Commissioner VanScoy questioned if the applicant required a variance rather than an amended CUP. Community Development Director Gladhill commented the greenhouse operation required a buffer adjacent to the residential property and for this reason staff was recommending the amended CUP as it offered more flexibility. Commissioner Brauer inquired if the property should be rezoned. Community Development Director Gladhill recommended against this due to the fact it would open up the site to too many other uses. Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public hearing. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, VanScoy, Andrusko, Brauer, and Maul. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Nosan. Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 7:16 p.m. Commission Business Commissioner VanScoy questioned if the Commission would support 45% building coverage, which would be equivalent to an employment district. Community Development Director Gladhill did not object to the Commission making this adjustment but stressed the importance of the buffer zone adjacent to the residential area due to the level of activity on the greenhouse site. Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Andrusko, to recommend that City Council adopt Resolution #15-09-225 approving Findings of Fact #0952. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Andrusko, Brauer, Maul, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Nosan. Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Andrusko, to recommend that City Council adopt Resolution #15-09-226 relating to Green Valley Greenhouse's request for an amended conditional use permit to expand their greenhouse operation and reduce the buffer yard requirement along the eastern boundary of the Subject Property contingent upon submittal of a Certificate of Survey to demonstrate that all existing and proposed buildings will comply with the terms of the amended Conditional Use Permit, allowing 45% building coverage, requiring the site to be surveyed and that a 50 foot setback buffer to remain in place on all four sides of the property.
