Planning Manager Larson replied that it could be limited by size, such as no larger than 40,000 <br />square feet. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy agreed that size could be a good way to control that. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked how the proposed new dome would fit and whether that would be <br />considered commercial indoor recreation. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that would fit within that use. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if that dome parcel would then need to be rezoned. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that parcel was rezoned to E-3 to accommodate that use and <br />other potential future uses. He noted that the dome is in excess of 100,000 square feet. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that there should perhaps be more thought put into what would be <br />considered commercial indoor recreation. <br />Commissioner Bauer stated that if the goal is to draw people into the COR, commercial indoor <br />recreation would do that and could lead to people visiting other businesses while they are there. <br />He agreed that there would need to be more work put into what would or would not be allowed. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if a community center, such as a YMCA, would fit into that <br />category of commercial indoor recreation. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that fitness center has its own category, and a YMCA would fall <br />into that category. <br />Acting Chairperson Gengler stated that she would be interested in seeing the different sizes of <br />indoor recreation spaces in other communities in order to find the appropriate size threshold. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff commented that he generically feels protected in the COR as the <br />architectural guidelines would need to be met and could price out some of those things from the <br />downtown area. He stated that an indoor trampoline park could fit, size wise, but was unsure they <br />would want to meet the architectural guidelines. He believed that some other uses would fit great. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that staff could look into the sizes of different indoor <br />recreation uses. <br />Commissioner Peters noted that gas stations are included but asked if charging stations on <br />properties are allowed. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that one or two charging stations would be fine and that falls <br />under the parking regulations. He noted that could be addressed on a city-wide scale. <br />Planning Commission/ February 23, 2023 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
