Yes No X
acreage: 0.49
To: Add Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow outdoor storage for parking of 10
commercial trucks, 8 employee cars and one storage container with setback
waivers to fencing, required hard surface dust free parking, storage within the 50
ft. supplemental setback; site plan included
Land use Compatibility: Requested change is not compatible.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is not consistent.
Staff Recommendation: Approval with 3 year renewal
Background:
The subject property is located just north of the intersection of Neal & Decatur. The applicant is
requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow storage of large commercial trucks, personal vehicles
and a metal storage container without a primary use.
The subject block face is primarily industrial related with some outdoor storage. The blocks to the east are
single family lots and to the west is a metal recycling facility.
Conditional uses are those uses which are generally compatible with the permitted land uses in a given
zoning district, require individual review of their proposed location, design and configuration, and the
imposition of conditions in order to ensure the appropriateness of the use at a particular location.
While truck parking is not permitted in the "J" zoning district by right, allowing it by CUP with a site plan
and a time limit may help mitigate any neighborhood concerns, as well as give options for the CUP to be
revoked in the event of code violation convictions. The site is directly adjacent to a residential district, the
location of any truck parking areas, storage of metal containers and orientation of parking lot lighting will
likely have a negative impact to the neighborhood just to the east.

The case was continued at the November City Council meeting to allow more time for the applicant to
meet with the neighborhood.
This is part of an on -going Code Compliance case #18-844613 where two vacant lots are being used for
storage with no certificate of occupancy.
Through Ordinance 23609 effective March 29, 2019, the Conditional Use Permit allows for an unlimited
time period for the operation of a use unless otherwise approved by the City Council. If a time limit is
established for a Conditional Use Permit, the renewal of the CUP shall be considered through the public
hearing process and approved by the City Council. A CUP shall expire if no permitting action is taken
within six months of approval or cease of the use for six months. A CUP may be revoked through the
public hearing process if necessary after convictions of one or more code violations.
Per Section 4.407 (a), the following general rules apply to all conditional uses:
a) Conditional use permits in residential districts shall be limited to those uses designated "CUP" in
the Residential District Use Table in Chapter 4, Article 6, Section 4.603.
b) Approval of a conditional use permit shall authorize only the particular use or category of related
uses for which the conditional use permit is issued.
c) A conditional use shall not be enlarged, extended or otherwise modified unless approved by the
City Council or approved administratively as applicable.
d) The use of property for the purposes described in a conditional use permit shall not commence
until a certificate of occupancy has been issued. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until
all or approvals which may be required by the Codes and Ordinances of the City, including, but not
limited to, a Building Permit, a Certificate Of Occupancy and subdivision approval have been
satisfied.
Section (d) provides the following Conditional Use Permit factors in consideration of appropriateness of a
request:
a) The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
b) The proposed use is compatible with the existing and adjacent uses.
c) The proposed use meets all supplemental use standards specifically applicable to the use as set
forth in Chapter 5;
d) The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent
development and neighborhoods;
e) The proposed use is not materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, or results
in material damage or prejudice to other property in the vicinity.

recommended)
3. A minimum of 4% landscaping is required along street frontage. No landscaping is shown.
(waiver recommended)
4. Fencing materials consist of wood, brick stone or reinforced concrete. Site plan indicates an
existing 6 ft. metal fence. (waiver recommended)
5. Any requested development standards shall be listed and clearly identified on the site plan.
a. A waiver required to the projected setback requirement.
b. A waiver required for the paving surface material proposed.

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is requesting a zoning change to add a CUP to allow for truck -trailer parking,
automobile parking and a metal storage container. Surrounding land uses consist single family to
the east, recycling facility to the west, commercial use to the south and industrial with outdoor
storage to the north.
Due to the location of single family lots and zoning east of the site, the area of the lot for truck
parking, the proposed zoning request is not compatible at this location.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency Northeast Sector
The 2019 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Light Industrial. The requested
zoning district is not consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies.
• Separate incompatible land uses with buffers or transitional uses. Some land uses have
attributes such as height, proportion, scale, operational characteristics, traffic generated,
or appearance that may not be compatible with the attributes of other uses.
Page 3 of 4
Encourage appropriate development and redevelopment within central city commercial
districts and neighborhoods.
Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses, disinvestments,
encroachment, speculation, demolition, neglect and other negative forces.
