appears to meet the standards of Titles 16, 17 and 18 of City Code, and recommended
approval conditional upon City Council approval of the recommended zone change.
Matson stated that the Commission can also add conditions on the Conditional Use
Permit for excessive noise violations. Those conditions could include that if this property
had excessive amounts of noise violations that the Commission could revoke an approved
Conditional Use Permit.
Mendenhall asked if the City's noise ordinance would address that concern without a
condition from the Commission. Berls read the City Code towards excessive noise
violations.
Holmes felt like relying solely on the City's noise ordinance could become more of an
enforcement issue. Mr. Holmes recommended adding a noise/nuisance condition to the
Conditional Use Permit that would allow city staff to bring that permit back to the
Commission for review if needed.
Mendenhall declared the public hearing open for public comment, Due to no public comment
Mendenhall closed the public hearing.
Eborn stated that the planned residential development north of this property will have
landscaping and trees additional to fencing to help with noise and lighting issues.
Berls asked if the applicant would have contracts in place to help control noise and
alcohol on the premises. Berls didn't want the applicant to invest all this time and money
and then have their Conditional Use Permit revoked due to things that might be out of
their control.
Applicant Kim Hardy stated that they have talked with other event centers about how
they handle these same concerns. They will have contracts in place for alcohol that
requires the host to provide security guards on premises during events. The contract will
also limit hours for outside events, music, and alcohol.
Budge stated that having a condition attached to the Conditional Use Pen -nit would
allow the Commission to bring the applicant back before the Commission to help resolve
excessive noise/nuisance violations and/or the ability to revoke a Conditional Use Permit
for that property.
Mendehall asked how many violations the applicant would be able to receive before it
would be brought back to the Commission. Budge felt like that the condition should be at
the discretion of city staff to determine if this property is having excessive noise/nuisance
violations that would need to be brought back before the Commission for review.
Budge moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit for a convention/wedding center as presented,
conditional upon City Council approval of a Limited Commercial (C-1) zone change, and the
condition that if there is multiple violations of the City's noise ordinance; that upon recommendation
from city staff that the Land Use Commission can revisit the pen -nit. Ayre, seconded.
With all Commission members understanding the motion they voted.
Roll Call Vote: Ayre, Yes; Berls, Yes; Mendenhall, Yes; Holm, Yes; Jackson, Yes; Budge, Yes;
