Access to the Subject Property would be from 141st Avenue NW. Refuse, including garbage or recycling trucks, would enter the Subject Property and stop on an in -ground scale before entering the transfer station. Route trucks may exit the Subject Property either back onto 141st Avenue or via McKinley Street to the south. All semi tractor trailers will exit the Subject Property onto McKinley Street. The exterior finish of the building expansion will match that of the existing finish, which consists of raked precast panels with a smooth, painted band. The building coverage, building height, and building setbacks all comply with the bulk standards of the E-2 Employment District. However, the proposed additional parking stalls for refuse trucks are within the required twenty (20) foot setback. A variance application to address this encroachment was submitted by the Applicant and, as previously noted, was approved by the Planning Commission on April4, 2019. Amended Conditional Use Permit The Applicant secured a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the construction and operation of a mixed solid waste and recycling transfer station in 2000 (approved by Resolution #00-04-104). The existing CUP allowed for up to a 17,100 square foot transfer station. The proposed expansion is 8,066 square feet, for a total building size of 16,137 square feet. This is within the parameters of the existing CUP. However, the proposed expansion differs from the original layout. Staff has carried over all the applicable terms from the original CUP and added an exhibit to identify the location of the transfer station. No other changes are proposed for the CUP. It should be noted that the Applicant has already obtained the necessary approvals from state agencies for this proposed expansion. The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on this request at their April4, 2019 meeting. There were several questions from a nearby business regarding the operation but no opposition was expressed. No other written or verbal comments were received regarding the request. Alternatives Alternative 1: Adopt Resolutions #19-082 and #19-083 granting approval of an Amended Conditional Use Permit, the Site Plan, and Development Agreement for for the proposed transfer station expansion. The action was supported by the Planning Commission. Alternative 2: Adopt a modified version(s) of Resolutions #19-082 and #19-083 granting approval of an Amended Conditional Use Permit, the Site Plan, and Development Agreement for the proposed transfer station expansion. Alternative 3: Deny the requested Amended Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends adopting Resolutions #19-082 and #19-083 granting approval of an Amended Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan and Development Agreement for the proposed expansion of the transfer station. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #19-082 granting approval of an Amended Conditional Use Permit and Resolution #19-083 granting approval of the Site Plan and Development Agreement for a proposed expansion of the transfer station on the Subject Property.
