APPROVE SITE PLAN AND CUP FOR BUILDING ADDITION AT 15817 FOREST BOULEVARD (GUSSET DESIGN) Rick Burr requested a site plan approval for an addition to an existing building located at 15587 Forest Boulevard North. The current use is a legal non -conforming use because the property is zoned General Business (C-2) and the use is industrial. The existing building totals 5,740 square feet and is used for office, manufacturing and warehousing. The building addition totals 12,060 square feet and will be used for warehousing equipment utilized by the business. In order to build the addition the applicant has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to expand the legal non -conforming use. The CUP can only be approved with findings that the expansion will reduce the impacts of the legal non -conforming use on the surrounding properties The applicant has stated that the exterior storage currently outside of the building will be put inside with the building addition; thus, reducing the impact of the industrial use on the surrounding properties. At its August 9, 2007 meeting the Planning Commission reviewed the site plan and the conditional use permit and recommended approval. The approving vote was 3-0-1. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved Resolution 2007-41 for the site plan and Resolution 2007-42 for the conditional use permit.
