CUP <br />amendment, and variance requests. <br />Staff provided a background on the requests submitted by Spencer Grundhofer on behalf of <br />Grundhofer's Old Fashioned Meats located at 15449 Forest Boulevard North. The applicant is <br />requesting approval of a site plan for an approximately 2,450 square foot addition to the existing 2,880 <br />square foot building on site. The existing buildings on site are legal nonconforming in regard to the side <br />yard setback requirement and the applicant is requesting a variance from the side yard setback <br />requirements for the proposed addition. The applicant is proposing 12 feet, where 30 feet is required <br />by ordinance. The applicant is also requesting approval of a CUP amendment. <br />In 2006, the City Council approved a CUP to allow the meat processing facility as an accessory use to <br />the meat market. Meat markets are a permitted use in the C-2 zoning district, but meat processing <br />facilities require a CUP. The meat processing facility may only be accessory to the meat market and <br />may not exceed in floor area of the meat market. <br />Staff provided an analysis on the requests and found that they meet the requirements outlined in the <br />City Code and zoning regulations necessary to approve the site plan, variance, and CUP amendment. <br />
