£ There shall be no storage of hazardous materials, as defined by the zoning ordinance Section 902 of this Ordinance, within any such container. The applicant is not requesting any changes to this requirement and the conditions approved in 2008 are still in effect. 7. .Outdoor storage areas must be kept in an orderly condition, permitting vehicular access to all materials or equipment. Lanes at least twenty (20) feet in width shall be required to meet this standard. No portion of the outdoor storage shall be more than fifty (50) feet from any access lane or other drive aisle, nor shall it block access to hydrants, fire sprinklers, or other fire- fighting equipment. Access needs to be clear and maintained. 8. Except for construction equipment which is stored or parked in its most compact condition, outdoor storage may not exceed eight (8) feet in height as measured from the ground on which it is Located. Storage on top of the storage container in the rear yard will need to be removed. Otherwise, the other equipment and /or materials on the property comply with this provision. 9. The storage area shall he fenced and fully screened from adjoining non- industrial property, park and trail areas, and public right of way. Where properly fenced and screened, outdoor storage may encroach into the required side or rear yard setback area. Gates may be excluded from this screening requirement as provided for in Section 903.020.0.6. Landscaping already exists on the east and west side of the property to screen the side yard storage areas. However, the west side screening is in need of attention. 10. Screening shall consist of masonry walls or fencing constructed of wood or vinyl, as well as landscaping. Metal fencing may be used where landscaping provides a complete year -round screen and is irrigated to ensure survivability in compliance with Section 903.020.E (Fences) of this Ordinance. See above comments. 11. Waste or recyclable material shall he contained in a refuse container. All such containers shall be stored within a screened enclosure within the rear yard of the property. The applicant is not proposing any changes. Both containers are located in the side yard of the property. 12. The storage area shall be paved with asphalt, concrete, or other material approved by the City Council. The storage areas are a combination of paved and gravel, consistent with this requirement. 13. The storage area shall not occupy any space required for conformity to the parking regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Based on the site plan submitted, the trailer appears to limit access to four (4) of the required parking spaces. The CUP issued in 1999 required 16 parking spaces on the property. Those spaces are established on the site and are itt compliance with city codes. However, since 1999 some of the uses inside the building have changed and based on the current renters 21 parking spaces would be required. It would be staff's recommendation that the property owner enter into an agreement with the City for Proof of Parking on the site. An updated site plan was submitted showing evidence of ability to construct five (5) additional spaces on the property at some future date in compliance with zoning and building code standards should the need arise. These five (5) additional spaces, plus the four (4) being obstructed by the trailer would be used in the Proof of Parking with the 12 remaining parking spaces being sufficient at this time. 4
