MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 9, 2019 - 5 - give up the outdoor storage in the side yard, he could agree to approving the variance. He noted that he also agrees that the outdoor storage code should be looked at. The Planning Associate explained that the variance would be specific to this parcel and it runs with the land, so if a new user came in, they would be able to continue the same amount of outdoor storage. Johnson moved approval of the Variance as requested based on these findings of fact: • The narrowness and irregular shape of the site are contributing factors not created by the land owner which lend to inefficiencies in maximization of lot as described in the I-P District. • The redeveloped intended use of the site is designed to meet the intent of the I-P District and by granting the variance for additional outdoor storage up to 60% of lot area. This is considered a reasonable use of the parcel given the first finding with lot irregularities. • The natural buffer of the railroad tracks along the west edge of the parcel creates a buffer of screening beyond the code requirements and provides further assurance that there will be no negative impacts on the properties to the west by the proposed use. Buesing asked if they could put a building construction timing condition on the approval. The Planning Associate stated that those types of conditions would go in the Interim Use Permit. Motion seconded by Schwalbach. Motion carried 6 – 1. Westadt. The Planning Associate noted that she will work on specifics for the Interim Use Permit and bring back language for review. Johnson stated she would recommend in the time frame when Buck Blacktop is moving off the site and On-Site is moving on, that the amount of outdoor storage does not exceed the grandfathered outdoor storage amount.
