2. This use does not take up parking space or loading area as required for conformity to this chapter. 3. The provisions of section 117-51 are considered and satisfactorily met. [Section 117-51 is the Administration of Conditional Use Permits] 4. Open and outdoor storage shall be screened from adjacent properties and public right-of-way Staff believes that items 1 - 3 are satisfactorily met via the application. In regards to #1, the parking lot is paved behind the building. For condition #2, there appears to be adequate space for maneuvering, and there are no parking spaces behind the building, all customer parking is in front. Staff has included a condition of approval that the Fire Marshal must approve any storage behind the building to ensure there is adequate space for large emergency vehicles. The Applicant has already been in touch and working with the Fire Marshal to make sure the racks are spaced appropriately from the building to allow access to the sprinkler room. The Applicant has proposed outdoor storage racks behind the building and a fenced in storage area near the boulevard behind the building. No storage would be visible from Bunker Lake Boulevard. In terms of screening to meet Condition #4, the Applicant has proposed a fenced in area near 147th Ln NW (the internal road connection) behind the building. Staff has worked with the Applicant to propose just as must fencing and outdoor storage as is needed, and not any additional to reduce storage onsite. Photos of the items currently stored outside are attached to this case.The Applicant has very recently moved into the space, so the photos show some of the storage that would remain onsite, though there would be modifications, including wrapping of materials with weather -resistant packaging. Alternatives 1. Approve as proposed. This would allow for storage racks behind the building and a fenced in area near 147th Lane behind the building. All approvals would be contingent upon approval by Fire Marshal (for safety and maneuvering) and Building Official (for safety of the racks). Staff is supportive of this alternative. 2. Recommend modifications to the plan. Staff is also supportive of this alternative, based on discussion. 1. Could include additional screening such as trees in the grass area near 147th Lane behind the building or a more opaque fencing material. 2. Could include additional fencing around the storage behind the building. 3. Could include rearranging of the storage areas slightly, though the storage areas should remain behind the tenant's space in the multi -tenant building and should not impact other storefronts. 3. Table the request if there is specific information lacking. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with project review. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended the City Council grant a Conditional Use Permit for Team Packaging for outdoor storage with a public hearing at the Council Meeting with the conditions as drafted in the attached Resolution.
