Kroger is requesting approval of a specific use permit to allow a tent for the purpose of
promoting retail sales. The tent is proposed to be approximately 20 feet by 30 feet and
is proposed to be located in the central parking area of the Village Center shopping
center, estimated to reduce the number of parking spaces on the site by 8 to 12
spaces. A tent permit application is required to be submitted to the Building
Inspections Division demonstrating that the tent will meet current building and fire
regulations. This event has been held successfully for five consecutive years. The
applicant is respectfully requesting this specific use permit be approved for a period of
three years unless the scope of the event changes. The Property Manager has
submitted a letter noting their support for the proposed tent sale event for a period of
three consecutive years (ending in 2014).
Duration of tent: February 11 through February 16, 2012 – 6 days
Hours of Operation: 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily
Parking: The required parking for this lot is 627 spaces and the
provided parking is 655 spaces. The tent sale is estimated
to reduce parking by up to 12 spaces, leaving 643 spaces.
Signs: One 36 sq. ft. (12 ft. by 3 ft.) banner sign on the tent.
A specific use permit for this purpose can be approved for no more than two events
per lot per calendar year with a minimum of 60 days between events.
