The purpose of the PUD was allow <br /> HOM Furniture to occupy the northern two-thirds of the building and allow the remaining <br /> area to be occupied by specified retail uses which generate low traffic volumes. For <br /> various reasons, the approved 2007 plan was never implemented. <br /> HOM Furniture now wishes to pursue a new concept for furniture sales, buying more in <br /> bulk to provide better values to customers. The concept requires a significant amount <br /> of warehouse space such as that available upon the subject site. <br /> The current proposal differs from that previously approved as follows: <br /> 1. A weekend furniture clearance center/warehouse entitled "Dock 86" is proposed <br /> to occupy the northern two thirds of the building. <br /> 2. The exterior design differs from that previously proposed. <br /> 3. Allowed outdoor sales items (previously limited to patio sales) are to be <br /> expanded. <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
