The site is currently zoned B-3, General Business District. The subject site currently contains a two buildings, an outdoor sales and display area and parking areas for company vehicles and employees and customers. The applicant has previously been granted approval of a PUD-CUP to allow an outdoor sales and display area to the west of their building. Currently, outdoor storage issues have become an enforcement issue. The applicant has previously indicated that they expect to construct a new building on the property to contain storage materials, however this project continues to be a future consideration. As such, the applicant is seeking a modification of previous PUD approvals to include an area of outdoor storage on the property, a revised fencing and screening plan, and a modified outdoor display area, pending the future building construction. City staff believes it to be appropriate to rezone the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD) District in order to better manage and regulate the multiple uses and buildings contained on the site. The expectation is that any outdoor storage to be considered on the property would be a temporary allowance (if granted), and a PUD zoning would be control the short-term and long-term uses on the site.
