<br />Community Development Director Miller stated that it would be approved by staff and would not <br />go to the Council for approval, but they would be aware ofthem from the Weekly Update. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated that this is similar to the Home Occupation Ordinance, which is <br />now handled completely administratively. He stated that he would like the motion to include <br />language that wouldn't allow people to come back year after year and expand 19% of their square <br />footage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated that there isn't anything in the language about whether it meets <br />existing setback requirements. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated that staff would review this as a site plan so all the current <br />requirements, setbacks, and architectural standards would still apply. He noted that there won't <br />be any variances approved administratively. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated that he would like to see a report given at each monthly meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated that somewhere in the document, it stated that the fees will be at <br />the discretion of the staff, and asked what those would be. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated that the intent is to collect the same fee for any site plan, which <br />is currently a $200 fee and $800 escrow. He stated that they are anticipating that part of the <br />escrow funds will be refunded to the applicant with this new process. He stated that any <br />additional fees incurred, will be charged to the applicant, as they are now. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated that he doesn't see any language about Town Center being exempt <br />and wonders if that should be included. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill agreed that this should be included in the language. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt asked if the Commission was comfortable allowing staff to make decisions <br />on 43,560 sq. ft. buildings. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated that 43,560 sq. ft. is the disturbed area and the building <br />wouldn't actually be that large. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Miller noted that the size could be limited further, if they <br />aren't comfortable with the size. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt asked about the reporting process from staff. <br /> <br />Associate Planner stated that it will be included in the staff update and also reported to the <br />Council through the Weekly Update or even possibly on the Consent Agenda, so it becomes <br />official record. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 5, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />
