2. Overview of Request The Applicant is proposing to amend the Arden Plaza PUD to allow for a Class I thrift store use and the operation of the thrift store business, Odds & Ends Again within Building #5 at the Subject Property. Odds & Ends Again is a thrift store component of Senior Life Management, a company that is focused on helping seniors stay independent in their homes as long as possible. The company provides maintenance and handyman services, realty services, moving and packing services, in addition to the Odds & Ends Again store. The location within the Subject Property would be the site of the thrift store operations and serve as the main office for Senior Life Management operations. It may also be utilized for staff meetings on a quarterly basis. In Attachment D, the Applicant provided additional details about the other company operations and how they are primarily conducted in off -site locations. As part of the Senior Life Management company, Odds & Ends Again is a thrift store where items received through the moving and packing services component of Senior Life Management may be consigned for profit. Items at Odds & Ends Again are primarily sourced from clients of the moving and packing services. Odds & Ends Again also sources new wholesale items and products made by local artists, such as soaps, jewelry, and other craft items for sale. The Odds & Ends Again thrift store public hours of operations are Wednesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Applicant states that the store would be closed to shoppers on Mondays and Tuesdays but staff would be working to receive new items and prepare them for sale. Due to the business stocking primarily used goods, and the operational characteristic of receipt of goods through consignment, the operations of Odds & Ends Again fall under the City's definition of Thrift Store. By definition in the Zoning Code, a thrift store use is defined separately from a retail sales and services use. On May 27, 2025, the City Council approved an ordinance amendment to modify definitions for thrift store use, determine zoning districts for thrift store use, and establish performance standards for thrift stores. The modified definition and performance standards established Class I and Class II thrift store uses to address the potential range of thrift store locations and business operations. The thrift store definition is provided below. • Thrift Store. A business for which the stock of goods is primarily used and may include the following operational characteristics: • Processing, conditioning, cleaning, or repair of used or returned items for resale. • Storage of used items on site for processing, resale, or disposal. • Receipt of goods through purchase, consignment, or donation. ➢ Class 1. Above uses in a business located within a multi -tenant building which occupies less than 7,000 square feet or less than 20 percent of the building square footage in a multi -tenant building, whichever is lower. ➢ Class H. Above uses in a business located within a standalone building or located within a multi -tenant building which occupies greater than 7,000 square feet or greater than 20 percent of a multi -tenant building.
