Agenda - Planning Commission - 04/05/2018

Home

employees come to the property two (2) times a day to drop off and/or pick up equipment and do not conduct any work on the property. Option #2: Recommend denial of the home occupation permit. This matter was originally brought to the City's attention through the code enforcement program. Concerns have been raised related to vehicular traffic, outdoor storage, and loading and unloading of equipment on the public roadway. The City's off-street parking ordinance does allow one to bring commercial motor vehicles and/or equipment to their residential property under certain criteria and while certain corrective actions are needed to comply with this ordinance, it seems like they could be accomplished fairly easily. Option #3: If the Planning Commission identifies other measures that it believes would help mitigate any concerns related to this request, it could direct Staff to modify the Home Occupation Permit to include those conditions prior to action by the City Council. Funding Source: All costs associated with the requested permit are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: While Staff understands the concerns that have been raised, based on the ordinances currently in effect, Staff would recommend approval of the request based on the proposed findings of fact and the conditions listed in Resolution #2018-066. A Conditional Use Permit will afford the opportunity to allow the Owner to make appropriate corrections and amend the business operation to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Should the operation prove to continue to be disruptive to the residential neighborhood, the City has the opportunity to revoke the permit and the operation would need to cease on the Property. Staff would recommend a review of the case at the end of this summer.By agreeing to these terms, the Owner must also agree that the fact that an accessory building is constructed is not grounds to retaining the Home Occupation Permit should be be revoked. Action: Motion to recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution #2018-066 issuing a home occupation permit to operate Tracer Landscaping and Concrete, LLC on the property located at 5751 177th Avenue NW based on those findings of fact and listed conditions for approval.
