The Planning Commission is being asked to <br />legitimize it with conditions. There is a matter of whether the applicant will find the additional <br />controls acceptable and whether there is any significant objection to the increase of size to the <br />business by adjacent homeowners. <br /> <br />Mr. Barrett asked if he would be allowed to expand his business at this site. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Nixt informed the applicant in order to expand his business, he would have <br />to apply for an amended Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson informed the applicant it would be very hard to expand a commercial use <br />in a residential area. He stated if a Conditional Use Permit is granted, it will set a precedent. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 2, 2000 <br /> Page 5 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
