Staff Review

The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for outdoor storage for the business located at 2050 West Park Avenue. The property has a Future Land Use Designation of Industrial and is in the I-1-Light Industrial Zoning District.

The subject property is located on West Park Avenue and currently is being used as a commercial/industrial building. The owner/applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for a shipping container type storage unit to be located on the property to the northeast of the current principal structure for use as storage for lawn service equipment. Outdoor storage with the I-1 Light Industrial 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 and found the request is in compliance with the current requirements with the exception of subsection “b” which states “No outdoor storage may be placed in any required front yard, parking areas, fire zones, loading zones, or access lanes. The applicant is requesting a waiver from this condition. 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. Environmental Services reviewed the application submittal and has no objection to the requested use. The Fire Inspector reviewed the application and has no comments or concerns.
