FILE PZ2021-456 STAFF REPORT Raymond Richard is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a roll -off container and equipment storage yard at 3494 Fannett Road. Mr. Richard is the owner of R&R Dozer, a demolition company. In September of 2021 reports were received that a fence had been placed around the property and dumpsters were being stored.

For a commercial business to operate adjacent to residential zoning, the business is required to maintain a ten (10) foot wide landscaped strip with trees and an eight (8) foot tall wood or masonry fence along the adjoining property line. As dumpsters may create odor issues, all cleaning of the dumpsters prior to storage must be completed elsewhere. In addition, any security lighting on the property shall be shielded to protect adjacent residential properties. Therefore, staff recornmends approval with the following conditions: 1. Install landscaping and screening to meet City Ordinance requirements.\ 2. Clean all dumpsters before storing them at this location. 3. Shield all security lighting from neighboring residential properties. 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.
