to operate in this location. He explained that the church thought that they may outgrow the existing location but that does not seem to be the case. Chair Bauer stated that if the church is planning to stay in this location perhaps there would be a better choice than granting an Interim Use Permit yet again. City Planner McGuire Brigl replied that an Interim Use Permit has a time limit but noted that staff would be open to tying that limit to something else other than the ten years. She explained that the permit could be linked to an event in time, but the permit could not be indefinite. Chair Bauer asked if this property would be impacted by the possible Highway 10 improvements in the future. Community Development Director Gladhill noted that this parcel could be a possible partial acquisition and noted that in the future there would be additional discussions on appropriate uses for the parcel. He stated that there is potential for this to be a permitted or conditional use in the future but noted that those discussions will occur in the future and that is why staff recommended a ten-year period on this permit. Commissioner VanScoy asked if there would be partial acquisition in the future or whether that is simply a possibility. Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the full scope of acquisitions is not yet known, as planning has begun on a high level. He stated that the City hopes to delve further into design and engineering in 2020, where some of those questions will be answered. He stated that staff is confident that the building would remain and explained that the question would be how close the frontage road would get to the parking. Commissioner Anderson asked if it would be more appropriate for a five-year permit rather than a ten year because of the questions that remain. Community Development Director Gladhill replied that if acquisition is needed for the highway project, there would be a process to follow and therefore staff believes that there are adequate tools if needed and ten years would be appropriate tonight. Commissioner Woestehoff asked if changes are made to the zoning in the ten-year period, would something then need to be done with the Interim Use Permit. Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the zoning change would supersede the Interim Use Permit. Mr. Reed explained the reason for the Interim Use Permit is because the property is zoned commercial. He stated that there are a lot of questions from the buildings along Highway 10 related to the future improvement project. He stated that he has been told similar to the comments of staff about the potential impacts. He asked the type of notice that would be provided about future improvements related to Highway 10.
