04:104.1 Approval of Minutes January 8th, 2025 Regular Meeting
04:145.1 PUBLIC HEARING: Planning Case #25-102 | True Blue – Clean Freak | Variance Planning Application This request is for a variance for the construction of three 12-foot free-standing signs located at 8555 Edinburgh Centre Dr N. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request for a variance for three free-standing signs subject to the conditions as written in the draft resolution. Presented by: Cara Donovan, Senior Planner
05:005.2 PUBLIC HEARING: Planning Case #25-101 | JC Riders | Conditional Use Permit Planning Application JC Riders Motorcycle Club is a non-profit organization applying for a conditional use permit (CUP) to operate as a social club and a banquet hall for private events at 8432 Xerxes Ave N. While the application refers to the use of banquet hall, the full name of banquet hall used in the zoning code is "banquet, convention hall or conference center." Information about the organization can be found in the attached Applicant Submittal. This application is to bring the subject property into compliance, as there has never been a Conditional Use Permit issued to this site for the operation of either a social club or a banquet hall. The application before the Planning Commission is only for a CUP at this location. An application for and approval of a liquor license is a separate process that is not being considered with this application. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a social club and a banquet hall for private events 8432 Xerxes Ave N, subject to the conditions contained in the draft Resolution. Presented by: Matt Hayes-Regan, Associate Planner
13:305.3 PUBLIC HEARING: Planning Case #24-102 | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Zoning Code Update The City Council adopted Ordinance 2024-1304 on second reading at the July 29, 2024 Regular Meeting, which replaced the Zoning Code in its entirety. Over the last 6 months staff has been keeping track of inconsistencies and omissions from the previous code. This amendment is intended to fix these technical issues, as well as address an omission from the 610 Corridor Study in which an expectation for higher density development was established by City Council. The 610 Corridor Study resulted in the establishment of a minimum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the Mixed Use District (MU) of 0.75. A more in depth explanation can be found below the table indicating the text changes to the Zoning Code. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval the amendments as presented Presented by: Erin McDermott, Senior Planner
