Page 6 of 9 Accessory Uses Subd. 4 Accessory Outdoor Display and Sales. This regulation would not allow for a thrift store use to conduct outdoor display and sales of goods on the property. Based on the existing criteria for a thrift store use, which prohibits exterior storage, and 1325.02 Subd. 4, a thrift store use is not eligible for accessory outdoor display and sales. Criterion D is included to affirm existing ordinance language that would be applicable to a thrift store use. The drafted criteria for Class I thrift store use and Class II thrift store use are related to standards for a drive-through. The drafted language for a Class I thrift store use criteria includes a condition that a drive-through is not allowed, based on direction from City Council to establish parameters for thrift store operations that are compatible with a lower intensity thrift store use. The drafted language for a Class II thrift store use utilizes existing criteria for a thrift store use and includes a proposed amendment to the current standard D, which is related to accessory drive- through lanes. The proposed amendment makes it explicit that under the Class II thrift store use criteria, at least one (1) accessory drive-through service lane shall be provided. The standards applicable to a Class II thrift store and associated drive-throughs are largely the same as currently apply to all thrift stores today. The standards also reference that a thrift store use with a drive- through remains subject to the standards within Section 1325.04 Additional Minimum Requirements for Drive-in Businesses, Drive-up Windows, Fast Food Restaurants and Automobile Service Stations (Attachment E). The Planning Commission should review and discuss the drafted criteria. The Planning Commission may consider if additional criteria language or amendments should be included as part of the Commission’s recommendation to the City Council.
