• • • Full site and building plans are required for CUP applications. We received only sparse information in the submittal. We received grading, utility, and landscaping plans on April 3. This did not allow for a complete site plan review for the P & Z meeting. However, as a courtesy to the applicant we have reviewed the CUP application without the site and building plans. As stated above, our understanding is that the applicant wanted to find out if the outdoor storage was possible before committing to designing the building, grading, utilities, and other elements. Since the proposal clearly does not comply with outdoor storage requirements, staff is comfortable making a recommendation on the storage CUP alone. This report does not include a site and building plan review or recommendation. Any such application must include complete submittal information and be reviewed according to the City's deadline and meeting schedule. Surrounding Nonconforming Uses: Properties on the north and south of the subject site have outdoor storage. These are nonconforming uses. This means that the uses existed prior to the change in zoning requirements that would prohibit such uses. They have a right to continue as they were before the change. However, the City is not obligated to nor should it allow new uses that do not comply with its ordinances. OPTIONS 1. Deny the CUP application because it does not comply with City requirements, as explained in the staff report. 2. Approve the CUP application. RECOMMENDATION Option 1 This report is based on the following submittals: • "Site Plan", 3/6/02, received 3/8/02 (one vellum sheet, no copies submitted) • letter from John Christiansen, Centennial Schools, received 3/8/02 • fax letter from Shingobee Builders, received 3/12/02 • Application form, received 3/8/02
