Biddle asked if this item was added to the City's Goals and Objectives, would others slip in priority. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 29 REGULAR MEETING June 1, 2010 0 11 ATTACHMENT 2 City Manager Pattillo stated that Staff would bring back some of those High Priority Goals for the City Council's prioritization. Janet Lockhart, Dublin resident, stated that Dublin Toyota was a 30-plus acre facility and its showroom was quite a distance from their facility. They were asking the City to consider an option for them in the way of a semi-permanent awning. If it was raining or very hot, they did not have a place for salespeople to meet with customers. They were looking for an opportunity to place an awning that could not be viewed from the freeway or Dublin Boulevard. She asked that it be considered in the City Council's discussion. Cm. Biddle asked if car dealerships would have the opportunity to build something semi- permanent. Ms. Ram stated the City had met with Toyota to review their options. They would be required to go through the Site Development Review (SDR) process. Mayor Sbranti stated the SDR allowed Staff to review this request. Also, was the picture in the Staff Report what the City did not want to see in terms of tents. Ms. Ram stated that was correct. Assistant City Manager Foss stated that Mayor Sbranti was correct. That was the type of tent the City was trying to avoid. Cm. Hart was supportive of the issue brought forward by Ms. Lockhart. Regarding the item up for discussion, he was concerned with the 60-70 days per year condition. If the structure could only be up for a maximum of 30 days at a time, then that would only allow for two times a year for the structure to be in place. He was supportive of the item if it was only 60-70 days a year. Mr. Foss stated the current ordinance only accommodated 24 days a year. The 60-70 days would allow for more tent event sales, some for less than 30 days at a time. Mayor Sbranti stated balance was key. The Staff recommendations relative to aesthetics, time frames, and visibility were important to follow. The dealerships could use the 60-70 days as they desired; in the lengths they desired. Cm. Scholz stated she agreed with it being a balance issue. She could support the tents once or twice a year. Vm. Hildenbrand stated the issue regarding Toyota was separate and could be looked at separately. She was not sure about supporting the original issue up for consideration. She did not believe there would be a huge increase in car sales right now. This could potentially move DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 12 VOLUME 29 REGULAR MEETING _ June 1, 2010 \ ' I \" something off of the City's Goals and Objectives or give another goal a lower priority. It was a way to go around the sign ordinance. Mayor Sbranti asked that this item be brought back at the June 22, 2010 City Council meeting. It might be something that could be added and prioritized. City Manager Pattillo asked for clarification on City Council direction. There seemed to be a 4 to 1 majority with exploring the item that was up for consideration. Was the City Council recommending this be a High Priority goal? Mayor Sbranti asked that it be brought back at the June 22, 2010 meeting for prioritization. There was consensus to move forward with discussions with Toyota. That was a separate issue. City Manager Pattillo asked for clarification regarding Dublin Toyota's issue, were the structures to be permanent or semi-permanent. Mayor Sbranti asked for consensus from the City Council that they were looking for a permanent awning/structure for Toyota only. Staff could work with Toyota specifically on that. But Item 8.1 should be brought back. The business that had approached them was Toyota and Staff could work with them. City Manager Pattillo stated that Staff had corrected the acreage on the Toyota dealership. It was 19 acres. What would happen if another dealership that was interested in a permanent structure that had less acreage? Would the City Council give Staff give the flexibility to work with that dealership. Mayor Sbranti stated he did not believe that there was a similar size dealership. Instead of casting too wide a net, the City could work with each dealer individually. City Manager Pattillo stated that Staff would work on this and bring it back to the City Council. The City Council provided Staff with direction to work on an Amendment to the Temporary Use Permit Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance and bring it back for consideration and prioritization at the June 22, 2010 City Council meeting.
