11. Parking of employee vehicles shall be in compliance with Section 903.050 of this Ordinance. 12. There shall be no open outdoor storage of damaged emergency vehicles, vehicle parts or clips of emergency vehicles. 13. Waste or recyclable material shall be contained in a refuse container. All such containers shall be stored within a screened enclosure within the rear yard of the property. 14. No Emergency Vehicle Repair may occur in any building that is not in full compliance with applicable building and fire codes. 15. Parking/Storage area is black top or concrete. 16. The storage area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential uses and districts in compliance with Section 903.020.G of this Ordinance. 17. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right-of-way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with Sections 902.020.I of this Ordinance. 18. The Emergency Vehicles Storage Area does not take up parking space as required for conformity to this Ordinance. 19. Storage is screened from view of the public right-of-way in compliance with Section 903.020.G of this Ordinance and must be located behind the rear building line of the principal building. Depending on the height of the equipment and/or materials to be stored, additional screening may be required. Gates may be excluded from this screening requirement as provided for in Section 903.020.O.6. (Note: Section 903.020.O.6 says “In Industrial Districts, gates which are part of a security fence enclosure need not be screened, provided that the gate is no greater than twenty-four (24) feet in length, and no more than one such gate is allowed to be unscreened per street frontage.” The site plan has a gate shown on both the west and east side of the building. The applicant notes that both gates will be screened, but the applicant does not indicate materials that will be used for screening of the gates. It should be noted that chain link with slats is no longer an acceptable form of screening under city code. Therefore, staff would recommend that as a requirement of approval the screening added shall comply with provision of 903.020.G.) 20. The provisions of Section 921.010.C of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. Recommendation – Staff having conducted an on-site inspection of the operations for Everest Emergency Vehicles, Inc. believes that this use is a low-impact, industrial type business. Furthermore, the draft provision of the text amendment set a clear distinction that this use is for emergency vehicles only and is not to include any type of motor vehicle activities. Therefore, staff believes this new use is compatible with the I-P, Industrial Park District intent.
