Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for an office showroom/warehouse on this 5 acre tract of 0-3, General Office, zoned property. The usage is divided as follows: Office, 40%; Showroom, 30%; Warehouse, 30%. This is part of a larger development that extends from this property east to Bowman Road on property zoned C-2, Shopping Center district. This area along Colonel Glenn is developing as commercial and office use. The properties to the south across Colonel Glenn contain a building supply/hardware store and a convenience store with gas pumps. There is residential R-2 zoning to the north, west and south. Single family houses on large tracts of land lie to =he west and southwest. A mobile home park abuts this property on the north side. The building to be constructed meets or exceeds all ordinance requirements. The nature of the terrain is steep_ to the north and will be held in place by a retaining wall. That will keep this development over 100 feet from the north property line, and therefore, a good distance from, and below the grade of the mobile home park to the north. It also lies at least 200 feet north from the residential property on the south side of Colonel Glenn. October 15, 1998 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 6.2 (Cont.)
