Mobile Mini is the lessee of the site. The letter did not include any <br />proposed change to the site operations but rather contended that they should be allowed <br />to remain as a legal no nconforming use. <br /> <br />Staff reviewed the letter and their stated position with the City Attorney. A response <br />letter was sent on July 16, 2013 from Joe Langel, City Attorney reiterating that the use of <br />the property for outside storage is not grandfathered in. The letter provided 14 days to <br />provide us with information on how they intend to modify the use to bring it into <br />compliance with the zoning ordinance . <br /> <br />Staff has not received any additional information from the lessee or the property owner. <br /> <br />Requested Cou ncil Direction <br /> <br />Staff is requesting council directio n to either continue enforcement to abate the use or <br />proceed with an ordinance amendment to allow outdoor storage as a permitted principal <br />use on the property. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
