Planning Division Manager Jason Bench said a business owner wanted a large storage building behind existing buildings, which the zone's two-story and 10-foot setback rules effectively prevent. Staff proposed allowing one storage-only, one-story accessory building up to 15 percent of a primary building's floor area, behind the primary building and without water or sewer. Council Member David Spencer called the limits anti-business, wanted a higher percentage and said he did not like the district's current boundaries; Council Member Terry Peterson agreed businesses need support. Development Services Director Ryan Clark said the State Street districts came from extensive public outreach. A business representative said the storage was vital to operations. Mayor Brunst moved to continue the hearing to July 14 so the parties could meet.
