Background/Discussion
Section 30-793(h) requires a General Planning Permit for an event longer than four days and which
requires a tent structure. Plant Place is requesting a general planning permit to locate a temporary
greenhouse in the Coborn's parking lot. They will be selling bedding plants, nursery stock and other
gardening supplies from mid April through the first week of July. The proposed hours of operation are
Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m. to 6 a.m. They will be using a 20' X 120'
temporary greenhouse/display area. The total area for the garden center operation is 2,400 square feet.
The proposed location is in the parking lot along Evans Street and will displace about 25 parking spaces.
The location will not disrupt traffic flow nor does it create any parking problems. The garden center has
been in the same location for the past 10 years without any known issues.
