In 1990, Mr. Davis determined that an expansion of his warehouse would be necessary. The subject property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and agriculture is a permitted use in that zone. However, the City Code definition of agricultural uses includes flower nurseries, but without buildings. Therefore, Mr. Davis' operation was determined non-conforming and it was necessary for the City to issue a Conditional use permit to. allow the expansion of the warehouse. That permit stated that any future expansions or additions of permanent structures to the facility would require amendments to the conditional use permit. Notification: In accordance with State Statute, City Staff attempted to notify all owners of property within 350 feet of the Subject Property or the request and public hearing. Observations: On October 13, 2000, the City received an application fi.Om Mr. Wayne Da[is for an amendment to his conditional use permit to add a 528 square foot structure to the site in which to house the boiler for the greenhouse heating system. The proposed structure will be sited between some existing greenhouses and will be hardly visible from the public road. The exterior wails and roof are proposed to consist of a rigid polycarbonate material like the surrounding greenhouses. The addition of the structure to the property will not violate the 35% lot coverage restriction. The expanded use will not require any additional site pavement or landscaping. The Planning Commission met on November 6 and conducted a public heating. There were no written or verbal comments submitted to the Commission.
