The current zoning code does not allow the operation of this type of business in any zone. Each of the Commercial zone definitions has the statement, "Other uses not specified in this or any other district, if the Planning Commission finds them to be similar to the uses listed above and compatible with other permitted uses and with the intent of the C- district." This paragraph requires that each individual re- quest be brought before the Planning Commission and City Council, sometimes requiring the applicant to wait a con- siderable period of time for approval {depending on meeting dates and application date). In an effort to assist our citizens and speed the application process, Staff prepared a resolution for consideration by the Planning Commission which would have allowed chain saw sales and service in the C-5 zone. Upon review the members of the Planning Commission felt that this type of request would probably come up again, such as for lawn mower sales and service, which is not listed as a use in any Commercial zone. After discussion, the Planning Commissioners indicated that they felt that a paragraph allowing similar, compatible uses in all C zones should be developed that would not require Planning Commission action on each occupation which is not listed in the ordinance. Staff suggested modification of this resolution with direction to prepare the changes suggested above. The prepared resolution was then rewritten to allow small engine sales and service in the CT5 zone to cover the broader range of activities which was the intent of the Planning Commission. A motion was made and passed unanimously.
