FILE: 2287-P
___
STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval with the following condition:
1. Six (6) parking spaces, meeting city requirements, must be delineated on the property.
Jill Broussard Schwertner is attempting to sell, or lease, the property located at 1175 Reynolds
Road. Although contractors have previously been located here, the property is zoned GC-MD
(General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) which does not allow for outside storage or a
laydown yard without a Specific Use Permit. Multiple buyers/tenants have showed interest in
the property, but they all require outside storage. Property located to the east is zoned LI (Light
Industrial) and the requested uses would blend well with neighboring uses. A property to the
south, also zoned GC-MD will serve as a buffer to the proposed uses.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
