2.7 Phone contacts. The draft ordinance requires the commercial property owner or manager of each business adjacent to a residential area to have a phone number that will be answered, at least mechanically, 24 hours a day by someone responsible for property management who is able to address concerns and complaints of residents. Concern was expressed that this was insufficient to provide a timely response. 3.0 Staff Recommendation 3.1 Review process. Adopt the Planning Commission recommendation, with an amendment to broaden those types of changes in use, or changes in the level of activity requiring a review by the conditional use process. 3.2 Service vehicles. Adopt the Planning Commission recommendation. The staff believes that it is in the city's interest to have business delivery and restocking activities occur within the "S-C" district during the least congested period of the 24 hour day. Such delivery periods will reduce traffic congestion and increase pedestrian and vehicular safety. 3.3 Backing operations within enclosed docking areas. Adopt the Planning Commission recommendation. The basis of the recommendations is excessive cost and space needs within existing centers. The improvement is difficult to justify in existing centers. If the vehicular backing activity is to be within a fully enclosed structure, there is a question as to whether the setback and screening requirements otherwise required by the ordinance are reasonable. 3.4 Rolling warehouses. With regard to temporary storage of inventory on site within vehicles or trailers, adopt the staff recommended amendment to Section 1006.02 F, (Off Street Parking) that would generally prohibit this practice. 3.5 Snow removal operations. Adopt the proposed staff modifications to 1006.02 H. This amendment would require a snow removal plan. 3.6 Outdoor speakers and communication devices. With regard to outdoor speakers, reinsert the language stricken by the Planning Commission. 3.7 Phone contacts. Adopt the staff proposed revision which requires that a number be provided by all businesses, property owners, or managers that would be answered by a person that has authority to respond to resident concerns or complaints, during the hours a business is open or commercial activities occur.
