Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer and Beahen. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberPeterson. Case #4: Request for an Interim Use Permit for a Temporary Structure; Case of Johnson Holdings, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that earlier this summer, Johnson Holdings, Inc. received site plan approval to construct and operate a bank on the former public works site. Johnson Holdings has submitted an application for an interim use permit to utilize a 14' x 60' modular office structure at 14150 St. Francis Boulevard NW. The temporary structure would be used by the bank to conduct business while the permanent structure is under construction. Ms. Frolik explained that the City has previously granted permits for temporary office structures in the commercial and industrial areas for limited periods of time to accommodate the particular needs of the business. The Planning Commission and City staff are recommending approval of the interim use permit. She noted that Kevin Johnson was present to answer any questions and that a findings of fact is included in the agenda for Council review. Councilmember Beyer noted number 8 in the findings of fact and inquired when the City has granted a similar request when there was not a current business on the property. Ms. Frolik responded that the City has issued nine conditional use permits in the last 10 years but all were augmenting permanent current structures there except for The Links; that temporary structure was for the manager to live in while the construction was taking place. Councilmember Beyer suggested that number 8 in the findings of fact is not correct, this is actually a different situation. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to delete 4/8 which reads: "That the City has granted similar permits in the past". Motion carried: Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer and Beahen. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberPeterson. Councilmember Beyer called attention to the date of August 12 as the deadline to construct and operate a bank. Ms. Frolik responded that she is not familiar with the exhibit Councilmember Beyer is referring to. City Administrator Schroeder replied that he also does not know the answer to that. Councilmember Zimmerman noted findings #14 which states that the proposed temporary structure will be adequately served by essential public facilities and services, and asked if that is tree. Ms. Frolik replied that this is what the Planning Commission recommended and determined to be fact. Councilmember Beyer asked why the bank would go through all this digging, etc. for a temporary structure, they should just go with the permanent. Mayor Hardin commented that it's a business decision. Councilmember Beyer suggested that the City has control of public utilities. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired about restroom facilities. City Council/August 27, 1996 Page 9 of 17
