The applicant is proposing to use the space that was once used <br />as the library to operate a retail business to sell go carts, parts and <br />accessories. The Zoning Code does not list the sell of go carts as either a <br />permitted or conditional use in any commercial section of the ordinance. The <br />applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend to the City <br />Council to consider it similar to a hobby shop and bicycle shop. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Planning Commission on a 4-1 vote recommended that the proposed go-cart business is not <br />substantially similar to either a hobby shop or bicycle sales and repair shop because of the concern <br />about noise issues regarding engines and engine repair and possible conflicts with existing retail <br />businesses in the proposed location. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />To deny the request for finding that a go-cart operation is a substantially similar use to a hobby <br />shop or bicycle sales and repair shop. <br />Attachments
