Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April; 10, 2014 Page 23of 37 Russ says it is zoned residential, so the Art Center is within the residential requirement. No commercial activity is allowed within aresidential ROW except Memory Square Park or associated within the Art Center. In speaking with the City Attorney, this is allowable, defendable,and fair. The City has the right to do that. No other entity has the right to do that. Tengler says would food trucks be allowed on three sides of the park? Russ says if it is in the Art Center, it is within the ROW but only Spruce. If you used Memory Square Park, it would be Walnut, Jefferson, and Spruce. Russell says this is a community resource. I am fine with the condition but would like to see language at a future meeting. There may be urgency advancing this. Tengler asks if 150’ is okay or with 300’. Russ says the 150’ difference would allow food trucks on North Main and East Pine. On McCaslin, it is almost the same exact restriction because they can’t operate on McCaslin. It has no net difference in Centennial Valley; it does present differences in Downtown. Russell says it seems reasonable to go with minimal regulation that accomplishes this goal. Tengler says thereseems to bea consensustoward scratching pre-packaged, McConnell’s position notwithstanding, and the 150’ buffer is acceptable. I’d like to get to some resolution on the Art Center but it may not be possible tonight. We may have a 3- 3 split in terms of that. O’Connell says on the Art Centerissue,it’s just a matter of language. If she made a motion to explore that as an exception and weigh the pros and cons,she would leave it up to the City Attorney with the recommendation that we would like to see some sort of carve-out for the Art Centerif it is feasible anddone in the matter that is in the best interest of the City overall. Brauneis says ifthere is a condition that Staff work with the City Attorney to draft language to allow events held within the Art Center to host food trucks within the adjacent ROW, we wouldcomfortable with something like that. As far as Staff’swork,I think there is a ticking clock with summer approaching and trying to get this to Council sooner. Russ says it was originally slated for last summer and then they wanted the sales tax evaluation of Community Park. There is a desire as summer approaches. Brauneis says from Staff perspective, since we are an advisory board to City Council, we have at least instructed Staff to come up with language that they can see immediately,and thengo with whatever direction they feel is appropriate for the City. We have provided them with that as one of their options.
