The request is for an accessory structure greater than 50% the size of the principal dwelling. Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, gave the staff report. Dan Coody, applicant, was present for questions. No public comment was presented. Commissioner Winston discussed the need to potentially change the ordinance requiring a conditional use permit for this type of application with a very small house. He discussed potential code changes including specifying a floor size, number of sq. ft., where all buildings are treated the same up to a certain size, or a sliding scale related to the acreage of the property. If it is a very small home with an accessory structure such as proposed tonight, we would want to look at it by right opposed to a conditional use permit. Commissioner Chesser agreed with Winston's comments to look at the ordinance. Kit Williams, City Attorney, discussed that sometimes it is appropriate to require a conditional use permit in certain settings and that it may be difficult to look at trying to do the ordinance to cover all scenarios. Commissioner Hoskins discussed looking at trying to get approval of something where an accessory structure could be built prior to a principal residence in certain settings. Motion: Commissioner Chesser made a motion to approve CUP 14-4905 as recommended by staff. Commissioner Cook seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 6-0-0.

Jesse Fulcher, Senior Planner, read the staff report. No public comment was presented. Morgan Hooker, applicant, had no additional comment. Commissioner Cook asked the applicant about the number of employees. Adam Yates, applicant stated about eight. Commissioner Cook asked if the building was still on septic and explained that he asked about the number of employees since this building is still on septic. Commissioner Hoskins asked if the septic would have to be tested. Fulcher stated that it's not a requirement of the City's for rezoning or for a new business use. Motion: Commissioner Winston made a motion to forward RZN 14-4894 to City Council. Commissioner Autry seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 6-0-0. El. ADM 14-4896 Administrative Item (UDC AMENDMENT SMALL-SCALE PRODUCTION): Submitted by CITY PLANNING STAFF for revisions to the Unified Development Code, Chapters 151, 161, 162, and 166. The proposal is to modify the zoning code to create a new use unit for small-scale production including boutique/specialty manufacturing. The intent of the code change is to allow a broader range of non-residential uses throughout the City. Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, gave the staff report. No public comment was presented. Commissioner Chesser discussed that in general he thinks it is a great plan. He discussed agreement that he thought that industrial zoning was always a difficult classification for microbreweries. I am in favor of it. Commissioner Winston mentioned concerns from other breweries such as spent grain. Garner discussed the context of that comment from the breweries and that it would very rarely be a problem where used grain is left outside and causes an odor problem. Commissioner Winston discussed that breweries are close and in the fabric of the city where he lived in Seattle and that it was appropriate in a commercial setting. I think this can move forward. Commissioner Autry discussed that used grain would need to have to be moved within a day or two. He indicated that coffee roasting facilities have that same issue with spent coffee beans similar to spent grants in breweries grains. These type of uses are typically small in scale with limited deliveries of grain coming in box trucks. This ordinance could really clean it up and streamline it for these types of industries. Commissioner Hoskins discussed that he is ready to move this forward tonight. Commissioner Cook discussed that coffee roasting can smell quite a distance; if you burn the coffee beans it can smell. He discussed that some people like it some people don't, but that it was not an obviously bad odor like from a paper mill. Motion: Commissioner Winston made a motion to forward ADM 14-4896 to City Council as recommended by staff. Commissioner Cook seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 6-0-0. S. Reports: No reports 6. Announcements: No announcements 7. Adjournment Time: 6:15 PM 8. Submitted by: City Planning Division
