Summary

The council unanimously approved a conditional-use permit for a commercial building in a B-2 district that includes a bedroom but not a permanent living quarter; the planner confirmed compliance with building standards.

City Planner Oleson told the council that the property owner has worked with the city building official and that the proposed commercial building complies with current building standards. Oleson clarified the conditional-use permit applies to a bedroom only and that the space will not be a permanent living quarter. Councilmember Little had asked whether an egress window was provided; Oleson responded that standards are met.

On a motion by Stone, seconded by Christensen, the council unanimously approved Resolution #2026-95 authorizing the conditional use for PID #32.37.00300. The approval records indicate the council treated the matter as conforming to building and safety requirements and did not add conditions in the meeting minutes.
