Best Regards, Karla Slyngstad From:Nakeisha Lyon To:Karla Slyngstad; Agenda Subject:RE: Thriftway application # 22039 Date:Monday, June 19, 2023 2:11:25 PM Hi Karla, The City is closed in celebration of Juneteenth today. When a holiday falls on a Monday, typically the City Commission is cancelled, so there is nomeeting tomorrow. The next meeting is next week Tuesday at 6 pm. The status in the newspaper is correct.Staff will be forwarding a recommendation of approval with conditions and code provisions for the application to be reviewed and decided by the Community Development Director onWednesday. Special use permits are administratively approved and therefore, a public meeting is notassociated with this application. Based on the adjacency to the residential development to the south and southwest, and the criteria of the special use permit process in Sec. 38.230.120., Staff has proposed the followingconditions in order to mitigate adverse impacts: 1. A 3’ solid screen wall within the landscaped buffer between the fuel pump stations and Baxter Lane is required. The wall must be constructed of masonry material similar tothose used in the architecture of the retail building, and meet the requirements of Sec. 38.350.060 and Sec. 38.400.100. Details, location, and dimensions for the concretewall must be provided prior to final approval of this site plan application. 2. All on-site lighting including illumination of signage, fueling stations and canopy,parking lots, and the building, must be turned off between 11:00 pm and 6:00 am with the exemption of security lighting.3. The uses of retail and automobile fuel sales or repair must not operate between the hours of 11:00 pm to 6:00 am. Please be advise that these may be subject to change as I’m not the decision maker on theapplication. Once a decision is finalized, I will provide a copy to Justin with the Crossings II HOA andothers in regards to the appeal process the group may formally file as well as the final staff report and documents will be posted in the Laserfiche archive folder once ready.Also the Community Development Viewer is our mapping software that tracks this information as well and has links to the project folder and documents.
