REQUEST FOR USE VARIANCE TO ALLOW CERTAIN NON-OFFICE USES — GIZMO PROPERTIES, 3601-3637 MUNICIPAL DRIVE In attendance was Attorney Robert Roth representing the applicant. Director of Community Development Napolitano stated the applicant, Gizmo Properties, is requesting a use variance to allow specific non-office uses for their building located at 3601-3637 Municipal Drive. Director Napolitano noted the Planning and Zoning Commission at a Public Hearing held on February 1, 2007 recommended approval of certain non-office uses, subject to specific restrictions on building signage and the applicant's contribution of$80,000 towards the cost of Municipal Drive road improvements. Director Napolitano stated it is Staffs recommendation to approve a use variance to Gizmo Properties for their property located at 3601-3637 Municipal Drive to allow the following uses: - Beauty shop, barber shop, and hair styling salon - Coffee shop, not-to-exceed 1,500 square feet in area and having limited hours of operation (5:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.) - Florist shop - Laboratory, medical, dental, research and testing associated with each - Orthopedic and medical appliance store (retail sales only) - Veterinarian offices (domestic animals only) - Postal packaging - Physical and massage therapy - Eye glasses, sales and repair - Schools, commercial for music, dance, business or trade. City Attorney McArdle suggested the matter regarding the applicant's contribution toward the Municipal Drive improvements be addressed in a separate contract. Alderman Peterson stated he is not in favor of a veterinarian office on the premises. He also stated beauty shop and/or coffee shop are more commercial-type uses. Alderman Condon expressed concerns regarding some of the uses. Alderman Santi inquired if the postal packaging business might have to allow consideration for larger trucks on the premises. April 16, 2007 Page 7 Alderman Glab envisioned a more upscale commercial structure to complement the Municipal Building. He stated a coffee shop or veterinarian's office would not be appropriate for the venue. Alderman Glab stated he would like to see uses more restricted. Alderman Schaefer stated he would like to see more limitation on the uses. He concurs with the other Aldermen. He has some reservations regarding the proposed uses. Mayor Low stated a coffee shop might be a nice amenity to the Municipal Center. Mayor Low stated she doesn't believe the applicant is seeking a drive-thru establishment on the premises. Alderman Murgatroyd inquired if one of the owners would be a tenant. Attorney Roth responded Applicant Dr. Cannizzo would relocate his office to the site. His office would occupy a 3,500 square foot office on the premises. Alderman Murgatroyd stated he does not believe the owner would accept bad neighbors on the premises. He opined traffic would not be an issue. Attorney Roth requested Council's consideration of the applicant's request. He thanked Council for addressing the matter. Alderman Glab stated any use restrictions should be imposed by Council prior to ordinance approval. Alderman Peterson stated the veterinarian's office and coffee shop are not appropriate for this venue. If permitted, they would be a deal-breaker as far as he is concerned. Attorney Roth stated the applicant is willing to eliminate the veterinarian's office. The applicant is also willing to limit the size of the postal packaging unit to a maximum of 3,500 square feet. City Administrator Maxeiner stated there would not be a drive-thru facility at the coffee shop. He also noted no alcoholic beverages would ever be served. Alderman Glab suggested the coffee shop be allowed to remain open later than 6:00 p.m. Aldermen Condon and Peterson concurred with Alderman Glab. Attorney Roth suggested the coffee shop hours of operation be 5:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Condon, to pass an ordinance granting a use variance to allow the following non-office uses to Gizmo Properties for their property located at 3601-3637 Municipal Drive: - Beauty shop, barber shop, and hair styling salon - Coffee shop, not-to-exceed 1,500 square feet in area and having limited hours of operation (5:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.) '-- - Florist shop - Laboratory, medical, dental, research and testing associated with each - Orthopedic and medical appliance store (retail sales only) April 16, 2007 Page 8 Postal packaging unit limited to a 3,500 square foot maximum area - Physical and massage therapy - Eye glasses, sales and repair - Schools, commercial for music, dance, business or trade subject to the Mayor's signature being held in abeyance until such time as a real estate contract is concluded between the City and the applicant for the purchase of additional property for road improvements.
