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.

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.

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. Attachments: • Area Zoning Map with 300 ft.
