That the Subject Property is zoned E-2 Employment District; that the properties to the north and east are zoned E-1 Employment District; the property to the west is zoned E-2 Employment District and the property to the south (across the train tracks) is zoned H-1 Highway 10 Business District. 3. That the Subject Property is approximately 4 acres in size. 4. That City Code Section 117-116 (E-2 Employment District) permits open and outside storage as an accessory use of a property provided that (1) storage area is surfaced with concrete or bituminous and (2) the use does not take up required parking spaces or loading area. 5. That the CITY has waived the surfacing requirement in several instances within the Employment Districts due to potential damage from heavy equipment operation. 6. That the Paving Surface would be located on the south (rear), west and northwest portions of Subject Property. 7 That existing trees and brush on the northwest edge of the property will help screen the Paving Surface somewhat from McKinley St.
