merchandise, dry cleaning and laundry pick-up stations including incidental pressing and repair, jcw-eliy shops and repair, laundromats, music, newsstands, pipe and tobacco shops, retail foods, tailor shop, and wearing apparel. It is the excepted clause that Otten Uros. is requesting to have removed from the PUD agreement. Removal of the exceptions would mean all D-1 permitted uses would be then be permitted uses on Loti. The PUD Agreement w as amended in 1998 to permit construction of a outdoor loading dock located at the north end of the property and construction of the green houses east of the building. B-1 uses Ihe City created the B-6 zoning district specifically for the commercial areas on the north side of Highway 12. The district was developed to limit the intensity of retail uses, and to provide for uses that are compatible with the residential uses to the north. Both lot 1 and lot 2 of the Otten property arc zoned D-6. This is a large amount of property, the dcNclopmcnt or redevelopment of w hich w ill ha\c a substantial impact on the character of the Highway 12 area. Any changes to the PUD. or to the zoning of the property to add new permitted uses needs to be done carefully, and in a way that ensures the use of the property fits into the Cit>-‘s plans for the broader Highway 12 area. If we simply open this property up to all B-1 uses, the property could be changed to a mix of uses that is incompatible w ith, or detrimental to. the plans for the Highway 12 area. Also, if we add B-1 uses to this B-6 zoned area, we would get pressua* from tlic owners of the property on the northwest comer of Willow and Highway 12 to do the same for them. They are already pointing to the existing retail uses on the Otten property as a reason to allow intense retail uses on their property. Restaurant l^sc The current a'staurant use includes a small portable concession stand that is located within the Otten building. The concession stand operates with a limited menu and is open generally at 8 00 a m. and closes one hour before the nursery closes. The area w here this use operates is approximately 900 s.f. in area. A total of 10 tables and 44 chairs arc located next to the concession stand. Otten Bros, is also requesting that restaurants be listed as a “permitted use" to include restaurant use beyond the existing "Daisy Diner". Until 1996 Class I restaurants were listed as permitted uses in the B-6 district and would have been pemiitted to be located within the building prior to that lime. Class I restaurants are now a conditional use in the B-6 district Class 1 restaurants arc a sit down restaurant where food orders arc generally taken at a table or a restaurant where food is ordered cafeteria style and taken to a table for consumption
