By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Earlier this summer, Johnson Holdings, Inc. received site plan approval to construct and operate a bank on the former public works site. Johnson Holdings has submitted an application fo~ an interim use permit to utilize a 14' x 60' modular office structure at 14150 St. Francis Bl~d. N.W. The temporary structure would be used for the conduct of bank business whil~ the permanent structure is under construction. The following a) b) c) d) e) Notification: items are enclosed for your information: Site location map Site plan Planning Commission public hearing and regular meeting minutes dated August 6, 1996 Findings of Fact//0408 Proposed interim use permit In accordance with State law, Properties within 350 feet of the subject property were notified of the public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission on August 6. Observations: Because of numerous requests from residents and local businesses, Johnson Holdings is requesting the u{e of a modular office structure for a 4 to 6 month period in order to begin business operations on the site while their permanent building is under construction. The City has previously granted perm/ts for temporary office structures in the commercial and industrial areas for limited periods of time to accommodate the particular needs of the businesses. At the public hearing on August 6, comments were submitted to the Planning Commission that granting such a permit 'would give the Landmark Bank an unfair business advantage over the new ban}c on the east side of T.H. #47. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request. On August 27, 1996, the request was submitted to City Council for approval and positive findings of fact Were adopted, but the motion to approve the request failed. Staff was directed to place the case on the next Council agenda for reconsideration. Findings of Fact//0408 adopted by City Council on August 27 are positive. If the Council is inclined to deny the request on September 9, then the previous Findings of Fact 0408 should be rescinded. Council should then take action to amend and adopt a negative findings of fact. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the interim use permit.
