The property at 7277 Glenview Drive is a 2,060 square foot building owned by Jonna Jewell. The building sits on 0.3227 acres of land currently zoned Mixed Use. Ms. Jewell purchased the property in October 2013 with the intent of opening an antique shop. Prior to purchase, the property was occupied by an antique shop called Cottage Panache which was permitted in the zoning district at that time. Ms. Jewell began the process to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the property. Building inspections were completed and passed, but the certificate of occupancy was never issued by the city. Ms. Jewell also did not open her antique business at the time, as she planned to continue to work in the healthcare field while she made improvements to the property and obtained a diploma as a professional level antique dealer and appraiser. Over the years, Ms. Jewell has made several improvements to the property: • Removal of dead/overgrown trees and plants • New fence and dumpster enclosure • New landscaping • New gutters and French drains • Foundation repair • New flooring • ADA compliant restroom • New exterior and interior paint • Exterior security lighting The City adopted the current Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance in May 2014. At that time, the property was rezoned to Mixed Use and requires an approved Specific Use Permit to operate an antique shop. Ms. Jewell is seeking Planning and Zoning and City Council approval to open her antique shop as originally planned when she purchased the property in 2013. City staff has reviewed Ms. Jewell's application and recommends approval of the Specific Use Permit. Chairman LaPointe opened the public hearing —Time 6:05 p.m. The applicant Jonna Jewell gave a detailed presentation regarding her SUP request to operate an antique store at 7277 Glenview Drive.

Amendment 2 The second amendment would add subsection (A)(20) under Article 3, Section 3.02.01 "Conditional Development Standards" providing certain requirements for Food Truck Parks to operate. Those requirements are detailed on the attached draft ordinance. Amendment 3 The third amendment adds the following definition to Article 8, Section 8.01 "Defined Terms". "Food Truck Park.
