Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

Okay. Call this evening's meeting of the planning commission to order. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Uh, roll call, please.

Mr. Prescott, here. Mr. Wagner, here. Mrs. Chapto, here. Mr. Basic here, Mr. Dulyak here. All right. Uh, we have a motion to approve the minutes of the February 10th, 2026 meeting. Like to make a motion to approve the PC02-10-26 minutes meeting minutes.

Second. It's been moved and seconded that we approve the uh minutes of the 10 the 21026 meeting. All in favor signify by saying I. I opposed. Motion carries. Any old business? Zach? No, sir.

New business. All right. Uh first application is PC 26-3. This is for right across the street at Consigner Collection. Um, property zone C2, community commercial. Uh, that's under the new code. The previous zoning was C3 and they did apply for this under the old code. Uh, so this is still under review under those old regulations. And they just needed sign variance for to replace their existing post sign right out front. Um they just want a bigger sign so it's more visible. This would be about 20 25 uh or 26 square feet be a monument sign. Uh maximum height would be up to 5t 10 in. And the only variance that they need for this is the setback. Uh zoning code requires 10 ft. Again the old code requires 10 ft. New one is a 5ft setback. Um but old one they require three-foot variance from that uh requirement. Did want to show some comparable signs are just up the street from this that show other signs that are within that 10-ft setback. And those are just a couple examples. If you drive up 91, you'll see tons of signs that don't meet that setback where they're whether they got variances in the past or there is under old code, whatever it may be. But there's a lot that already don't meet that requirement. So happy to take any questions.

Any questions? Seems pretty straightforward. Yeah, in engineering they reviewed it. They did leave a comment to push it back a little bit uh just for sight distance allowance. So they did decrease the width of the sign by a foot and move it back a little bit further. So there there was a comment in here about the masonary base not meeting the new zoning requirement I think. Yeah. Uh what's that what's that deficiency look like if it if it was to meet the new zoning requirement? What would that requirement be?

So the new code requires the monument base to be a little bit wider than the sign itself. This one's just the same width as the sign. So they would still need a variance regardless under the new one. So, um, but if they were to require a slightly wider monument base, then that would increase the need for a, uh, you know, it decrease the distance from the right of way. Okay.

Any other questions? Anyone from the audience want to comment? Do we have any emails? No, I received one phone call and she just asked about the dimensions and everything and seemed okay once I talked to her. Thank you. All right. Can I have a motion on the uh PC 2026-003?

Make a motion to approve application PC26-3 as presented. Second. It's been moved and seconded that we approve the sign variance. Any further discussion? Roll call, please. Mr. Prescott. I Mr. Wagner. Hi. Mr. Mrs. Shrepto. Yes. Mr. Basic. Yes. Mr. Duliaak.

Yes. Motion carries. Uh on to number two.

Thank you. Uh number the second application is PC26-4. This is for uh location at 4272 Hudson Drive. The entire property is about 2.3 acres. The property owned industrial. This is a conditional use for an indoor sports training facility. Um so currently occupying the tenant which is highlighted in red on the right side. Uh it's about 5,800 square feet say basketball training facility. Uh these are conditionally permitted in the industrial district which is how they were in the old code. Uh we there was a lot of um supplemental regulations in the old one that we took out. Some of them relate to maintaining the industrial, you know, use and operation of the building. And there's a certain maximum size of the facility that you could have. So, we took some of those out. We just had a just one supplemental standard that the there would have to be a minimum separation of 500 ft uh between the facility and a use that is used for heavy industrial purposes. Uh it does meet that requirement. you know there's surrounded by there's assisted living facility to the north uh single family across the street and light manufacturing so it meets the supplemental u regulation for indoor sports training facility uh and they did start this application I think about a year ago um but they never paid the application fee so it didn't proceed uh and they were notified that they're operating so there's a notice of violation on this but they came in right away to submit the application Once this is approved, they'll need to get their certificate of occupancy from the building department. Um, they'll be good to go. But happy to take any questions. So this this facility would this facility accommodate heavy manufacturing

or is this facility I mean if somebody another tenant want to come in there and say we'd like to put in a heavy manufacturing facility would this space really I would question about the unit right adjacent to to the east side if somebody would come in and say we would want to put a heavy manufacturing facility in there if that was the case how would that affect uh if that were the case I don't think the building to accommodate a heavy manufacturer. But if that were the case, this would be an established use. It could still remain there as

any other questions. Anyone here in the audience? Okay. Okay. Fine. All right.

It's contingent on our approval. Yeah. I was just reading the review that the application will uh if approved the applicant may receive okay yeah it's just part of the process you needed that to be in the motion I guess you can add it but it's just part of the process you know this is the first step and then after this is approved they'll apply for the building permit I'll make a motion that we approve u PC 2026-4 um for the conditional use uh as presented. I'll second.

It's been moved and seconded that we approve uh PC 26 2026-4. Um any other discussion? Any comments from emails? No. Anyone from the audience care to make a comment? All right. Uh, roll call, please. Mr. Prescott, I. Mr. Wagner, I. Mrs. Trepto, yes. Mr. Basik, yes. Mr. Dulak, yes.

Motion carries. Uh, moving on to number three, Zach. All right. Uh, this is PC26-5. Uh, this property is again just up the street, uh, at 3885 Daryl Road. Um property itself is about half an acre in zone C2 community commercial. This is for another conditional use for a family care service or adult daycare. Um so this is a right now it's kind of split up into two spaces. Uh the space on the north end that's at your service roofing which went in I think just last year. Uh the space to the south is vacant so they'd be filling that in. It's about 2,800 square ft. Again, this would be for adult daycare programming. So, their focus would be um just teaching clients daily life responsibilities. Um they have about seven employees with about 20 clients that which would arrive by bus or van. And then the supplemental supplemental standards for this use uh most of them apply if they are located in a residential district. So basically uh section B, D and E, those don't apply in this case since it's a commercial use or commercial zoning. Um but A just limits the number of of clients shall not exceed 100. They're only going to have 20 here. And then section C just states that the character of the location and development must be designed to provide a residential environment for the protection of the people from traffic, noise and other hazards of the area. Um only knows that this is it's in an established office building which is directly adjacent to residential area. Um I don't I don't know if a representative of the business is here

to comment on the operations but um this is this basically all the details that they gave in their application. So I'll try to answer any questions that you guys have. So the roofing company that's moved in there a little bit ago that's still going to stay. Yes. That's just Taylor just the south. Yeah. Working. Okay. Thank you. Do they have contracts with the facilities to get their people or is it just direct to the public? Sorry, what was the last part?

Or is it just direct to the public? It's an adult daycare center and you can call in and make an I assume if they're busing people in from van I assume they're bringing them from other facilities. Okay. Not sure though. I don't have too many details on this. I was hoping the applicant would be here tonight. Is no one's here. Okay. Yeah. So, so well, this building's going to require fire suppression, right? If you're going to use it for this application.

Yeah. So, fire department, they they still reviewed um again, this is the first step in the process. They'll need to do the building permit. At that time, all the fire the fire department will review. They have to meet all those codes, all the building codes. Um, but yeah, there's I can't remember exactly what all codes they have to meet for that, but I think the suppression was one of them. So, so would the tenant then be respond because I'm sure this building is not sprinkler. Um, yeah, not likely, right? Um, because under under I think 10,000. Yeah, I don't believe it is after talking to the fire marshal. So, would they have to put a sprinkler system in? Would somebody have to do that before they can become tenants? Yes.

Okay. Wasn't it a medical office before? Yeah. So, wouldn't there wouldn't there have been a sprinkler? There used to be a realtor office at one point. I think it was, was it? Well, there were a couple there. One was one was a PE's office. Pardon? Okay. Well, so that's why they didn't do a sprinkler. You'll be fine.

You have to come up here and please state your name and your address.

Okay. And will you raise your hand and swear that what you're about to say will be the truth? Thank you. Go ahead. My question is easier or more difficult to make. Well, I'm not sure on the second question, so that's to you, Zach. Yeah. Sorry. Can we repeat the second question? Would it be more difficult or easier to our property see as well in the future.

Um should we desire to do so? Yeah, it just it' be a reasonzoning application. Um have to be reviewed by these guys and city council. Um there have to be some alignment to the comprehensive plan. Um but it's that's like a recommending document. So I I yours is probably zoned a residential property, right? Yeah. Um it's it's possible, you know, if if you want to go that route, we can talk more, you know, if you're exploring selling your property or Okay. And back to the first question, how do you expect this to affect my property values? Do you expect it to have any impact at all?

Probably not. As a residential property, I wouldn't say so. Um if it was a commercial property, it still probably not great big impact, you know. And um there's only at this point there's a a wooden fence um which we maintain u I'm not sure who put it up originally but we've replaced it and um would there be more of a barrier or would that be necessary? Uh nothing that the code requires. Um again they're they're not redeveloping the property. uh they're just going to the existing space already pre-developed. Okay. Uh so there's nothing that they're doing that would require additional screening or buffering. Okay.

Yeah. All right. So addressing property values. Anybody have any opinions? I I understand that those are only opinions, too. I mean, it just be speculation, but I think that having a a space that's occupied with with a an active business would be better for property values versus a vacant space. Thank you. Anything else? Thank you. Thank you. Well, I wish they the applicant was here because I do have some questions about that's how they where they're getting their people, who they're affiliated with. Yeah. If you like, you can you can table to the next meeting. I kind of would like to. I think I

Yeah, I mean more information. But that's a that's a small space to pull buses. Well, if you're going to pull some type of like small bus in there, it's an in-n-out egress. It's not a drive-thru lot. So, you're pulling in backing around someplace and then pulling back out. So, it'd be interesting to see how they would Yeah, I I'd just like to be able to talk to them. I I told the applicant you guys probably have questions about that. So, I was I was hoping they'd be here. But, yeah, if you guys want table complet I'll make sure to reach out to them, make sure they can attend the next one. Okay. Okay. Great. Yeah. Do we need to make a motion to do that? Thank you, Jamie. Yes.

I'd like to make make a motion to table PC 26-5 until the uh proposed tenants can attend for further discussion. I second. It's been moved and seconded that we table for further discussion. Uh, any other comments? Roll call, please. Mr. Prescott. Hi. Mr. Wagner. I. Mrs. Strepto. Yes. Mr. Basic. Yes. Mr. Dulyak. Yes.

All right. U. Anything else? No. Um just real quick for the next meeting I think law department's going to come in do their annual public records training which is always fun and um we'll have those two code amendments on the agenda. One for the density and the other for the minor for the modification standards from the minor plan development overlay which are a couple amendments that council made the last minute. So, we're going to come back uh try to put this back in to fix it. So, you'll see those come up in the next meeting.

Okay. All right. Uh motion for adjournment. Make a motion to adjurnn. A second. It's been moved and seconded that we adjourn. All in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Meeting adjourned.
