Planning Manager Larson replied that staff could not recall any incidents. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated that if retail were to go into I-2, the parking lot could go to the <br />setback. He stated that perhaps using an impervious surface maximum of 75 percent or so. <br />Commissioner Gengler stated that she would support the idea of a maximum for lot coverage but <br />would not want to create a situation that could not be met. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that staff can provide suggestion that would range between <br />75 and 85 percent. He moved to the topic of accessory structures and asked for input. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated that he would support that allowance if the maximum building <br />footprint included all buildings. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that would be the intention. He stated that if the building <br />were already at the maximum footprint allowed, the business would not be eligible for an accessory <br />structure. He provided more details on the topic of parking and asked for input from the <br />Commission. <br />Chairperson Bauer asked for details on parking, using the example of Coborn's and the different <br />businesses. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that is a great example of where shared parking signs are <br />not helpful. He stated that in that case, the employees should be parking in further locations that <br />are not often used to make parking more convenient for customers. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if vehicles that do not belong could be towed, using the example <br />of a warehouse. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that it is private property and therefore unauthorized vehicles <br />could be towed, but generally that is posted by sign. <br />Chairperson Bauer provided an example where overflow parking from a church occurred in an <br />area for an adjacent business and those vehicles were towed. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that Mr. Kuker mentioned a concern with spillover from the <br />dome could occur into his industrial properties and noted that is a situation where towing could <br />occur. He stated that the language being discussed in this code would be shared parking similar <br />to Coborn's where vehicles could not be towed in that same manner. <br />Planning Manager Larson continued to review information related to parking. <br />Commissioner Peters asked if there is a requirement for parking lot maintenance. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that is addressed under the property maintenance code. <br />Planning Commission/ January 26, 2023 <br />Page 11 of 16 <br />
