Absent: Commissioner Cochrane. 6.PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS 6.01: Public Hearing: Code Amendment Pertaining to Outdoor Storage Performance Standards in the I-1 Zoning District Public Hearing Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 6:31 p.m. Presentation Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the Code Amendment as presented. Commissioner Musgrove asked for more information on the difference in size of the nonconforming area. Planning Manager Larson replied that the business would like to increase the nonconforming area by 20 percent. Commissioner Musgrove asked whether the nonconforming area could be moved without changing its nonconforming status. She asked whether there are guidelines on how much the nonconformity can change without losing its status. Planning Manager Larson explained that the nonconformity can change the area it is located in, but cannot increase. Commissioner Musgrove stated that with this change to four acres, it would seem to provide more options to the business while also providing the same benefit to other properties. Planning Manager Larson explained that this change would make the nonconformity legal, allowing the businesses to do what they would like within the parameters of City Code. Commissioner Musgrove asked if there would be a benefit to reduce the requirement to a lesser requirement, such as one-acre, or no threshold. Planning Manager Larson stated that there are quite a few small industrial properties that are not allowed any outdoor storage, but if that size were reduced or eliminated, they would be allowed to have outdoor storage.
