Background <br /> In July 2020, staff observed illegal outdoor storage of semi-trailers, signage and <br /> construction without a permit at 2300 Main Street, Glamos Wire, Inc. Staff reached out to <br /> the property owner in August 2020 with a courtesy call and email. After no response, <br /> staff followed up with letters and emails in September, October and November 2020. In <br /> December 2020 and March 2021, the applicant submitted incomplete land use <br /> applications. Staff continued to work with the property owner until a complete land use <br /> application was submitted in May 2021. <br /> Zoning <br /> The property is zoned LI, Light Industrial. Open and Outdoor storage is allowed with an <br /> approved conditional use permit. This includes the outdoor storage of semi-trailers as <br /> regulated by Zoning Ordinance Section 1007.043(16) Exterior Storage (b). <br /> 3. Within an industrial zoning district, the exterior storage of semi-trailers <br /> accessory to the principal use may be allowed by conditional use permit according to <br /> §1007.120 and §1007.121. Semi-trailers connected to semi-tractors queuing for <br /> loading or unloading shall be considered truck parking and be exempt from the <br /> outdoor storage conditional use permit. <br /> Staff has observed as many as 20+ semi-trailers parked on the south side of the building. <br /> We were first told the semi-trailers were owned by Glamos Wire, Inc. but then learned <br /> they were owned by another company and Glamos Wire, Inc. was leasing outdoor storage <br /> space to them. If approved, the outdoor storage of any semi-trailers, vehicles, equipment, <br /> materials etc. shall be accessory to the principal use. No off-site user storage shall be <br /> allowed. <br /> Surrounding Zoning and Land Use <br /> Direction Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use <br /> GB General Commercial <br /> North Business (McDonald's & Main Commercial <br /> Street Shoppes) <br /> South LI, Light Industrial Vacant Industrial Industrial <br /> Industrial <br /> East LI, Light Industrial (Laborers Training Industrial <br /> Center) <br /> West GB, General Vacant Commercial Commercial <br /> Business <br /> This I-35E, Main Street and Otter Lake Road corridor has been the focus of high value, <br /> high quality commercial and industrial development for both the City and property <br /> 2 <br />
