Staff Review
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for outdoor storage of a Conex box for the business located at 105 South Ridgewood Avenue. The subject property is located on the east side of U.S.1 and currently is being used by Goodfellas Beer and Wine. The business currently has been using the property for outdoor storage since late 2024, so the Conditional Use permit will bring the business up to the current code. The property has a Future Land Use Designation of Commercial and is in the B-3 Highway Commercial Zoning District. Outdoor storage with the B-3 Highway Commercial zoning district is only allowed as a conditional use permit and must meet the regulations in the Land Development Code, Article III, Section 21-63.03- “Outdoor Storage and Display: Commercial/Industrial”.
Staff has reviewed the 11 subsections within Section 21-63.03 for Conditional Use Permits and found the request is in compliance with the current requirements. Staff has reviewed the subject property with the surrounding land uses and zoning districts and has found it compatible with the proposed uses in the adjacent area. Staff received no comments or concerns from other departments for the proposed conditional use.
