I I I CASE # RESOLUTION TO REQUEST CONTINUANCE FOR AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR A TEMPORARY OFFICE STRUCTURE; CASE OF TRANSWEST, INC. By: Jon Scalzo, Planning Consultant Background: On July 24, 1997, the City issued an interim use permit to Transwest, Inc. (aka Communicor) at 6100 Industry Avenue N.W. for the utilization of a 720 square foot modular office on the property for a one year period. That permit expired on August 1, 1998 and the applicants requested permission to use the temporary office structure for one more year to complete their assessment of space needs for expansion or relocation. The following items are enclosed for your information: 1. Site location map 2. Structure Detail 3. Resolution for approval Observations: The applicants are requesting another Interim Use Permit to utilize the modular office structure until Transwest's lease of the property terminates (October 31, 2003). City Code requires a new public hearing and re-issuance of a permit upon expiration of the original permit. State law requires that action must be taken on an application within sixty (60) days, commencing when the City receives a completed application and applicable fees are paid. If action is not taken within sixty (60) days then the application will automatically be considered approved. However, State law does say that a city can extend the sixty (60) day limit for an additional sixty (60) days due to the need for additional staff review. Recommendation: Staff recommends continuing this application until the City is able to review and adopt new text supporting the processing and applications of interim use permits. The text amendment will require recommendations by the Planning Commission and action by the City Council. Staff will be requesting a sixty (60) day extension of the applicant's submission to allow for processing of the text amendment. CC: 12/14/99
