Staff Review
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for an Outdoor Storage Use to be added to his business use in order to possibly rent space to an Impound Company within the I-1, Light Industrial zoning district for the property located on 125 North Old County Road. The subject property is located on the west side of N. Old County Road and the parcel is currently being used as a salvage yard, this use is grandfather as a non-conforming use. An Outdoor Storage use is listed as conditional within Article III, Section 21-33.05, Table III -3. As such, the additional outdoor storage use by adding an impound lot will require a conditional use permit within the I-1 Light Industrial zone.
Staff has reviewed the three subsections within Section 21-92.04 for Conditional Use Permits and found the request is in compliance with the current requirements. Section 21-92.04 states “In order to approve a CUP the P & ZB must make a finding of fact that the Conditional Use Permit:
a. Is consistent with applicable land development regulations for the zoning district in which the property is located;
b. Is compatible with existing and proposed uses in the adjacent area; and
c. Meets the Concurrency Management System requirements described in Article XI.”
Staff has reviewed the subject property with the surrounding land uses and zoning districts and has found the use compatible with the proposed uses in the adjacent area. City staff believe the current layout of the site is conducive to having the Outdoor Storage use and meets the Transportation Concurrency Management System. The site will have access to utility connections to water and sewer as well as trash services. At this time reclaimed is not available.
