted language reviewed by the Planning Commission at the May 7, 2025 meeting, was criterion d, “Outdoor display and sales shall not be allowed.” Staff drafted this
