Business owner tells commission permit process penalized his retail operations; asks for administrative correction
Summary
A local business owner who sells sheds and rents trucks told commissioners staff treated new brands or products as a change in land use, prompting demands for extra business tax receipts, the revocation of a permit classification and daily fines; he asked the city to correct an ambiguous CPD agreement at city expense.
During the public comment period a local business owner identified to the dais as Robert said staff had inaccurately concluded his operations constituted a change in permitted uses under a CPD agreement and had imposed deadlines and fines as a result. He told the commission he holds a retail business tax receipt (BTR) and additional BTRs for other activities, and that staff demanded two more BTRs for shed sales and truck rentals.
Robert said he asked staff to produce the list of permitted uses supporting the enforcement action and that staff could not produce it; he said the city attorney later acknowledged the CPD agreement contains no development order or list of permitted uses and is ambiguous. Robert asked the commission to direct staff to correct the city's defect administratively or with a minor amendment at city expense so his existing uses would be recognized without additional charges.
