(2006027) Chair Holmes introduced the request by Tile By Design, Inc. for a conditional use permit to allow accessory retail sales in the I-2 (General Industrial) Zoning District for property located at 1775 Xenium Lane North. Senior Planner Darling gave an overview of the May 30, 2006 staff report. Commissioner Clyman asked if there is retail parking next to the loading dock. Senior Planner Darling said it is unlikely that this parking would be used for the retail tenants because the main entry is on the east side of the building. She said they did indicate that they don't anticipate any shortage of parking since the majority of the east side of the building is used for warehousing, but employees can park in the interior parking. Commissioner Clyman asked if trucks, trailers or containers would be stored overnight. Senior Planner Darling said there could be some stored overnight in the loading area. Chair Holmes called on the representative for the applicant, Joan Martin, Tile by Design, Inc., 1720 Annapolis Lane North. Ms. Martin said that there is rarely any overnight parking in the back warehouse area. She said this area is typically occupied during the day when receiving containers and trucks. Chair Holmes opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. MOTION by Commissioner Weir, seconded by Commissioner Musliner, to approve the request by Tile By Design, Inc. for a conditional use permit to allow accessory retail sales in the I-2 Zoning District for property located at 1775 Xenium Lane North. Roll Call Vote. 7 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. Approved Planning Commission Minutes June 7, 2006 Page 3 7. NEW BUSINESS A. KYLA AWES (2006026) Chair Holmes introduced the request by Kyla Awes for an interim home occupation license to operate a chiropractic office out of the home located at 17235 12th Avenue North. Associate Planner Noelting gave an overview of the May 30, 2006 staff report. Commissioner Anderson asked for the hours of operation. Associate Planner Noelting said the ordinance would allow for 7:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. He said the applicant has indicated they would typically have clients between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Kyla Awes, D.C., Chiro Connection, P.A., 17235 12th Avenue North. Ms. Awes said they have two driveways at their residence and she is confident that will take care of parking needs. She said she doesn't plan to have more than one, maybe two, patients at the home at a time. She said the main reason she is doing this is because she recently graduated from chiropractic school. She said this is a way for her to get her practice started and then she is hoping that, maybe within a year, she can move to a retail location where she can expand her business. Ms. Awes said hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. is what the ordinance allows, but she will try to stay within what are regular chiropractic office hours. She said she definitely doesn't want people at her home at 10:00 p.m., so she doesn't think that it will be that late. Commissioner Clyman said this item should be approved. He asked if it is possible if it's not written in a resolution, that they could put up a sign in their front lawn with their business name on it. Planning Manager Senness responded no. MOTION by Commissioner Weir, seconded by Commissioner Murdock, to approve the request by Kyla Awes for an interim home occupation license to operate a chiropractic office out of the home located at 17235 12th Avenue North. Roll call vote. 7 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously. 8. ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Chair Holmes, without objection, to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m.
