Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation of the <br /> Planning Commission to adopt Ordinance #19-05 with the revisions included in the draft (limit <br /> on hours of operation and outdoor speakers). The Planning Commission did take into account <br /> feedback from the community and amended their original recommendation. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked for a highlight of the restrictions and why those would be in place <br /> for this district. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill explained that because this district would be located <br /> within a residential neighborhood, there is a very short list of allowed uses to ensure that the <br /> activity is not a nuisance for the adjacent residential properties. He stated that there are a few <br /> extra layers of protection within this district, compared to others. He advised that there are also <br /> specific uses that are prohibited, as they would not be a good fit for this type of district. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich thanked staff for the diligence in listening to a multitude of residents <br /> throughout this process. She noted that she spoke with a resident today that was concerned with <br /> potential alcohol service and asked for additional input on the potential hours. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the hours would be limited to 11:00 a.m. <br /> to 9:00 p.m. for on-sale activity, which would be a location that also serves food; also, alcohol <br /> cannot be taken off site. <br /> Councilmember Shryock noted that a use that serves alcohol would be a conditional use, which <br /> would mean that the request would come back before the Planning Commission and City <br /> Council and would include a public comment process. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked and received confirmation that a business would still need to <br /> obtain a liquor license. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that a public hearing would be required <br /> for that type of land use within this district. He noted that a liquor license also requires a public <br /> hearing and other elements, such as background check; therefore, this type of activity would be <br /> subject to two public hearing processes. <br /> Jaqueline Abendroth, 15810 Sodium Street NW, stated that she does not believe a use that serves <br /> alcohol would be appropriate next to a daycare facility. She noted that she would also like <br /> assurance that the property values in that area would remain intact and would not be negatively <br /> impacted by this change in zoning. She did not believe alcohol should be served nearby a <br /> residential area. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that she shares like concerns with on-sale liquor but wanted to <br /> make sure that it is understood that this is a Citywide zoning tool. She explained that if there <br /> were a proposed use of this type, that would require a public hearing and residents could then <br /> express their concern. She stated that as they move into the next case, there are no changes <br /> proposed that would open up that type of use. She stated that this rezoning will allow the <br /> City Council/March 12,2019 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br />
