inventory in fact meets the criteria of being light industrial in nature. (i.e. no
hazardous materials)

2. Two applications for 1571 6th Street were presented by Tyrone Garrett,
Executive Director and then discuss by the ETRA Board. The uses being
proposed were retail, storage and manufacturing. Members expressed concerns
about the type of business being proposed and whether it met the criteria of
mixed use for the sub-area. In addition, parking to support the retail component
was at issue. Does the number of parking spaces meet the square footage
requirement? The Executive Director was instructed to research prior uses at the
location while requesting assistance from CWL Planning to determine if the
standard for Sub-Area 2 are being met. From this effort a determination is to be
1
presented to the Board prior to the June 1, 2010 workshop meeting. The
resolution to approve was tabled.

Based on the issues presented by the application of 1571 6th Street, when possible
the Executive Director should present a recommendation to the Board on each
application.
