(b) Plannine File 2792: Kenneth Clausen requests a conditional use permit for a coffee kiosk at 1515 West County Road B. Chairperson Harms opened the public hearing and requested Michael Falk to provide a background report. Mr. Falk explained that the proposed use of the site would be a coffee kiosk approximately lOx 8 feet in size with 2 employees. The site to be used is the parking lot of the Target Store adjacent to County Road B. The zoning on this site is SC Shopping Center and a conditional use permit is required for such uses. City Planner Falk provided a video presentation looking at the parking lot, the traffic, and the health issues. He noted the building will not be plumbed and that only electrical services will be installed. The building will use the Target Store as a commissary for hot water and other materials, as well as sanitizing equipment. Mr. Falk explained the parking requirements. He explained that currently the Target site is 5.4 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of store area. This is in excess of the city's standard. The hours of operation will be 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The staff recommended approval of the conditional use permit. Member Wall asked if the six criteria had been reviewed. (The staff said yes.) Member Thein asked if this project was originally from the Apple Valley High School and, secondly, whether water was to be brought to the shop or piped in. Member Harms asked what would happen if the building was vacated. Mr. Falk explained the building can be removed from the site as a portable building. The site would then revert back to a parking lot. The Commission discussed whether a conditional use permit can be written to take care of a lapse or a vacation in the site by such a use to eliminate the conditional use permit. The staff responded that it could be written into the conditional use permit, itself. 4
