r PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Attached is a copy of the report prepared for the February meeting of the ' Planning Commission, this case was not considered due to the fact that the meeting went late into the evening. Near the end of the report, we suggest that since there seems to be relatively few cases of outside display in Roseville, the Planning Commission and Council may wish to consider handling it as a special use permit. We have also discovered that 'outdoor areas where merchandise, machinery, or equipment may be displayed or stored" is already listed as Number 16 of 20 Special Uses in the B-3 District only. To our knowledge, all of the existing outside display of merchandise in the City is already in the B-2 or the B-3 Districts. Thus, it may be considered appropriate to add outside display as a special use in the B-2 District. 2. In 1959, the Planning Commission and Council concluded that such outside display was considered appropriate for the least restrictive B-3 General Business District in the City. If -the Planning Commission and Council wishes to take this approach, the seven conditions previously discussed with the Planning Commission could be adopted as a criteria for considering a special use permit. With the establishment of such guideline criteria, it would appear that the processing of a special use permit for outside display and storage could be readily handled. 3. Under this scenario, a permit for such display up to eight days in a year (or possibly less) could be handled as a temporary permit issued by the building inspector. A reference to there possibly being less than eight days is a suggestion that eight days might be more than necessary. We suggest that such a temporary permit be allowed in any Business District where retail sales are allowed. That would include the B-2, B-3, B-4, and SC Shopping Center District as the ordinance currently states. Any special use permit for outside storage (on a permit basis) could continue to be confined to the B-2 and the B-3 Districts. 4. If the Planning Commission chooses to establish the policy decision, the Staff will prepare the appropriate amendments with the City Attorney and present them to the Council.
