Plannang Case No: CU00-006 Applicant: ASC Properties, LLC Locataon: 4749 Old Highway 8 Applicable Regulations: • 1116,04, Subd. l: Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use requires a conditional use permit. Introduction: The applicant, ASC Properties, LLC., represented by Bruce Hasselbring, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for a 1,920 square-foot outdoor chain-link fenced enclosure in which to store materials used by the building's tenant, Ace Supply Company. The Zoning Code allows for outdoor storage in an industrial district, but only through a conditional use permit. The 1.97 acre lot bordering the City ofNew Brighton is improved with a two-story, 38,000 square-foot office-warehouse building. The Planning Commission recently approved a side-yard setback variance for the applicant when ASC took ownership of the property earlier this year. The outdoor storage is desired to alleviate the inherent difficulties of maneuvering 10 and 15-foot sections of PVC pipe inside the building. Discussion: Section 1125.01 of the Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission consider the possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of the Planning Corrunission shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: • Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. • The Geographical Area Involved • Whether such use will tend to or actually deprecicrte the crrea in which it is proposed. • The Character� of the Surroundirrg Ar•ea • The demonstr�ated need for such a use.
