Motion passed 6-0. Public Hearing- Rezoning Lots 1, 2, 3 and 5 Argo Innovation Park Chair Bowman opened the Public Hearing at 7:01 p.m. Jackie Carlson explained that the applicant for this request is the City. This request came for a discussion the City had with Premium Waters about some temporary gravel parking while they study the need for expansion. The City found that only a portion of the land was rezoned to PD in 2007 and the remainder was still zoned GP-I. With this request the City saw the opportunity to clean up the zoning of the property in this plat. Jackie went on to explain that with this rezoning also comes a few minor changes to the PD regulations associated with the property. This includes a section regarding the temporary gravel parking. Commissioner Kaspar asked what Premium Waters would do for additional parking if they did expand. Carlson replied that it would be something they would need to consider and possibly acquire additional land to the east. Commissioner Uhl asked about the type of gravel being used. Carlson replies that there are no specific requirements in the PD regulations for the type or depth of the gravel, but they are required to submit a plan for review with that information. 1 Rick Turley, Plant Manager for Premium Waters addressed the Commission. He said he was there tonight to enlist the support of the Planning Commission for the temporary parking. They have gotten more business than expected and will be adding 100 more new jobs. As a result they have more truck then they expected. This temporary parking will help to alleviate some of the truck backup on to Mattox Road. Having no further comments Chair Bowman closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Commissioner King moved to recommend approval of the rezoning of Lots 1,2,3 and 5 of Argo Innovation Park to the Board of Aldermen, seconded by Commissioner Uhl. Motion passed 6-0. Public Hearing- Special Use Permit 4825 NW 41st Street Chair Bowman opened the Public Hearing at 7:13 p.m. Carlson explained that the applicant, North Point Development was requesting a special use permit for outdoor storage at Horizons Spec III building. At this time PFG/Vistar occupies a majority of the building leaving approximately 50,000 square feet of unoccupied space for lease. North Point has a potential tenant but they would require outdoor storage. The approved PD regulations for this area allow for outdoor storage with the application and approval of a special use permit. The storage will be located on the southwest corner of the building and will be surrounded by an 8 foot wall and 8 foot black powder coated vinyl chain-link fence with black mesh screening. This area will abut Gallagher’s truck court and was originally planned to have dock doors and be a shared truck court between this building and Gallagher. The applicant is proposing additional landscaping as well. Staff does recommend approval of this request with conditions as follows: - Maximum storage area is 0.5 acres - All materials being stored are associated with the business that has the storage area - Storage areas are located in a side or rear year at least 10 feet from the street - Storage areas are fenced, screened, and kept in an orderly manner. - Stored materials shall not exceed the height of the fence. - Review of the Special Use Permit only if there are code violations or a tenant change Commissioner Kaspar asked what types of material will be stored. Brent Miles with North Point replied that conduit and spools of wire would be stored in this area. They will also have 24 hour security. North Point originally wanted to put this tenant in Spec II but felt that the outdoor storage would be too visible at that location. In addition, 2 the upkeep and storage requirements for this tenant will be written into a penalty clause. Commissioner Homer asked what the view would be from the office portion of Horizons. Miles replied that some of the offices close to the transition area between the industrial portion and the office portion may be able to see into the storage yard from a second story office or higher. Commissioner Snoderley asked what surface the material would be stored on. Miles replied that it would be concrete. Commissioner Kaspar commented that North Point has done so good with developing this area without any outdoor storage. He questioned if it would change the feel of the park and said he was ok with the outdoor storage this time but likely would not be in the future. Chair Bowman noted that he would like to see the SUP expire with this tenant and if another tenant would like to do outdoor storage that it must come back before the Planning Commission and Miles agreed. Chair Bowman closed the public Hearing at 7:33 p.m. Commissioner King moved to recommends approval of the special use permit for outdoor storage at 4825 NW 41st Street to the Board of Aldermen with the following conditions: -Maximum storage area is 0.5 acres - All materials being stored are associated with the business that has the storage area - Storage areas are located in a side or rear year at least 10 feet from the street - Storage areas are fenced, screened, and kept in an orderly manner. - Stored materials shall not exceed the height of the fence. - Review of the Special Use Permit only if there are code violations. - If the tenant leaves then the Special Use Permit expires. Commissioner Snoderley seconded and the motion passes 6-0. Adjourn Commissioner King moved to adjourn, seconded by Commissioner Uhl. Motion passed 6-0 and the meeting was adjourn at 7:58 p.m. Sarah Wagner Community Development 3
