principle building, as long as it's adequately screened from view of adjacent
properties. The applicant is proposing to screen the exterior storage areas. Staff is
comfortable with the proposed location of the outdoor storage area. Additional
landscaping may be required to screen the locations on the east side of the
property.
3. The comprehensive plan identifies this property as Business Park (BP). There are
residential properties to the north 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 south of the proposed site. It's in staff s opinion that
the proposed use is compatible with the character of the area.
