2. Discussion of “Standards” for Conditional Use Permits:
Gallo stated the PowerPoint presentation tonight is a continuation of discussion for setting standards for
Conditional Use Permits (CUP) due to recent law changes. CUP’s must have measurable
criteria/standards for the City to base a decision on if a CUP can be granted or not. The C-O-T-W
previously set standards for Residential and Commercial Uses and tonight will discuss the last category,
Industrial Uses. For Natural Resource Processing the Committee added fencing as a safety standard.
Gallo stated during his research he determined another potential CUP use; Recycling Collection Centers in
the BP and I Districts and created some standards. The Committee added containment of liquids and non-
hazardous material. For Mini-Storage the Committee added defining the security camera locations,
changing the setbacks to 50’ for the front and 35’ for side/back yards and if property abuts a residential
property making the fence more decorative. For Storage Yard the Committee changed the front yard
setback to 35’, added security cameras and requires a Hazardous Material Handling and Control Plan for
operation. For Communication Tower, per the advice from Riffle, the Committee omitted the last three
bullets items in the slide because the use is regulated by State Statutes. Gallo stated the next step is an
ordinance will be drafted and brought forward to Council.
Motion by Shaw to adjourn the Committee-of-the-Whole meeting; second by Miller. Motion carried 8-0.
The meeting adjourned at 7:20 PM.
