AM to 8 PM seven days week. They will be using a 20' X 40' temporary
greenhouse and a 44' X 60' outside display area. The total area for the
greenhouse and display area is 3440 square feet.
The proposed location for the greenhouse is the parking lot in front of the
store. The garden center will take up about 43 parking spaces near the north
end of the store and will block a parking aisle. The location is out of the main
flow of traffic and should not create any traffic flow problems.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending the City Council approve the general planning permit
to allow a temporary greenhouse/garden center with the following conditions:
1. The greenhouse/garden center must be kept in good condition
throughout the time it is in place.
2. The location of the greenhouse will be consistent with the site plan.
3. The green and display area will be removed within I week of the end of
sales and the site returned to its original condition.
