The latest interim conditional use permit (Resolution 2009 -044) expired July 1, 2013. Each year since Planning Staff Report — ICUP14 -007 Cub Foods Interim Conditional Use Permit— Outdoor Sales April 28, 2014 Page 2 of 3 1992, Cub Foods obtained a building permit from the City to erect the temporary greenhouse and operate the outdoor sales of plants and landscaping materials. An annual fee for interim conditional uses is collected with the building permit. The current annual rate for interim use is $300. Planning Considerations Property Characteristics The Cub Foods site is fully developed on approximately 8.2 acres of land. The property is com- mercially guided and located within the B2- Retail Business District. The 64,569 square foot building is located at the north end of the site and was recently remodeled. There are 371 parking spaces provided on the south and west sides of the building. Motor vehicle access is provided from East Point Douglas Road, Jamaica Avenue, and 90th Street. The outdoor display and sales of nursery products and merchandise utilizes 23 parking spaces. This parking impact has occurred since 2009, and has not had a negative impact on the site parking operation, as an abundant number of parking spaces are still available in the vicinity and on the site as a whole. Outdoor Sales The applicant proposes to continue operating outdoor sales of landscaping material in the twenty - three parking spaces as they have in the past. The perimeter of the display area will be fenced with a split -rail type barrier. The site plan for the outdoor sales areas is attached. Public Hearing Notices Notices announcing this public hearing were published in the South Washington County Bulletin on April 16, 2014. Public hearing notices were mailed to 110 property owners within 500 feet of the Cub Foods property. Summary The proposed use is temporary in nature and the sales items are consistent with approved mer- chandise for the B -2 zoning district. Seasonal outdoor sales are listed as an interim conditional use, and as proposed, the use would meet the criteria for issuing this type of permit. Recommendation That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Cub Foods' interim conditional use permit to construct two 21 -foot by 60 -foot temporary greenhouses and the out- door display and sales of landscaping materials and plants in the southwest corner of their parking lot, subject to the following conditions: 1. The interim conditional use permit is valid beginning on April 29, 2014 and expiring on July 1, 2019. The approved start date is April 1 in subsequent years. 2. The applicant must annually pay the interim conditional use permit application fee to the City prior to the operation of the seasonal outdoor sales.

The temporary greenhouses must setback a minimum of 20 feet from the property line along East Point Douglas Road and 20 feet from the back of the curb for that portion of private drive providing access into the Cub Foods parking lot. 5. Landscaping materials and fencing are prohibited on the grass areas between the Cub Foods parking area and East Point Douglas Road or the private access drive along the west side of the site. 6. Overhead electrical service or electrical extension cords are prohibited from any power source that extends across the parking /paved area of the Cub Foods site.
