STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to
the following condition:
1. Modify the site plan to reflect that the pad sites are
located a minimum of 3' from the recreational vehicle lot
side lot line, a minimum of 5' from the recreational vehicle
lot rear lot line and a minimum of 10' from any
recreational vehicle park property line or be granted
variances to these setback requirements by the Zoning Board
of Adjustment.
Charles and Beth Boren have applied for a specific use permit
to allow a recreational vehicle park in an RM-H (Residential
Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District. The
property is located at 5775 Erie Street.
The Borens have the subject property under contract to purchase.
Their plans are to build a 73 space recreational vehicle park
on 3.49 acres. In addition to the pad sites, there will be
a 1,600 sq. ft. structure that will contain the main office,
a storage room, a storage garage, laundry room and four shower
rooms.
The Borens state that noise will be controlled through a strictly
enforced 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew by the on-site manager. The
property will be surrounded by an 8' tall wood screening fence.
The pad sites will be accessed by a one way street and one
access/egress point onto Erie St. This access/egress point
will be gated.
Exhibits are attached.

ANALYSIS continued
This application is in conformance with all eight conditions necessary
for approval. Comments on Condition 1 follows:
1. The property to the east and west are zoned LI (Light
Industrial) District. This property and Lot 3,
immediately to the north, were rezoned from LI to RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density)
District in 1997. The purpose of this rezoning was to
sell the property as residential. Lot 3 was developed
with a single family house.
Over the years, little development has occurred along Erie
Street. With the coming of the industrial expansions,
there will be a need for recreational vehicle parks. The
subject property will be a good location for such a use
due to its proximity to the refineries.
