VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. None
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Max Storage – Indoor Soccer Use
City Planner Nathan Fuerst introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting that there is a
request for an indoor soccer training business where the sessions would be privately booked and
limited to individuals or small groups by appointment only. The parking area on site would be
limited to six spaces. Property owners (Nam Ly and Chad Anderson) were present, as well as
applicant future possible tenant Michael Vang (founder of Playma). Mr. Vang answered questions
about the proposed use. Discussion ensued about hours of operation, parking, occupancy load,
number of clients in the facility, etc.
City Planner Fuerst stated that staff found that there were two similar categories that the proposed
use may fit under through the Table of Allowed Uses (Commercial Recreation which is allowed by
Conditional Use in the I-1 District and Indoor Shooting/Archery Range which is permitted within
the I-1 District). City Planner Fuerst stated that staff are looking for directions on whether the
proposed use fits either of these existing categories or whether the Commission would like to
consider adding additional categories to the table. He stated that he felt that there were three actions
that could be taken on this item: the commission could say that the use is most like Commercial
Recreation with a Conditional Use Permit Application from the applicant; the commission could
say that the use is most similar to Indoor Shoot/Archery Range and nothing more is needed; amend
the Land Use Table and modify uses in the code to be more broad or more defined and suggested
that indoor fitness center/gyms/health clubs/golf simulator are not addressed.
Motion by Commission Member Oldenburg-Downing, seconded by Commission Member
Seppala to recommend amending City Code, Chapter 156 and Table of Allowed Use to reflect
a new category “Indoor Recreation” and including more specific definitions as proposed by
Staff.
Discussion ensued regarding the inclusion of “Indoor” and “Outdoor” under Commercial
Recreation. City Planner Fuerst stated that he would separate the two.
Roll Call: Chairperson Kalina, Commissioners Oldenburg-Downing, Olson, Thompson and
Seppala. Motion carried.
