Home My WebLink About1608-PDATE: March 18,2002 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager UP, SUBJECT: Request for a specific use permit to allow a repair and maintenance shop and a secured parking area for dump trucks and earth moving equipment in a GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District, FILE: 1608-P STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of the request for a specific use permit subject to the supports of the owner identification sign being set back 10' from the property line, no outdoor storage of vehicles or equipment on the north 200' of the property and with a modification to the screening and landscaping requirements along the north property line. Todd Barnes, the owner, wishes to build and operate a repair and maintenance shop with secured parking for dump trucks and earth moving equipment on a one acre tract of land north of West Florida Avenue. Mr, Barnes is in the construction and dump truck business. He supplies trucks to his own jobs as well as to other contractors. The property will be used as a fenced and secured parking facility for his trucks when they are not in service. He will also perform maintenance on his equipment in the proposed building. The maintenance and parking area will be enclosed by an 8'tall wood screening fence. The site plan shows an open space area for the north 200' of the property. The property to the north is zoned RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling). Normally, an 8' tall screening fence and 10' wide landscape strip would be required. In place of that requirement, a 30' wide landscape buffer could be installed. However, the 200' of open space would be an adequate buffer as long as no equipment storage was allowed within that area. Exhibits are attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 15 Responses in Favor . Responses in Opposition LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ORDINANCE PURPOSES Being Lot 4, Block 15, Annie T.

The Zoning Ordinance requires that the north property line be screened and landscaped with an 8' tall screening fence and a I O'wide landscape buffer.
