Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 25,2013 Page 12 Discussion included whether to add a definition for permitted use or Conditional Use, or as a stand-alone use in those districts for warehouse distribution uses that were not processing anything; clarification that the vehicles were identified as the specific number related to operations, and not delivery trips per day or intended to address semi-trucks; and the need to provide code language to add criteria for Conditional Uses as well as permitted uses. Public Comment Mark Rancone Mr. Rancone sought to clarify the intent that this proposed text amendment did not preclude semi-trucks delivering raw goods or picking up goods, similar to those at existing retail stores. Mr. Rancone sought to ensure that such restrictions didn't occur, but that the language was intended to address delivery vans for a particular company. Mr. Rancone noted that the vehicles could and should in- clude service trucks, mechanical trucks for repairs, distribution vans, and employ- ee vehicles. Mr. Rancone provided several examples and the limitations of park- ing space available in most buildings that may be used for this purpose. Mr. Paschke clarified that the intent was for fleet vehicles used to distribute goods. Mayor Roe suggested that clarification also be included in any text amendment for enforcement by staff and as an information source for those using the code. Willmus moved, McGehee seconded, TABLING this item for concurrent discus- sion and action on it and the previous item as noted. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Etten; McGehee; Laliberte; and Roe. Nays: None. c.
