Parcels impacted by the Highway 10 Access Planning Study are allowed <br /> the use of gravel parking surface for a portion of their off-street parking/outdoor storage needs acknowledging <br /> the ultimate acquisition of impacted areas.The site is allowed a gravel parking/storage area not to exceed 150% <br /> of the paved area. The site currently has 66,000 square feet of paved/impervious surface area (including <br /> building), allowing up to 99,000 square feet of gravel area. The proposed total area of gravel surface is only <br /> 92,000 square feet. Note: rough calculations were used in this analysis. The area in question is well below the <br /> threshold.Detailed civil engineering calculations are included in the civil engineering plans. <br /> Screening. City Code does require of the gravel parking/storage area.The Owner shall install some degree of <br /> vegetative screening for the expansion area, as well as the previous expansion area.The previous obligation is <br /> not yet met. <br /> Setback from Rights of Wa . City Code requires a twenty(20) foot setback from rights of way.This area shall <br /> also be clear of any outside storage or off-street parking.The site is currently in violation of this provision.This <br /> violation must be corrected as part of this request.The site plan must also be amended to include some physical <br /> improvement at the setback line, such as short fencing or temporary curbing. <br /> Setbacks from Stormwater Pond. City Code requires that the gravel surface maintain a five (5) foot setback <br /> from drainage ponds. <br /> Interim Use Permit. An Interim Use Permit shall be required. The new Interim Use Permit is proposed to <br /> expire when the appropriate public agency takes action to acquire the property. The Applicant shall be <br /> responsible for the costs of restoration.The City has the option to include a termination clause in five(5)years, <br /> consistent with City Code and past practice for Interim Use Permits.The Permit could be extended at the end <br /> of the term if this is the route chosen by the Planning Commission and City Council.The ultimate trigger for <br /> termination is the need for acquisition for Highway 10 purposes or a decision that the parcel will not be needed <br />
