Park Dedication Park Dedication is not required for commercial and industrial developments. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Amendment The applicant is proposing to expand outdoor storage and an outdoor gas/electric training area. Since the area is expanding and additional property was added to the parcel, a conditional use permit amendment is required. The spirit and intent of the ordinance is to allow exterior storage larger than the principle building, as long as it's adequately screened from view of adjacent properties. The applicant is proposing to screen the exterior storage and outdoor training area. Staff is comfortable with the proposed location of the outdoor storage and an outdoor gas/electric training area. The comprehensive plan identifies this property as Business Park (BP). There are residential properties to the north and south of the building. The character of the area is for the most part industrial. There are buffers of woodland and proposed landscaping between the site and the residential uses. There will be other business park uses that will be developed on the north of the proposed Xcel site. It's in staff's opinion that the proposed use is compatible with the character of the area.
