COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />7.01: Zoning Code Update — Business Districts <br />Presentation <br />Planning Manager Larson presented the Staff Report and asked for feedback from the <br />Commission. <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Bauer referenced two different uses with a slash between on page two and asked if <br />the intention would be for the group to decide whether that is permitted or conditional. <br />Planning Manager Larson provided additional explanation, using the example of a small gym <br />which would be permitted and a larger gym which would have additional considerations and <br />therefore would be conditional. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated that he finds the table useful but found the language related to <br />funeral homes or fitness center to be confusing. He asked if it would make more sense to separate <br />the smaller and larger uses, such as fitness center under a certain size and fitness center over a <br />certain size. <br />Chairperson Bauer agreed that would make sense as they would have different requirements. <br />Planning Manager Larson stated that they attempted to keep the standards out of the table and <br />provide that in a different area. He noted that staff could separate those two items as mentioned <br />(fitness center, funeral home/crematorium). <br />Commissioner Peters commented that ACE has a recycling center and asked where that would fit. <br />Planning Manager Larson stated that staff did discuss that business and did not find a good <br />category for it. He noted that all users/uses do not need to be accommodated for. He stated that <br />they would become nonconforming and could continue to exist. He stated that if that type of <br />facility is desired, they could add a line item or define it under another category. <br />Commissioner Peters commented that he would see that business as a collection and distribution <br />facility. He asked and received confirmation that the City would not allow another landfill. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked the difference between an indoor recreation center and fitness <br />center. <br />Planning Commission/ January 26, 2023 <br />Page 8 of 16 <br />
