This issue has been raised over concern that the City's allowance <br />of outdoor storage in the Industrial Park District needs to be reviewed to be sure that <br />the City is adequately addressing this use. As noted in the attached materials, Little <br />Canada allows outdoor storage by CUP, up to 75% of the building size, and requires it <br />to meet building setbacks and be paved. <br />One of the issues that raised some concern was whether the City should consider <br />requiring all storage to be behind the front building wall, regardless of setback. It was <br />noted that the Orius project held the storage area to a 40 foot setback from Spruce <br />Street, but because of the building's large setback from Spruce, the storage area still <br />ended up in front of the building. <br />Please review the attached information on other communities with the intent to discuss <br />changes, if any, the Planning Commission would like to recommend to the City Council <br />for consideration. <br />pc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Steve Westerhaus <br />Terry Maurer <br />Greg Schroeder <br />37- <br />
