Here are a few of the items the commission decided Monday.

PHARMACY APPLICATION

The Planning Commission approved a plan to put a Sav-On Drugs with

a drive-thru at 1150 and 1170 Baker St. Tait & Associates submitted

the application on behalf of property owner C.J. Segerstrom & Sons to

build the drug store where a Wendy’s restaurant and the closed Farr’s

Stationers now sit in the Mesa North Shopping Center.

The application included a request to sell alcohol for off-site

consumption.

The item came before the commission because it sits close to a

residential area. Before submitting the application, S.J. Segerstrom

& Sons conducted a series of neighborhood meetings to discuss the

plan with residents.

WHAT IT MEANS

Planners can go ahead with the 14,868-square-foot project.

ZONING STANDARDS

The commission approved two zoning code amendments and sent the

rest back to staff members for revision.

The two approved amendments pertain to mobile homes. One changes

the definition of mobile homes to include recreational vehicles when

they are used as a permanent residence.

The other revises the definition of a mobile home lot, excluding

lots where the park owner owns the mobile home sitting on the lot.

That will prevent those lots from being affected by the city’s mobile

home park conversion procedures.

Other proposed zoning code amendments were sent back for further

review.

WHAT IT MEANS

The City Council will now decide what to do with the commission’s

recommended changes to the zoning code.

The other items will be looked at again by the planning

commission, which will have some new members when it comes back for

its next meeting.
