The code amendments of 1990 substantially increase the probability that various land uses will require a conditional use permit. In the past, there have been discussions regarding the need to reduce the number of conditional use permits being processed and streamline the system for both the applicant and City Staff. One way to accomplish this is to convert to performance zoning and eliminate those regulations which cause the need for a conditional use permit. If you look at the B- 3 District regulations, for instance, you will see that in addition to naming 'permitted uses', it lists the uses that may be developed with a conditional use permit if they meet the criteria listed. If we have determined that these additional conditional uses are appropriate along the highway and under what conditions, then why require a conditional use permit? Recommendation: Review the B-3 Highway Business District regulations enclosed and be prepared to give City Staff direction for drafting an ordinance to amend same. Keep in mind that the other Business and Industrial District regulations are structured the same as the B-3. Commission Action: Will be based on your discussion.
