Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 27, 2018 Page 13 for approval of conditional use for drive-throughs. None of the Districts allow drive-throughs as permitted, they are only conditional or not permitted at this time. Councilmember Etten stated this is the same thing they talked about at Fairview and County Road D and they are looking at a new process moving forward. Ms. Collins noted for a point of clarity, the concern with the Fairview and County Road D was that site was not notified within the 'X' radius of that particular site because they were looking at a text amendment. In this particular case, they had that conversation and knew they needed to notify at least the radius around Mud- slingers and that was performed for the conditional use. It should be noted that for the other neighborhood districts, that would be costly. If they set a precedent going forward because Neighborhood Business Districts are speckled throughout the community, should they make a change to Community Business District or even their residential, then they are notifying the entire community which is very costly. But then also they need to make sure their message is very clear to say the property next to the residential is not changing; however, it could change down the road. This is a very hard message for the community. Mayor Roe thought the item needed to be directed to what was being proposed in this item. He indicated there was a suggestion from Councilmember Willmus that starts to have some sense to it, which is to potentially approve what is being pro- posed at the meeting but then direct staff to come back with an Interim Ordinance as soon as possible that meets all statutory notice requirements. Etten moved, Willmus seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1563 (Attachment F), entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title 10, Zoning, of the City Code to Al- low Drive-Through Facilities as Conditional Uses in the Neighborhood Business Zoning District," based on the content of this RCA, the public record, and City Council deliberation. Council Discussion Councilmember Etten stated this item has gotten a lot of public input and the sup- port of Mudslingers is tremendous around the City and beyond. He also appreci- ated reading the discussion the Planning Commission had and seeing they were wrestling with the same issues the Council is having. He hoped what will change is that in the future they will have more time to make decisions rather than com- ing up against a deadline. He noted this area is different from the County Road D situation in that there are standards they have been using successfully in the City and the other situation they did not have standards set. This also allows a check in with each property because it is a conditional use and not a straight permitted use. This has been successful and has worked for four years in this location as an interim use so for those reasons, he would support this motion.
