Mr. Gibson stated that this is an amendment to the existing PD to envelop this land to be accorded the same approvals that were given to Tracts 16 & 17. Mr. Garrett questioned the islands along Rinehart in regards to having them across from each other to avoid someone having to make a U -turn and then a sharp right turn. Mr. Gibson stated that there will be a new curb cut in the median on Towne Center Blvd. Staff requested that Car Max try using the existing curb cut in the median, but it would not work with their site layout. During preliminary discussions with Mr. Merkel, staff has asked them to try and utilize the new curb cut that Car Max is installing and consider closing the older curb cut. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that he is concerned about the 9 -foot parking spaces and requested that 10 x 20 parking spaces be required per code. Mr. Gibson stated that at the time the Mall was being considered, they obtained a variance that allowed them to have various parking space sizes. Mr. Merkel stated that if a car dealership develops this property, they would not want to be imposed with 10 -foot spaces. Mr. Gibson stated that the 10 -foot spaces would not apply to the display area. Mr. Merkel requested the board not to limit the access points at this time but allow them to work with Staff at time of site plan review.

In regards to the parking PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES -- MEETING OF JUNE 5, 2003 PAGE 4 concerns, h e checked the church property during the church service and they currently have someone directing the traffic to the parking area, which is located on the abandoned railroad right of way. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that the church needs something from the City giving them permission to use the property that they are using now to avoid future parking issues. Also, if and when the church relocates and someone else occupies the building, he was concerned how the parking would be handled for the new occupant. Mr. Gibson stated that if approval is granted tonight, which requires a parking management plan, and this city property is needed for their parking, then a right -of -way use or property use agreement would be initiated. Mr. Kutz stated that a seating plan needs to be submitted to ensure there are adequate bathroom facilities. Mr. VonHerbulis asked if the church would need a variance for the front yard setback. Mr. Gibson stated that the conditional use request is for an urban infill project, which could include the setback issue. Mr. Gibson also stated that staff was informed the expansion was for their sanctuary to accommodate additional patrons and allow them extra room. Claudia Holloway, a church member, stated that they are not planning for a bigger congregation, they are needing additional space to accommodate the people they have now. They plan to use the addition for a standing room to allow people to come out of the weather; it will not be used as part of the sanctuary. Mr. Gibson stated that staff will work with the applicant with regards to the details required through site plan approval process, including a seating plan to understand the impact on parking and building code issues. If the plan does not address the issues, then the conditional use would not be allowed. Also, a development order would be executed with the property owners for the parking and any new owner would be bound by the same requirements. Mr. VonHerbulis moved to approve per Staff s recommendation with a change that the site plan come before the board for approval instead of approval by staff. Mr. Kutz seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. STAFF REPORTS. Mr. Gibson made a brief comment about the event that was held last Friday at Memorial Park on the Airport.
