Case #2: Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow for Outdoor Storage on an Unimproved Surface in the R-l Residential District, Case of RV World, Inc. Ass't Community Development Dir/HRA Executive Dir. Frolik reviewed with the Council that RV World, Inc is currently storing RVs and travel trailers on an unimproved surface on a residentially zoned property that is currently used for agricultural purposes. They are using this site to store surplus merchandise that can be transported to their business locale on Highway 10 as merchandise there is depleted. They have applied for an interim use permit to allow for this activity for a period of five years. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the request at their May 4, 2006 meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approving an interim use permit until September 30, 2007. The request was then presented to Council at the May 23, 2006 meeting. Based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the findings of fact were drafted to support the request. However, after further discussion of this request at the Council meeting, the Council tabled the request and directed staff to revise the findings of fact to deny the request. Ms. Frolik stated, per Council's direction, staff has amended the findings of fact to deny the request for an interim use permit. Staff recommends adopting the findings of fact and denying the interim use permit. As part of this action, Council should specify a date by which the RVs and travel trailers should be removed from the site. City Council! June 13,2006 Page 6 of 26
