The suggestion was that nonconforming signs be allowed to remain for a maximum of five years from their date of installation this would allow a possible five years for signs that had been recently erected and would enhance the chances of removal for those signs that had been amortized. Mr. Stuart Nelson, moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that Section 13.3 read as follows; Section 13.3 Appeal The period specified in Section 13.1 may be extended by the Board of Adjustment. Upon application to the Board by the person maintaining such sign, the Board may extend the period for a maximum of five (5) years from the date of erection of the sign. The Board may also extend the period specified in Section 13.1 by eighteen (18) months upon application of the person maintaining such sign if the Board finds that such an extension is necessary for the preservation of sub- stantial property rights of the applicant. 1 The motion was seconded by Tom Jackson.

The Secretary then introduced Mr. A. D. Stanley, Consulting Engineer for the Pasco Port Authority, who explained the proposed new Zoning District and map, to the Planning Commission. Mr. Stanley stated tha- the present city and county Airport District Zones were out-dated. He stated that the pro- posed Airport District Zone that he was presenting to the Planning Commission was merely a direct copy of the Federal Aviation Regulations that apply to all airports in the United States. Mr. Stanley further stated that the County Ordinance was identical to the City Ordi- nance and that future annexations by the City would not necessitate a change in the City's Ordinance. Mr. Stanley then gave specific examples at specific locations on the County Air- port Zoning Map as to the height which objects could be constructed in the transition and conical zones of the proposed Ordinance. Mr. Lee Richards, Airport Director for the Pasco Port Authority stated that the proposed Airport Zoning District that they hoped the city woulc set up for Public Hearing and adopt was to insure the protection of the Tri-City Airport now and in the Airport and the proposed Ordinance was merely to insure the protection of that investment and not be prohibited, however, to surrounding development. Motion was made by Robert Lovelace and seconded by A. J. Tate that the Planning Commission set up a Public Hearing on the matter of the adoption of the Airport Zoning District at the next regular meeting in January. ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE-SIGN SHOPS } The Acting Secretary explained to the Commission Members that the present Ordinance allowed sign shops in the C-2 Zone and that sign shops as mentioned under that section referred to printing shops and printing plants. It was suggested by the staff that the Planning Commi- -2- sion study the aspect of possibly creating a new section in the C-1 zone that would allow sign painters, silk screen sign maekrs and like uses to be permitted; the difference being in the amount of noise being made by printing shops and printing plants being quite exces- sive and belonging in the C-2 zone as they are now shown and that sign painters and silk screen sign makers do not have that amount of noise and should be permitted in the C-1 zone. The Secretary pointed out there were a few sign painters now in business in the City of Pasco and they were in C-1 zones. As there was no specific proposed ordinance to present to the Commission at this time, the Chairman tabled this matter to the next rugular meeting and requested that the staff wirte proposed amendments to present to the Commission for study at that time. TRI-CITY TRANSMISSION SITE REVIEW The Secretary explained that the Tri-City Transmission Shop, located on the corner of Ainsworth and South 10th Avenue, wished to expand their present facility to include more bays Presently the building is on a lot which fronts both on 10th and on to Ainsworth, it's a nar- row lot with the front of the lot, which would actually be its narrowest side, on Ainsworth and its widest side on 10th. They presently use 10th as ingress and egress to their facility If the Planning Commission approved the site review it would be necessary for the individuals to obtain a variance from the City of Pasco Board of Adjustment before they could build as shown in their proposed plan. The Chairman asked if there was anyone present to speak for or against this matter. There was no one present to speak on this matter. The chairman in- structed the staff to send the letter to the Tri-City Transmission Shop informing them that their proposed sight review had been postponed to the January meeting and that they would be asked to attend and explain their proposal at that time. TRI-CITY CAR WASH The Secretary explained that the Tri-City Car Wash located on the corner of North Lucas and West Lewis Street wished to move their present gasoline pumps from the back of their lot to the front of their lot. The pumps are presently on the Northwest corner of the lot. They would like to move the pumps directly to the South towards Lewis Street. They would not be located any closer to Lucas Street than what they are now but they would be up in the front of the lot to facilitate use by strictly gas customers coming in off Lewis Street. There present location is such that they can only be used by people driving through the car wash. Three gentlemen were present in the audience, one of which was the owner of the establish- ment. They explained their proposed site plan to the Planning Commission. Don Matson moved and Tom Jackson seconded approval of site review. OTHER NEW BUSINESS Don Matson rAaised a question with the Planning Commission pertaining to the now existing limited access on Lewis Street on the North side between Chase Street and Road 28. Mr. Matson stated that in the past the limited access had been maintained. It was his opinion, as this area had never developed and the frontage road never built, that he could no longer deny access off Lewis Street between Chase and 28th anymore. He felt that people should be allowed access along that route. The Chairman instructed the staff to review the aspects of allowing access between Road 28 and Chase along Lewis. He asked the staff to present at the next regular meeting the history pertaining to the limited access along that street and possibility of where access might be allowed. Meeting was adjourned at 8:45. Re�ct ull Sybmi,�tede Ric and German, Acting Secretary City Planning Commission
