<br />Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br />Direction for proposed amendments to thrift store use <br /> <br />At the March 10, 2025 City Council Work Session, Councilmembers discussed how the City’s <br />zoning code regulates the land use of thrift store. The conversation included a discussion of in <br />which zoning districts the land use was currently allowed and the regulation of thrift store use by <br />conditional use permit. Direction was given to staff to provide information on the current zoning <br />language for thrift store use for discussion at a future City Council Work Session. <br /> <br />At the April 14, 2025 City Council Work Session, staff presented findings, explaining that retail <br />sales and service and thrift store uses are defined separately in the Zoning Code. Retail sales and <br />services and thrift store uses are also zoned separately as shown in the following table. <br /> <br />From Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart <br />Uses Zoning Districts <br /> R- <br />1 <br />R- <br />2 <br />R- <br />3 <br />R- <br />4 <br />NB B- <br />1 <br />B- <br />2 <br />B- <br />3 <br />B- <br />4 <br />CC GB I- <br />1 <br />I- <br />2 <br />I- <br />FLEX <br />CD POS INST <br />Retail <br />Sales & <br />Services <br />== == == == P A P P P C A A A A == == == <br />Thrift <br />Store <br />== == == == == == == == C == == == == C == == == <br /> <br />A Retail Sales and Service use would be allowed in all of the commercial zoning districts whether <br />it be by permitted, conditional, or accessory use. A Thrift Store use would require a conditional <br />use permit to operate in the B-4 – Retail Center District and I-FLEX zoning districts. A Thrift <br />Store use would not be allowed in the other zoning districts. <br /> <br />Councilmembers discussed the provided information and the current zoning language for thrift <br />store use. Comments included suggestions to address types of thrift store operations that would be <br />conducted in the business location, to allow for a thrift store use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning <br />Districts, and to distinguish between different intensities of thrift store operations. Direction was <br />given to staff to draft ordinance language to modify how a thrift store use is regulated in the Zoning <br />Code and to bring the drafted amendments to the Planning Commission for review. <br /> <br />Overview of Ordinance Amendments <br /> <br />Staff has prepared a draft ordinance identifying language to be added for the Planning <br />Commission’s review (Attachment A). The applicable Sections to be modified are as follows: <br /> <br />• Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions <br />• Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-2, General Business District, B-3, Service <br />Business Zoning District, B-4, Retail Center District, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts <br />• Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria <br /> <br /> <br />
