MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 23, 1998 ( #9) #2327 ORONO DEVELOPMENT, LLC - ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, B -5, CONDITIONAL USES • Gaffron indicated that the zoning code amendment is in conjunction with agenda item 98. The amendment requested was for allowing as a conditional use in the B -5 district three specific uses: 1) coffee shop, 2) bagel shop, and 3) pizza. Gaffron indicated that each of these are typical of restaurants but do not fit into the two categories of restaurants in the code. He noted that the B -5 code includes a Dairy Queen. The Planning Commission recommended 4:1 to include bagel and coffee shops in the B -5. They did not recommend the pizza restaurant due to the odors it generally emits, hours of operations, and general potential problems with the business. The applicant agreed to amend their application to exclude the pizza restaurant. The dissenting Commission vote was based on an opinion that restaurants are not appropriate in the B -5. Gaffron said if the Council agrees with the coffee and bagel shops as appropriate uses, Staff should be directed to draft a zoning code amendment to include conditions to keep the nature of the uses at a level commensurate with the B -5 district. Such conditions might include the restaurant not being the primary tenant, and Gaffron suggested a limited percentage of building space be allowed for the coffee and bagel use. Goetten, Peterson, and Kelley felt the uses were appropriate to the district as a conditional use. Barrett asked for applicant's agreement to extend the time allotment of the application in is order for the amendment process to occur. A letter of agreement is to be submitted. Dillon agreed to tabling the application clarifying that the resolution draft could not occur without the amendment of the code. Jabbour asked the record show that the applicant authorized the City to table the application. Peterson moved, Goetten seconded, to table Application #2327. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to direct Staff to draft language to amend the code to accommodate the coffee shop and bagel shop use as a conditional use in the B -5 District. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( * #10) #2334 LECY CONSTRUCTION FOR JEFF JACOBSEN, 127 CHEVY CHASE DRIVE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 4036 Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4036.
