<br />*NB regulations require buffer yards of 30 feet where development is proposed adjacent to residential
<br />areas.
<br />**The dedication of the pedestrian way at the west side of the property provides legal status for the
<br />City trail in this location (the existing trail is proposed to be straightened out and relocated slightly to
<br />the west). While having this pedestrian way dedicated is a desirable feature, it essentially shrinks the
<br />setback for the building housing units 1-3 from 30 feet to 10 feet.
<br />
<br />Use
<br />The use of the property is proposed as office condominiums. Office is a permitted use in the
<br />Neighborhood Business Zoning District. Other permitted uses include: clinics not to exceed
<br />3,000 gross square feet; financial institutions and services not to exceed 5,000 square feet
<br />(and only those that do not have a drive-thru facility nor an outdoor or detached automated
<br />kiosk); and certain types of retail sales and services, not to exceed 3,000 square feet, and
<br />including only the following: antiques, art and school supplies, bakeries, bicycles (not
<br />motorized), books, stationery, candy, camera and photographic supplies, carpets and rugs,
<br />china and glassware, clothing and costume rental, convenience store, custom dressmaking,
<br />dmgs, dry goods, florist, garden supplies (year-round operation only), gifts, grocery,
<br />hardware, hats, hobby shops, household appliance repair, interior decorating (no retail
<br />furniture sales), jewelry, locksmith shops, musical instruments, paint and wallpaper, shoes,
<br />sporting goods, tobacco, toys, and wearing apparel, and similar type uses.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Special uses include restaurants not to exceed 3,000 gross square feet (exterior seating will
<br />be considered based on its impact to adjacent .residential uses outside of the neighborhood
<br />business district) and dwelling units as part of a mixed use development including non-
<br />residential structures. Automobile related businesses, liquor stores, and restaurants,
<br />exceeding 40 percent in gross liquor receipts of the total food and liquor receipts, would are
<br />prohibited in the Neighborhood Business District. Consideration for special uses would
<br />require that the applicant return to the Planning Commission and City Council for review of a
<br />special use permit/mnendment to the POO. This process would involve a similar public
<br />hearing process to the one used for this planning case. Consideration for any prohibited uses
<br />could only be considered through a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment, which again would
<br />require a similar public hearing process.
<br />
<br />While currently the use of the site has only been proposed as "office condominiums", it is
<br />important that the Planning Commission specify their expectations for current and future use
<br />of the site through conditions in the Plmmed Unit Development document. If for example the
<br />Planning Commission did not want a retail use, which is otherwise permitted in the NB
<br />district, a condition should be added to the POO document. Another way to address this
