Will everyone please stand and repeat the pledge of alle allegiance with me? I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you.
Um, do we have a motion to approve tonight's agenda? I'll make a motion to approve tonight's agenda. Second. I have a motion by Commissioner Reading, a second by Commissioner Butler. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? That passes. Um, do I have a motion to approve the staff reports for tonight? I move to approve the staff reports. I'll second it. Sorry. I have a motion by Commissioner Nilson, a second by Commissioner Patton. All those in favor say I. Any opposed? That goes ahead again. Are there any declarations or conflicts of interest for tonight's hearings?
I have a conflict with item number one. Okay, thank you for that. Are there any others? All right, we will hear item number one. Um, Commissioner Nelson will re let you recuse from the stand. Turn the time over to Jacob Hawkins to hear this. All righty.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good evening, Mr. Chairman and members of the commission. I'm Jacob Hawkins from the planning department. So, the first item that we have today is for a preschool at 1172 West 880 North. Uh this is the location for that. Uh if I zoom out just a little bit, you can see here's where 1300 West is over here and it's just north of Mount Mahogany uh elementary school over here. Um, so there is already a school service nearby, Mount Mahogany. Um, but the applicant is requesting to operate a preschool from their home because there's been an increase in demand for preschools. So for tonight's presentation, what I'll do is I'll explain the requirement for preschools as a major home occupation and then explain a little bit about what the applicant's request is. Uh so the first requirement for a preschool as a major home occupation is that the home occupation shall not exceed 25% of the total floor area of the home. And so here is what the applicant has uh provided. Uh so here in the basement they have the great room, they have a bedroom over here, they have a bathroom over here, and that's about all the space that they will be using inside the home. Um, and then while they're on the property, whenever they need exercise, they will use uh the backyard and the sideyards uh for any exercise or activities that they end up doing. Um, now the preschool will have up to three sessions per day from Monday through Friday. Early morning classes will be between 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Late morning classes will be from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and afternoon classes will be between 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Now, the next requirement is that the permitted number of children, which can be less than 13 children, including the provider's own children, and that the provider must live in the home where the
services are being provided. Now, I've had the opportunity to to discuss this requirement with the applicant, and the applicant who lives on the property is requesting up to or is requesting up to 12 children for the preschool. And the age range for the preschool children will be between ages three and five. And when it comes to employees, the requirements for major home occupations uh is that one non-resident employee may be allowed on the premises between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. subject to the condition that not more than one non-resident employee is permitted for homes with lots under 12,000 square feet and that on street parking is not permitted. So, the applicant does intend to have one non-resident employee assist at the preschool and then uh she also wants to have a few trusted substitute individuals uh to be called upon if an emergency occurs. All teachers and residents of the home will complete a background check and will be licensed. And the last main requirement is for parking which may range up to eight per hour under major home occupation uh provided that sufficient off- streetet parking is provided and the use does not adversely affect the neighborhood. Now the applicant does have a large paved driveway right here on the south side of the home that can accommodate up to five vehicles at a time. That being said, staff finds that the proposed preschool business would be in compliance with all of the minimum requirements for a daycare um or preschool and recommends approval to the planning commission with any conditions that the uh conditions that the commission finds necessary. Uh and then with all that being said, before I turn the time back over to the commission, staff did receive a letter of concern from a neighbor which was passed out to the commissioners before the meeting. uh and if you want you may read from or reference the letter but I just wanted to address to the public that that letter has been provided. Um and there could also be some discussion on this front to meet the intentions of home
occupations which is to permit home occupations as long as they are conducted in a way so that neighbors under normal conditions would not be aware of its existence. So for example, uh maybe analyzing the pickup and drop off times uh whenever parents come to pick up their kids. Uh and then other conditions as recommended by staff include no on street parking is permitted as part of the home occupation. One non-resident employee is permitted for the duration of the home occupation and all necessary licenses are obtained and maintained for all employees. All conditions for home occupations are met subject to sections 10214 and 1015uh 27 of the zoning ordinances uh except that activities may be held in the side and rear yards so long as uh as the place for exercise and activities is fenced in and then all final planning engineering and fire department requirements are met and then any other conditions that you guys deem necessary and I can take any questions.
Are there any questions for Jacob? Just really quick, um, on the parking issue, this is, uh, reminiscent of another of a dance studio that we approved on 1100 North. And they have designated parking spaces. And so I I passed by that house and I can see on the garage, you know, on the ground, one, two, three. Yeah. They they have designated parking spaces uh, for that. Would this be a requirement in this condition?
That could be a condition. Yeah. Just to make sure that there is, you know, a certain amount of parking spaces in the driveway. Um, however, this one is not on as busy of a road because 1100 North is a uh uh it's a heavier street. Yeah, it's a it's a very heavy street, right? Whereas this one is a little bit more local. So, um, if you guys think that that's necessary, then by all means, we can make that a condition, but otherwise, I think what they have should probably suffice. I was just curious what staff's thoughts were on that. Yeah, just as long as there's no on street parking for the home occupation, I think we should be okay.
So, I have a question, Jacob. So, they are supposed to be picking up their kids. So, they're going to pull into the driveway, pick up their kids, and then pull back out while other people are coming in. No on street parking, so they're going to have to be going in and backing out with preschoolers going in and out. Great question. That's scary to me. They're going to have to stage on the street and pull in a few at a time, then they will back out.
Sure. It also depends on how many people are going to come and pick up their kids all at one time. Um, if they have up to 12 students there, um, I would expect that, you know, probably three or four people might come and pick up their kids, uh, you know, in like a kind of a bunch, but I don't think that all 12 would show up at the exact same time. That could be a possibility. And if that is an actual concern, maybe we could remove the uh requirement for uh for um uh off streetet parking uh as that uh home occupation or as part of that condition, you know, um because ultimately safety is the most important thing here, you know. So, whatever you guys feel is important. Um it's the off- streetet parking is recommended by staff though um in sense of uh not disrupting any neighbors you know because if there is on street parking um people would probably park say in front of this house you know for example and like kind of start a queue uh or like kind of up and down over here or maybe even across the street and especially if parents park across the street that could lead to a dangerous situation more so than backing into
like preschoolers, they're going to see their mom's cars and start running out there and that scares me to death. And so that's why staff is uh recommending that no off- streetet parking be sorry, no on street parking be permitted. Um because then that way all the students will run to their car in the driveway. Any other questions for Jacob? Thank you. Thank you. This is a public hearing and we would open up for the applicant. If you'd like to come up, please state your name for the record.
Joanna Giles. So, um, with my preschool, um, do you guys have any questions for me or would you like me to I just have one. Are you gonna line all the preschoolers up and let them run out to their parents' cars?
No. I have been a teacher for 31 years. I have dealt with this many times and I've worked with special needs preschoolers um, for a very long time. We have kids that run all over the place going to buses and everything else and in the middle of um you know pickup at school and everything. Um, I have a a a nice big porch area that is enclosed for the most part with that. And I actually have thought multiple times about how can I keep everybody safe um without having a lot of parking and as parents are picking up and everything and having them on the porch there would be two of us on, you know, me and my daughter who is the other person that is a special ed teacher as well. Um that would be t um we've dealt with this many times, but we would also um keep the kids there and have them go out one at a time either with them picking up their kids in the driveway, waiting across the street. And then um there is across the street there is the side of houses and a big area that maybe parents can just kind of stop their car right there and take some turns in to get their kids into the driveway or anything. But we would walk them out to their cars or have their parents stop in the driveway and then walk them to their cars, too. Yeah, I've thought about the safety plan. I want to keep them safe.
Jacob, do we have a street view of this? Yeah. So, right across the street um to the Sorry, my directions when I Right there. Yeah, those that's the side of houses right there. Um I've spoken with the neighbors there with that in front. The two neighbors to the um west of me as well. Directly Yeah. right there and they had no problems with the way that I felt like that would impact them the most out of all of the neighbors. So, a question. I wasn't here last time. Sorry. How many students are you anticipating in each two-hour block?
So, they from what the city said is up to 12 per block. Per block. Uh um my hour block, I would only want about 10 kids because I would want my um like three-year-olds, like young three-year-old kids to be in that session. Um and then about 12 kids in the other sessions up to 12. Yeah. Okay.
Are you okay with the uh requirement to have parking on your driveway or in your driveway versus the road? Is that okay? Is that something you feel like is doable? And yeah, I do like that they can park there and then if they need to wait for just a few minutes, if the conditional use could be that they have to wait in their car and not park across the street, just wait there until they can park into the driveway. I think with parents picking up, even if they have to pick up a minute or two early, we could stagger. If you could pick up between, you know, 10 minutes early and, you know, 10 minutes and then another 10 minutes, I can try to stagger that as much as possible. Okay. I'm looking at the Google Maps and It doesn't show fencing and stuff.
The fence is actually almost done. They should be finishing it. The the posts are in. The fence is um supposed to be there hopefully tomorrow or Monday. So yeah, because because the um one illustration that Dan that Jacob showed showed a fence, but it's not. Yeah. So in that um illustration it was that it was coming. So yeah, right there. Okay. Any other questions for Joanna Giles? Thank you.
This is a public hearing. We will open up to the public. If there's anyone like to come up and make comment, if you do, please state your name for the record. Not seeing a rush to the podium. We'll close the public record and uh I will address the letter that we we received. It's from a neighbor um his concerns are or this individual I assume I don't know if it's a man male or female but uh direct safety risk to the neighborhood children is one thing that he addresses with the uh with the traffic that there is a school close to help cover some of those students. Um we do know that that is changing with the the new school zone. uh traffic congestion infrastructure is another point that he signs that with uh the amount of traffic and has potential for congestion. The residential character of the neighborhood, he doesn't want to feel like a business, he wants to keep it as a residential neighborhood. And uh enforcing, he says with staggered drop off times, uh they're nearly impossible and for the city to modern enforce daily. Um, so it it he says it would be a burden on the neighbor. So I want that out as public record as a comment that the public would have. And at this time we will close the public hearing, bring it back up to the commissioners for debate, discussions, andor motions. Is there anything you'd like to discuss? Are there any additional uh conditions that we want to add? That's what be the discussion that we
the drop pickup and drop off has must be in the driveway or that it you know is that going to cause additional on the road. I I don't know what's better to have the queue and then pull in one at a time or pick up right in front of the house one at a time, have the cars queue on the road. I I don't know what the better solution is.
Well, staff sees there's, you know, for safety concerns, it's good to have them be picked up in their in the driveway. um and they have experience uh with special needs and and so they they have the acumen to be able to address those issues in a in a professional manner that's completely trusted. We can't legislate. It's very hard to legislate what actions the public takes. So, we could say that, you know, they're only supposed to be on this side of the road. Um I know that she's talked to her neighbors on the south side of the road and that's and in my mind the south side of the road that's more dangerous but you know if people line up there they line up there
you know that was a concern that that he had is you know with that just well and the neighbors to the like well so these these right here so if they're lining up right there where instead of down here anyway his his main thing was enforcement and I don't know how you can really If it gets to be birds upon the neighbors, then they can call out code enforcement at the time and that's the way that would have to be managed.
That's exactly right. Um the only like with the uh I know Mount Mahogany starts their school at 8 and so she's starting her uh preschool at 9. It doesn't impact the morning uh kids at all. Um the three that would impact kids get leaving school um and just the access points. I'm just looking at the access points to Mount Mahogany. It goes on the back side at 1010 West or 1300 West. So, yeah, Mount Mahogany has very very clear drop off pickup.
There's there's not going to be any impact of traffic from Mount Mahogany either because you got you have two fields. You have two private fields that the kids would have to walk through or private houses that they would need to walk through. Yeah. So, I can understand, you know, the neighborhood children, but it's only going to be in the afternoon for the last grouping. I don't know. So, that's just my thoughts. Okay. Any other discussions?
We'll make a motion. I make Yes. Yeah. Yeah. We I we we tried to talk directly to that like the infrastructure capacity and traffic um safety to neighborhood children. So in the morning time that wouldn't be an issue in the afternoon. Yeah. Um and then just the enforcement just neighbors if they need to address that then if it becomes an issue.
Okay. Go ahead. Um, I move the planning commission approve the request of Joanne Guiles for the conditional use permit to allow a daycare as a major home occupation located at 1172 West 880 North in the R1-8 single family residential zone and adopting the exhibits conditions and findings of the staff report and as modified by the conditions below. Number one, no on street parking is permitted as a part of the home occup occupation. Two, one non-resident employee is permitted for the duration of the home occupation and all necessary licenses are obtained and maintained for all employees. Three, all conditions for home occupations are met subject to sections 10-21-4 and 10-15-27 except that activities may be held in the side and rear yard so long as as the place for exercise and activities is fenced in and for all final planning, engineering, and fire department requirements are met.
I'll second it. We have a motion by Commissioner Reading, a second by Commissioner Patton. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? That motion carries. We'll go on to the second item, which is a public hearing for conditional use permit located at 998 South 940 West Sam Whites Lane for request of Jason Bueno for conditional use permit. Jacob Hawkins.
Thank you. Thank you. All right, let me come over here. All right, so the second item for tonight is a request for a conditional use permit for a music studio. Now, the applicant is Jaden Bueno for the Mountaintop Music Institute located at 988 South 490 West. Now, this is a bit of a tricky address because this property right here, which is the subject property, has two buildings on it, and each building has its own address. So, the building that we'll be talking about tonight is going to be the southern one. So, this property is in the manufacturing distribution zone all the way down here. And here's Lynen, by the way. Uh, so it just borders Lynen boundaries. Um but yeah, right here in the manufacturing distribution zone and there are only a couple other businesses at this location right now. Um so this southern building has eight different units. Units one and two, which are like right here and right here, are vacant and they are available for rent. Unit three is where Mountaintop Music Institute is located. Units four and five are going to be used for light manufacturing uh for a light manufacturing business once they get things up and running. And then units six, seven, and eight uh appear to only be used for storage at this time. And then this other building up here is used entirely for a distribution business uh and ultimately does not require a lot of parking spaces, but we'll be talking about that in a bit. Now, the proposed music studio uh will be intended for students between 12 and 18 years of age who are looking to further their musical career. The music studio will be held year round with two different schedules to accommodate the school year uh and off school year. Uh and then each
schedule will have three or four separate classes with one instructor per class. So during the school year, classes will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Uh so the first class will start at 3:30, second class will start at 5:30, and then the third class will start at 7:30. And then outside of the school year, classes will start at 1:30, then 3:30, 5:30, 9:30. Um or not, sorry, not 9:30, 7:30 to 9:30 is what I mean to say. Um so there will be a range of between 10 to 15 students for smaller classes and 20 to 25 students for larger classes. Um with a parking ratio of two parking spaces for every three students plus one space for each instructor. Uh the maximum number of required parking spaces would be 18 parking spaces assuming that they have 25 students and one instructor. Uh now at this particular location there are 12 parking spaces in front of this building right here and then there's an additional 18 uh just in front of this building right here. So there's a total of 30 parking spaces on the property. Um, and it appears that there is enough room based on the current uses that are in that are on this property uh for this business to utilize all 18 parking spaces if necessary. Um, however, if we require all 18 parking spaces for this proposed use, it may impede the amount of available parking for future tenants. Uh so because of the age range of the students uh several students may be dropped off and picked up instead of needing to have a dedicated uh parking space. Uh however, I do believe that the parking ratio of two spaces for every three students accounts for some of that. Um and I think that's where most
of the discussion can be for tonight's uh for for this conditional use permit. Beyond that, uh, rehearsals will be held occasionally during evenings and weekends, starting as early as 7 or 7:30 p.m. Uh, this is intended to be after regular business hours, so there should be additional parking for patrons to come and view performances. Um, by approving U6830 for the subject property, the proposed use will not be necess will not necessarily be limited to musical instruction only. uh because U6830 includes several subcategories ranging from training and schooling that solely takes place indoors and does not affect any surrounding businesses like such as language schools uh or to uses that involve physical activity or noise such as music or dancing schools. Um and then there's even some training that takes place outside of the classroom such as driving schools. So all of these kind of uses can be put underneath this general category of use 6830 special training and schooling. So that's what we that's what we're looking at tonight. Um all other surrounding properties are commercial and manufacturing in nature and would not be uh affected by the proposed use um except through you know just the normal music lessons that will happen and all the noise would happen during the daytime. Um and so staff recommends approval of the proposed use with no conditions beyond what is already required by the ordinances uh such as noise and parking requirements. Although if the planning commission feels it to be important to limit the number of students or parking spaces, we can discuss that a little bit more and add that into the conditions for uh for this item. But with that being said, I can take any questions and we can go from there. Would this conditional use
permit um expire if these tendants moved out of the building? No. The conditional use permits they remain with the property. With the property is is there my pointer does not work. Okay. Yeah. Is there street parking right here that they could use also? Um people park there. It's it's can be considered as part of the parking just not on premise. Yeah, it's the equation. It it's street parking. So that's not something that we would count, right? But there's not it's not no parking zone.
It's not a no parking zone. No. Um but yeah,
any other questions for Jacob at this time? So, just curious. 12 parking spots on this side. 12 on that side. Yeah. And let me see if I can run down over here. Zoom in, please.
That's uh the name of one of the surrounding businesses. Indeed. So, yeah. to Denise, you can uh see uh or I guess Commissioner Trickler, I apologize. Uh there is parking on the street down here for sure. Uh but then what they do over here, the reason why there's only 12 um parking spaces over here is where each of these bay doors are, there's a no parking sign and kind of like a slightly larger spot for people to pull their vehicles into those bay doors. Yeah, like that. car could pull right in because it's parked in a no parking zone. Right. Yeah. Um Okay. And so that's why there's 18 on that side.
That's why there's 18 on this side, but only 12 on that side. And it's in this. Is it this one? It's that one right there. Yep. Number three. All right. Um just out of curiosity, will there be ADA required parking stalls? There are ADA required or there are ADA spots in there. Okay. I should see them. Yeah, they're in the back. Okay. I believe there is one on this side and I think two on this side. That's all would be required. Yeah, that's fine.
Any other questions for Jacob? Okay, Mr. Thank you. Thank you. This is a public hearing. We'd like to if the applicants here, we'd like to invite you to come up to the podium. Please state your name as this is a public meeting.
Hello. Yes, I'm Jaden Bueno, uh owner and uh producer of the Mountaintop Music Institute. Yeah, we get kids from all over the place. We have kids coming from Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Eagle Mountain, Maple Mountain, even as far as Cameas and Leighton as well. So, we get kids from all over the place and we stick them in bands. We rehearse for a couple hour hours a week and then we give those kids a chance to go out and perform out in public at places like the Tulip Festival, the Freedom Festival in Provo, uh the CVY Center in Provo, and a host of other places. And so this space is a upgrade for us to continue to grow as a business and continue to get more kids involved uh from this community, from other communities and uh giving them additional opportunities to perform music, get experience instruction, and to work with professionals in the area as well. So that's what we do and uh we're excited to be here in Pleasant Grove.
Okay. What kind of bands we have? We're going to be starting up country. We have rock, pop, jazz, funk, sca, R&B, you name it. Any any kind of contemporary stuff? We got Is it going to be singing too or just? Yep. Vocals, instrumental, all of it. Yep.
So, the other question I have is if your neighbors are manufacturing and they've got some manufacturing going there, there's competing noises. Would that affect you or do you think you would affect them? We've uh actually spoke with um the neighbor who does the manufacturing and he's totally fine with whatever is going on. And I've I've heard his stuff. It's going to be totally fine. We're not worried about it. And like was mentioned, a lot of the stuff that we do will be after business hours, so it's not going to affect everybody as much. And we've put up soundproofing uh panels and whatnot in our space to help deaden. That was the question is what kind of soundproofing you've done. Yeah.
Yep. Lots. Hey, is is parking a concern? No. Like like we said, uh it's going to be a lot of after hours when a lot of the other businesses have pulled out for the day and uh if there is any concern, we have street parking, but a lot of kids get dropped off. A lot of kids carpool if they live in the same area. So, there's not really a concern about parking if we're going to max out, especially when uh our performances are going to be in the evenings. Um 7 7:30 everybody's going to be gone. So, plenty of space on the street in the lot and in the other law I'm sure would be fine as well if if really really needed. So are you going to do performances there in the evenings also?
Yep. Performances are more like a recital for family. Performances where it's like kind of we're going to treat it like a venue. We want these kids to feel like they're rock stars, feeling like they're on a stage and getting the full experience. And so there will be instances where maybe there's a piano recital or something on a weekend when there's no business hour when uh it's not typical business hours and whatnot, but for the evening performances during the week primarily uh that venue rockstar type setting.
What is your experience so far? Because you've you've done it for a time. What is do you have numbers that you can share share that uh of people who carpool versus being dropped off versus parking? I have a rough rough guess. I would say there's depending it depends on the group, but a lot of kids come from one area all carpool together. You know, you have three or four. That's one spot. Or, you know, in the handful of groups, there's younger kids who aren't able to drive yet, so they can't even park anyway, especially groups that um uh where they're comprised of everybody who's don't have driver's permits. There's almost no need for parking.
Just as a rough guess, probably a third drive and two/3s are dropped off or carpool or or what's your ratio? That's what we're asking. Half half and half. Okay. So, how so typically how in one block or one session, how many students do you have or how many? Yeah, it depends on the group. Uh the biggest largest would be about 25 max.
So, for a jazz full jazz big band. Uh and so, and sometimes kids can't be there for different commitments and whatnot. So sometimes we don't even have the full amount of kids who can be there because of uh things like school, other like activities that they're involved in like sports and whatnot. So sometimes we get there, sometimes not. And when not it's in that's then we're good. It sounds like from your experience you can use up to the full 18 stalls. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Are there other questions for Mr. Bueno? Okay. Yeah.
For those big bands when you think you're going to have the most or need the most parking, do you tend to do those later? Because you have the 3:30 session, the 5:30 session, and the 7:30 session. If you need 18 parking spaces, could you make it so that those classes were like the last session to accommodate? We uh with we try and keep it as flexible as possible just depending on the group. It's something we could look into, but primarily want to have um some of those groups are going to be starting at 3:30. And so we could if there becomes a problem and tenants need to ask for more parking, then we're happy to put in put some guidelines in place for the musicians where it can ask them to carpool and things like that. So open to doing something like that for sure. Okay. And do you play all the instruments yourself, too?
Working on it, most of them, but yeah. You're the producer then? I am. Yep. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. This is a public hearing. If there's any members of the public that like to come up, I'm seeing a shake of the head. No. We will close the public hearing and bring it back up to the commissioners for discussions and or motions. Mr. Rock, you have something else you'd like to add?
Um, yeah, I just wanted to um mention another uh topic for discussion, I suppose. Uh just regarding the performances and also parking again. Um so for performances, uh maybe there could be a um condition where um the performances to be at night like you know like after hours or during weekends. That way we can ensure that no surrounding businesses are affected by the mass amount of parking um for any of those. Um and then also again on terms of parking just to uh emphasize uh that our current or our zoning ordinances currently require um the two parking spaces for every three students plus one uh extra parking space for instructors. um that's what's in the zoning ordinances. And so if we are going to approve something like this, that's more than likely what the parking requirements would be. And so if we want to do uh if we want to allow up to 25 students uh and require the full 18 parking spaces, um that would be fine, but uh there is only 12 parking spaces in front of this building. Um, and so effectively requiring 18 parking spaces would take up all of that and then some in front of the other building, which may not have been the intended uh layout of whenever this property had gone through its whole site plan and everything. Uh, so it's just something to consider and maybe there could be a shared parking agreement or a joint parking agreement or something like that, but that's just something else that I just wanted to emphasize and uh um add to the discussion as well. Thank you. So we could limit it saying that uh performances are restricted to after business hours, weekends only and that
the max uh parking on site during business hours is limited to 10 or 12 stalls uh on the conditions and that would that would put restrictions a little bit but still allow him to do his business and flexibility. If that sounds like it that it will cover the base.
Yeah. Yeah. Just automatically naturally restriction. Yeah. Because if you limit cars, you're going to limit the size of the band at a time and those might have to shift towards the or it will be encouraged to carpool. Yeah. And drop off and and or carp will drop off. That way you can still have the larger band but there's only this many parking stalls during the business hours. Yep. How many other businesses are on on that side? On this side? Yes. So there was the two, right, Jacob? That that's correct. So there are two units that are available for rent right now. So it's empty and then the Mountaintop Music Institute
and then the next two are owned by one manufacturing business. uh and they have yet to get their business license, but they'll be doing that shortly whenever they get things all set up and ready to go. So, there's five open spaces there. And then there are three additional units that look like they are currently only being used for storage, but that could change. And then across the parking lot, that is just a distribution now. So, that's mainly just a warehouse with like six or seven employees effectively. Yeah. And some office space as well. Okay. Well, yeah, for the distribution there's going to be a little bit of losses.
Okay, any other questions? Any discussions? Well, good thing is that the south end of the city, you know, we could put them in that one. I'm joking. Okay, I'm open for a motion. have any concerns.
Yeah. But do we want to add those conditions or just leave it as is? I will put those two. Yeah. Or you can read my writing,
maybe. Okay. I move the planning commission approve the request of Jaden Bueno for a conditional use permit to allow use number 6830 special training and schooling on a property in the manufacturing distribution zone located at 988 South 490 West and adopting the exhibits conditions and findings of the staff report and is modified by the conditions below. All final planning engineering and fire department requires requirements are met. Also, number two, performing restrictions to be after business hours or weekends. Number three, have a 25 student max on site business hours.

Okay. Thank you for everybody for being here. Um, I would like to uh review the minutes from the previous meetings. You want to approve those minutes?

I have a motion by Commissioner Trickler, second by Commissioner Nilson to approve the minutes from our last meeting. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Okay, that passes. Um, take a motion. Motion to adjurnn. Can I get a couple minutes, chair? Yes. Never mind. Before we adjourn, we'll turn time over to Director Cardinius. You guys are free to go whenever you'd like to go.
I apologize for the outfit. Went to my kids soccer game and I just run all the way right here. I'm I'm glad to see you guys here. Um we have um two commissioners that left uh our commission. Um Commissioner Phillips, it's no longer called Commissioner now. We call him city council. Council member Phillips and also uh Commissioner Fugle. Okay. Commissioner Fugle. Um he's now with the youth court, so he's taking another responsibility. He has already too much in on his plate. So, but both commissioners serve the city very faithfully and in an amazing way. And I want to take just couple minutes to uh during a public hearing to show um gratitude for what they've done for the city. Uh they commissioner uh Phillips now council member Phillips was part of my board of adjustments when uh when I started that was 10 years ago and then after the board of adjustments he jumped into planning commission. So he approximately I eliminated the board of adjustment was the first things I did when I started working for the city. So after he jumped so he pretty much served about nine years in the planning commission and um commissioner fuel amazing as as we all know his profession. He helped us a lot with the minutes. He always read them throughfully and and and um he was a valuable member of our planning commission as well. I remember the first time I they call him they appointed him to be a commissioner. I run into him into Walmart and he I I didn't know him very well. says, "Hey, Daniel, I'm I'm your commissioner." And that's how I that's how I knew he was going to be your planning commission. Um, as you guys know, all of you guys uh went through an interview with the mayor and then the mayor chooses or appoints uh recommends to the city council. Uh he has already done a series of interviews. So, we're going to have two new
commissioners pretty soon. I I already know their names, but we're gonna uh unveil them at the city council meeting once they get uh appointed by the by the city council. Okay. Uh but I want to use this time to just express my my gratitude. Um at the end of the day, I don't know in 10 20 years when we run to each other at Walmart, hopefully we still can say, "Hey, commissioner, how are you?" and you guys can say hi back to us and we we love the relationships that we create here because we appreciate so much what you guys do for us. Okay. Um, one more thing I want to say before I sit down and and taking much more of your time is um it has to do in regards to uh conflict of interest. So, as soon as you guys feel like you have a conflict of interest, the rule of thumb is if you guys feel like that's the case, that's it. There's there don't don't question yourself. That's that's perfect. you guys just tell us and and then um we don't you guys don't even have to tell us why you guys think there's a conflict of interest. We're not going to ask during the public hearing. Uh we we trust you guys and and um especially during a public hearing is not for us to decide whether it is a conflict of interest or not. You guys can always call me before ahead of time or during the meeting just uh excuse yourself and then we'll figure things out. Okay? But the rule of thumb is as you guys decide as you guys feel that there's something that that that may affect the applicant, then you guys let us know what you guys do when you guys declare a conflict of interest, you're protecting the applicant 100%. 100% you're protecting the applicant because in the case that we run a public hearing or we make a motion later on can affect the applicant and and create some legal problems. So, I appreciate you guys uh honesty and you guys uh trust and telling us, hey, I have a conflict of interest and that's it. You that you guys don't have to explain anything to us. Okay, having said that, thank you
very much for being here. I appreciate it. Commissioners, working with you guys is it's more than a pleasure, it's a blessing. Thank you, commissioners. Thank you. Uh will those two be presented on this upcoming city council meeting or when will they be presented? Do you know what items? the the two the the two new commissioners. Yes. Hopefully I uh I'm going to talk to the I I already talked to the mayor. I know who they are. Uh they will I tomorrow is the last day to put them in the agenda. I'll make sure that I talk to this uh recorder so we can put them on the agenda to be called this uh this uh Tuesday. Okay. I would like to be there if I know they're
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll we'll I'll I'll send you guys an email or text message to confirm. Okay. So, it's a good sign of support. They have to go through training as you all of you guys went through training. I I don't know how boring that was but I I they have to go through on the job training. Throw them in. Okay. I will now entertain a motion to adjurnn. I move to adjourn. Son.
