The Commissioners agreed. There was consensus to add "Adult Book Stores" to "Expressly Prohibited Uses" under "D. Allowed Uses." Commissioner Pentin noted that "Variety stores" was changed to "Specialty retail stores," which is already listed a few lines above it. Chair Narum noted that there was a comment from Ms. Dennis regarding the use of the term office" versus "center" under "Social services" on page 15 of the Guidelines. Mr. Dolan explained that there was concern that one could make a case that "center" could include a homeless shelter. He clarified that having something more than an office but not necessarily a shelter is appropriate. He indicated that staff would use another term to address Ms. Dennis' concern. There was consensus to replace the term "office" with something more appropriate to reflect a use that is more than an office but not necessarily a shelter. Commissioner Blank referred to the "Conditionally Allowed Uses "on page 16 of the Guidelines regarding normal business hours between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. He indicated that most businesses do not operate during these hours, although Starbucks on Valley Avenue opens at 4:50 a.m. He inquired if a coffee shop moving into a retail location would be required to do anything special. Ms. Stern replied that a Conditional Use Permit would be required. Commissioner Blank inquired if that would come before the Commission. Ms. Stern said yes. Commissioner Blank commented that he thinks this is a bit restrictive. Chair Narum stated that the way this was written in the Workshop, a 7-Eleven store operating 24 hours a day would have been a permitted use. Commissioner Blank indicated that he was specifically referring to a coffee shop. Commissioner Pearce stated that Conditional Use Permit requests of this type could be put on the Consent Calendar.
