The applicant is <br />proposing to screen the exterior storage and outdoor training area. Staff is comfortable with the <br />proposed location of the outdoor storage and an outdoor gas/electric training area. <br />The comprehensive plan identifies this property as Business Park (BP). There are residential <br />properties to the north and south of the building. The character of the area is for the most part <br />industrial. There are buffers of woodland and proposed landscaping between the site and the <br />residential uses. There will be other business park uses that will be developed on the north of the <br />proposed Xcel site. It's in staff s opinion that the proposed use is compatible with the character <br />of the area. <br />5. CONCLUSION: <br />Staff finds that the proposal meets all the requirements necessary for the City to approve a site <br />plan and conditional use permit amendment as outlined in the City's Comprehensive Land Use <br />regulations, if the appropriate conditions are met in the attached resolutions. <br />6. RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends approval of the site plan and conditional us6 permit amendment for Xcel <br />Energy Inc. for the property located at 13620 Fenway Boulevard North. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />
