In 1990, Mr. Davis <br />determined that an expansion of his warehouse would be necessary. The subject property ~is <br />zoned R-l Rural Residential and agriculture is a permitted use in that zone. However, the City <br />Code definition of agriculture uses includes flower nurseries, but without buildings. Therefore, <br />Mr. Davis's operation was determined non-conforming and it was necessary for the City to issue <br />a conditional use permit to allow the expansion of the warehouse. That permit stated that any <br />future expansions or additions of permanent structures to the facility would require amendments <br />to the conditional use permit. On October 13, 2000, the City received an application from Mr. <br />Wayne Davis for an amendment to his conditional use permit to add a 528 square foot structure <br />to the site in which to house the boiler for the greenhouse heating system. The proposed <br />structure will be sited between some existing greenhouses and will be hardly visible from the <br />public road. The exterior walls and roof are proposed to consist of a rigid polycarbonate material <br />like the surrounding greenhouses. The addition of the structure to the property will not violate <br />the 35% lot coverage restriction. The expanded use will not require any additional site pavement <br />or landscaping. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/November 6, 2000 <br /> Page 3 of 21 <br /> <br />-9- <br /> <br /> <br />
