Ayes: McRoberts, Moore, Schumann Abstain: Kleissler Motion carried. Gusset Design CUP and Site Plan for Addition The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of Gusset Design, 15587 Forest Boulevard North, for a site plan review and conditional use permit (CUP) for an addition to the existing building. The current building totals 5,740 square feet and is used for office, manufacturing, and warehousing. The requesting party proposes an addition that totals 12,060 square feet which would be used for warehousing equipment and supplies used by the business that is currently stored outside the existing building. Associate Planner Rachel Simone gave a presentation explaining the addition's uses and conformity to City of Hugo's Zoning Ordinances. Gusset Design has also applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to expand the legal non- conforming use. The proposed use is permissible by law and staff recommends approval of the permit. Applicant Rick Burr spoke of his expansion further and brought in samples of the exterior block he will be using not only on the new addition but his existing building as well. The aim is to modernize the look of the building and make the land more functional for his business. Rosenquist asked to clarify what is currently non -conforming about the business use. Associate Planner Rachel Simone explained that the property is zoned general business (C-2) and the use is industrial thus the need for the conditional use permit.
