Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 22,2018 Page 17 Mr. Paschke thought initially when this went before the Planning Commission, the thought was CMU1 would act similar to neighborhood business given its proximity to residential. Whatever the City was recommending for neighborhood business was proposed in CMU1 and then whatever was supported in the remain- der of the districts would have been consistent across the board that way. Other than that, he was not sure there was any magic to what is being seen other than the potential impacts that one use may have over another in those districts. Mayor Roe stated he would like staff to make sure this is correct because the in- creasing intensity of use and increasing number of uses types that are allowed moves from one to two to three to four and it seems odd it would show condition- al and then not allowed, etc. He thought staff needed to look specifically at dis- tillery, tap room, and tasting room listed as non-permitted in CMU2 and make sure that is the direction the Council wanted to go. Councilmember Etten asked if the Mayor was thinking about doing not permitted for CMU1 and conditional for CMU2. Mayor Roe thought it would be somewhere between conditional and permitted, depending on what is on either side in the CMU1 and CMU3. He did not think it made sense to have it the most restrictive, the way it is presented now. Councilmember Willmus stated what caught his eye was some of the inconsisten- cies as the Mayor has pointed out, going from a lesser intensive use to a more in- tensive use. He stated in Section 4 of Table 105-5, he would have the same con- cerns. Another thing that he did have a concern about is the parking space to seat ratio and that stepping aside or abandoning the patio seating. He thought the patio seating was something the City needs to have in play. Mayor Roe asked if the Council wanted to bring outdoor seating into the discus- sion or move forward with whatever the Council wants to move forward with and have this further reviewed or amended down the road. Councilmember Etten stated he would like to think about this now and would be in favor of using the restaurant number but include the outdoor seating. He thought one of the points to consider is people may be going to the business by themselves after work for happy hour and not as a family for dinner. If anything, he thought the parking requirements should be more than the average restaurant. Mayor Roe thought staff could add microbreweries, tap rooms, tasting rooms or cocktail rooms to the restaurant item already in place if that is the direction the Council is going. The Council agreed.
