Green Valley Rd, and whether commercial and private vehicles could be parked and/or stored in compliance with City Code~ tn an effort to alleviate some of these concerns, Mr. Gu'zzo agreed to store the boom truck off- site. However, thrm~ghout this summer and fall, the City, has received complaints on a regular basis concerning the boom truck being parked at the property, Furthermore, City, Staff received a complaint in September stating that the business activities seemed to be intensifying and that there was manufacturing occurring welt past the permitted time of 5 pm. Both the Planning Commission and City Council had some concerns regarding the compatibility of this type of business in a residential area when Mr. Guzzo originally requested the Interim Use Permit in April of this year. However, the Planning Commission and City Council were concerned that denying that request may force the company out of business. Therefore, the City Council approved a six (6) month.Interim Use Permit to provide Mr. Guzzo an opportunity to either restructure the business so that it complies with City Code or to relocate the business to a commercial sim. The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the request for another Interim Use Permit on December 1, 2005. Several concerns were raised by residents including increased traffic on Green Valley Road generated by this business, the fact that business activities seem to have intensified over the past six (6) months, some materials are now being stored outside, and that work has continued well past 5pm, which said time was specified in the original Interim Use Permit. Recommendation: Both City Staff and the Planning Commission feel that this business is not compatible with the residential surroundings. The Planning Commission felt that this request should be denied; however, they also realized that a certain amount of time would be necessary to facilitate the relocation of the business and during said time, the conditions of an Interim Use Permit should be in tact. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended adopting negative findings but approving an Interim Use Permit until March-31, 2006 specifically to allow Mr. Guzzo time to relocate the business. If the City Council is inclined to approve an Interim Use Permit, whether it is for a short period of time to allow Mr. Guzzo to relocate the business or for the requested duration of eighteen (18) months, positive findings will need to be adopted. However, if the City Council concurs that this use is not compatible with the surrounding area, the City Attorney has advised that rather than approving the request for a short period of time to allow the business to be relocated, the request should simply be denied and by motion, declare a specific date by which time the business must be relocated. City Staff has drafted a resolution that not only denies this request, but also specifies March 31, 2006 as the date by which time the business must be relocated (the date recommended by the Plarming Commission). -324-
