Lipton agrees with the previous two but is not in total agreement. It would seem logical for the City to swap some land elsewhere to be designated ‘Rural Preservation’. He also stated that we cannot ignore the IGA when we zone a piece of property. Pritchard agrees with what has been said and if the property is annexed then it should be zoned Industrial. Lipton requested a two-minute recess to allow time to have a motion drafted. Lipton moved that “the Planning Commission believes in the absence of the existing IGA, the appropriate zoning for this property should be Industrial. Planning Commission recommends that City Council explore alternatives to modify the IGA to allow this property to ultimately receive Industrial zoning designation.” Seconded by Pritchard. Roll Call Vote: Tom McAvinew, Yes; Chris Pritchard, Yes; Bill McDermott, Yes; Jeffery Lipton, Yes. (Debra Kalish, Patricia Thompson and Christopher Leh absent) Motion passed 4:0. Resolution No. 29, Series 2001, Temporary use permit for 3 modular units totaling 36 feet by 60 feet to house professional offices during construction of new office buildings, at 901/909/917 Front St. Case #01-027-TU.  Applicant: Hartronft Fauri Architects  Owner: Pulmonary Data Services Public Notice Verification: Jeffery Martell, Planner II, reported that public notice was properly served having been published in the Daily Camera, posted in City Hall and mailed to the surrounding property owners. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Martell reported that the applicant is requesting the approval of a Temporary Use Permit for office space in three modular office trailer units (combined together) equaling 2,160 square feet in size, for a period of one-year from the issuance of the permit. The temporary office project is part of two larger proposals that have been reviewed and approved during the past two years, specifically 901/909 Front and 917 Front Street on the eastern edge of the Old Town Commercial District. A request for temporary permits longer than 30 days in length require approval through the Planning Commission and City Council public hearing process. The offices are to be used by the Pulmonary Data Services company during the construction of the new office buildings on the parcels previously mentioned. The trailers will be located at the western 1/3 of the rear of the property, twenty-one feet from the public alley between this parcel and Front St. Ten parking spaces are provided on-site for the temporary use. Five spaces are to be located on a gravel surface and five on an existing concrete surface. These spaces are to be used by employees and construction personnel. Staff is recommending approval of the request with one condition: that the duration of the temporary use permit would end within one year of the issuance of certificate of occupancy was issued for the trailers or when a certificate of occupancy was issued for the new building, whichever occurs first. Commission Questions: McDermott requested clarification of where the construction employees are to park. 5
