• AGENDA ITEM V C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: September 13, 2000 TOPIC: Site & Building Plan Review PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit Central Suburban, Inc., 416 Lilac Drive BACKGROUND The application includes a site plan and conditional use permit. The applicant, Central Suburban, Inc., proposes to build an addition on the existing building and use the site for its land development and construction business. All site and building plans for industrial uses requires a site plan review. The existing building is a pole barn. The expansion of a pole barn in an industrial district requires a conditional use permit. Central Suburban will use the fenced yard for storage of trucks, equipment, and material such as pipe, manholes, culverts, lumber, sand, gravel, and the like. Under the current zoning ordinance, outdoor storage also requires a CUP in the GI zone. However, the site has been used for outdoor storage of equipment and material until recently. When an existing use that was in place when the ordinance was adopted would require a CUP under the ordinance, the City policy has been to consider that use as having a " grandfathered" CUP. Even so, for the protection of both the property owner and the City, it is a good idea to define the conditions of the grandfathered conditional use to avoid confusion in the future. The conditional use then will be recorded and there will be no question about the right to conduct the specified activites. Staff recommends that the City takes the opportunity to do this now. Therefore, the CUP will cover both the building expansion and an amendment to the grandfathered outdoor storage CUP.
