SUBMITTED BY: Steve Osguthorpe, AICP, Community Development Director (509) 575-3533 Joe Caruso, Code Administration Manager (509) 575-6257 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Steve Weise, business owner of Leading Force Energy & Design Center, is requesting a Right - of -Way Use permit to install an awning with solar panels overhanging in the right of way in front of 17 North 3rd Street. Mr. Weise has also applied for a separate right of way use permit to install a sign over the right of way. The property is located within the Central Business District (CBD) zoning district. Right -of -Way Use permits are processed under the provisions of Chapter 8.20, which requires review by the code administration manager and final approval by the City Council. The permit also requires liability insurance as prescribed in Section 8.20.060, which will be provided to the Office of Code Administration prior to issuance of any permit. Approved permits are valid for a period of one year, renewable annually. That allows the City opportunity to review any public health/safety/welfare issues that may need to be addressed in subsequent years.
