Home My WebLink About2189-P DATE: October 21, 2013 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for a revised specific use permit to allow an expansion of a financial planner’s office in an RM-H (Residential – Multiple-Family Dwelling – Highest Density) District. FILE: 2189-P ___ STAFF REPORT Planning staff recommends approval with the following condition:  Based on aerial views of the site, it appears the building to the South is currently buffered by trees; therefore, if trees are removed as part of this expansion project, the required fencing should be waived only for the front 200’ of the South property line. Tim Satre, on behalf of Satre Investments, LLC, is requesting a revision to an existing specific use permit for the expansion of a financial planning office. The zoning allows for this kind of use with a specific use permit. The property is located at 4184 Treadway Road. The initial specific use permit was approved in 1998. At that time, the existing residential building was modified into office space and parking was added. The proposed expansion includes the construction of two new buildings for the expansion of his business. The proposed buildings would be one story buildings and would not visually impact the surrounding neighborhood. Parking will be constructed as required by ordinance, and utilities exist on the site to handle expected demand to meet the requirements of the City. Mr. Satre is requesting a waiver to the 8’ privacy fence on the South side of the property. In addition he is requesting a waiver to landscape and screening requirements along the North and South property lines. 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.
