Mrs. Conrad clarified from staff that there are restrictions regarding when parking lots<br />
can be cleaned, asking who Mr. Gomerdinger could call in this regard. Senior<br />
Assistant <strong>City</strong> Attorney replied that there were no special hours for cleaning <strong>of</strong> parking<br />
lots. He said there were decibel limits at property lines, noting that if a piece <strong>of</strong> equipment<br />
is used regularly, it could be tested for sound levels to determine if it is in compliance.<br />
Mr. Budetti said the Police Department would have to partner with Neighborhood<br />
Enforcement and the <strong>Planning</strong> Department in terms <strong>of</strong> enforcing the noise<br />
ordinance in <strong>of</strong>f hours.<br />
Mr. Ehnen said the applicant would be happy to talk to the shopping center owner to<br />
see if the hours could be modified so the cleaning would not be a nuisance.<br />
Mr. White was pleased about this project because the dirt and vacant lot has been<br />
eyesore for many years. Even though it is directly across from a residential area, he<br />
thought it would improve the overall appearance <strong>of</strong> the shopping center as well as the<br />
neighborhood.<br />
Mr. White then moved that the <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> recommend to the <strong>City</strong> Council<br />
approval <strong>of</strong> Rezoning No. <strong>2002</strong>-7, 8800 West 95th Street, with stipulations a through<br />
e. The motion was seconded by Mr. Reitzes and carried by a 9 to 0 vote.<br />
SPECIAL USE PERMIT NO. <strong>2002</strong>-3 – 9036 Metcalf Avenue. Special use permit<br />
requested for a five-year period <strong>of</strong> time, to allow a drinking establishment. This<br />
property is currently zoned CP-1, Planned Restricted Business District. Application<br />
made by Gurdev Choong.<br />
(Approved)<br />
Mr. Gooch stated that this item was continued from the March 25, <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Commission</strong><br />
meeting due to concerns about landscaping, trash pickup and lighting. He said<br />
staff visited the site and did find some deficient landscaping on the north side <strong>of</strong> the<br />
center and trash bins not located in trash enclosures. Mr. Gooch said staff is working<br />
with the property owner to address these issues, noting this can be worked out<br />
separate from this special use permit.<br />
Staff recommends approval <strong>of</strong> the special use permit for a five-year period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />
Mrs. Conrad asked if there was a Police Department report, and Mr. Gooch said there<br />
was no negative activity to report.<br />
Although the applicant was not present, Mr. Gooch said the <strong>Commission</strong> could take<br />
action.<br />
Chairman Hunter opened the public hearing, but with no one to comment, the public<br />
hearing was closed.<br />
Mr. White moved that the <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> recommend to the Council approval <strong>of</strong><br />
Special Use Permit No. <strong>2002</strong>-3 at 9036 Metcalf, for a five-year period <strong>of</strong> time. The<br />
motion was seconded by Mrs. Conrad and carried by a 9 to 0 vote.<br />
