Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 27,2018 Page 7 policy anything that there is any problem with an indefinite, in the extent that they could grant a ten-year interim use. The other thing is, her main objection to this idea of doing it across the City is it does, by definition, invite more traffic into residential neighborhoods that might not go there. This was a neighborhood busi- ness and was supposed to be for the neighbors and not necessarily for everyone. She stated if they look at all the letters from Mudslingers, there are a number of people who are on their way here and there and do not live by there, but they use it. The fact is that this particular corner is a very popular route, both North and South and East and West, which is not true of some of the other corners. Councilmember Willmus stated one of the things they could look at doing that they have done in other designations throughout the City and other zoning desig- nations, is to create a Neighborhood Business 2. One of the parameters for that may be geographical proximity to single-family or medium-density residential or lack of proximity. Maybe, also look along certain corridors or larger roadways and allow this either as a permitted use within a Neighborhood Business 2 desig- nation, of which he thinks Mudslingers current property would fall, or as a condi- tional use. He indicated he did share concerns of looking at and changing this to a conditional use City wide. He did recognize the value of this business and how well it has worked within this site and thought what makes it work is some of the features that are existing on the site and a handful of other sites throughout the community but not all of the neighborhood zone. Councilmember Laliberte asked if the Council is not ready to work on the zoning text amendment part of this item, does that preclude them from taking up the con- ditional permit request on the second part of this. Mayor Roe did not think they could take action on the second part if it is not al- lowed and would stay as not permitted until such time as the council change that. He thought the appropriate action, if they do not do the text amendment, would be to deny because it has been applied for in order to keep it clean. Mr. Gaughan explained this is a request related to zoning, so they would have to provide written notice of the denial to the applicant with the basis for that action. Councilmember Laliberte asked if there is an ability to change any of the condi- tions that were in the original interim use. Mr. Gaughan indicated only if there were some sort of amendment or extension of the interim use could the existing conditions be changed. Mayor Roe noted the conditions of the interim use expire at the end of October so if they were to extend, they could add whatever conditions they might want to through an extension.
