Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 4, 2015 Page 24 At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Bilotta noted this might include other uses, some current in the northwest area of Twin Lakes, such as an incuba- tor use or a business that had an office in the front and a "clean room" for pro- cessing in the back (e.g. electronic components and blood meter production), or other businesses where others manufactured the part and they were put together in a facility permitted under this type of use category. Mr. Bilotta advised that staff received many inquiries for that type of use or category, typically a one-story in- dustrial park throughout the area. As a general goal, and as indicated on this working copy of the Use Table, Mr. Bilotta advised that if you stood outside the building, you would see no difference from this and an ordinary office building, even though production and processing were occurring inside, and sometimes even multi-tenant uses. Mr. Bilotta opined that the only tricky part was in ad- dressing the level of deliveries. However, at this point, Mr. Bilotta advised that staff was trying to keep the understanding more on the street level than defining the uses in more detail for this exercise. Mayor Roe noted a definition currently existed in code for this use; with Coun- cilmember Laliberte clarifying that the definition dealt mostly with sound, as con- firmed by Mr. Bilotta. Councilmember Laliberte stated that her only caveat for this use would be related to sound and potential impacts from shift work and disruptive traffic patterns; with Mayor Roe adding another caveat for odors. Mr. Bilotta duly noted those caveats, adding others already in place that would address how the use was conducted indoors and whether or not it was compatible with other uses in the same building or complex. Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this remained a P use in all zones as indicated in the 2014 change. Industrial: Limited Warehousing/Distribution Councilmember McGehee noted this was the use hashed out in the past regarding the number and size of trucks and provided in RB-2. Councilmember McGehee stated she would not want this use in Subarea A, but would support it in Subareas B or C. Councilmember Laliberte noted her concurrence with the proposed 2014 changes. Mayor Roe noted they could be P under that proposed 2014 change. Councilmember Willmus stated they should be left as a P use under CU in all zoning categories.
