The subject property is zoned BW, Business/Warehousing and consists of approximately 24.6 acres. The preliminary plat is proposing to plat four commercial lots ranging from 11.23 acres to 3.3 acres. Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to adopt Resolution #01-01-024 granting final plat approval to Gateway North Industrial Park No. 5. Motion carried.

Case #11: Request for an Interim Use Permit for a Temporary Office Structure; Case of Transwest, Inc. Community Development Director Frolik stated that in 1997, the City issued an Interim Use Permit to Transwest (a.k.a. Communicor) for the use of a temporary office structure for a one year period. In 1998, the City renewed the permit for another year. In 1999, the applicant requested another Interim Use Permit to utilize the modular office structure until Transwest's lease of the property terminates (October 31, 2003). Their request was based on the fact that the site at 6100 Industry Avenue would not meet their needs as a permanent site beyond the termination of their lease and, therefore, there were no plans to expand or rebuild on the subject property. Due to the lack of Interim Use Permit language in City Code, the request from Transwest was put on hold until City Code was amended accordingly. The request from Transwest was then resumed and forwarded to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and recommendation on July 25, 2000. Because the site is so visible from the residential neighborhood on the north side of County Road #116 and in lieu of the extended time frame for the use of the temporary office structure, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request contingent upon initiation of a screening plan parallel to County Road #116.
