City Council meeting of August 7, 2006 Page 3 APPROVE AMENDMENT TO CITY CODE TO ALLOW EXPANSION OF NON- CONFORMING BUSINESS Rick Burr sent the City a letter stating that he would like to expand his existing business, Gusset Design Inc. located at 15587 Forest Blvd. The property is zoned Commercial but the building use is Industrial. The structure was built before the zoning changed to a Commercial District so it is allowed to remain. According to the City Municipal Code, it states that the business is not allowed to expand because the use is nonconforming to the current zoning. This issue was brougbt to the EDA and City Council and both suggested having a meeting with the surrounding property owners to determine what their thoughts were on rezoning the properties back to industrial. Almost all property owners stated that they wanted to keep the current commercial zoning. Staff brought this subject back to the Council at its June 5, 2006 meeting and reported on the outcome of the meeting with the surrounding property owners. Council directed staff to draft an ordinance text amendment to allow the expansion of legal non -conforming commercial/industrial uses with a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing on July 13, 2006 and unanimously recommended approval. Adoption of the Consent Agenda adopted Ordinance 2006405 approving an amendment to City Code to allow expansion of legal nonconforming commercial/industrial uses with a CUP.
