CityCouncil | 2009-11-17 | 9 | The Supervising Planner responded there is no distinction; stated staff considered this a convenience store to ensure protections would be in place and that the store would not evolve into something objectionable to the community. Mayor Johnson inquired whether convenience store rules are strong enough to keep the store from evolving into a 99C store, to which the Planning Services Manager responded in the negative. Mayor Johnson inquired what conditions could be put in place to ensure that the store does not become a 99C store. Vice Mayor deHaan responded the square footage would never be there to run a 99C store; stated a good 99C store would require no less than 9,000 square feet. Councilmember Gilmore moved approval of the staff recommendation with the change that the Planning Board review be in six months as opposed to a year. Vice Mayor deHaan seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated that he has concerns regarding staff having the burden of policing the establishment to ensure that conditions are met; future consideration should be given to how [staff monitoring] costs can be recovered. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes louncilmembers deHaan, Gilmore, Tam, and Mayor Johnson - 4. Noes: Councilmember Matarrese - 1.
