Staff Analsis• The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for an office showroom/warehouse on this 0-3, General Office, zoned property. The anticipated hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The addition meets all setback and height requirements for both 0-3 and C-3 zones. However; the small pavilion building is shown as being located across a platted building line. Also, there is a utility/drainage easement shown which would be under the new addition. The applicant plans to replat these lots to eliminate both these situations. Accomplishing that replat will be a condition of an approved C.U.P. Staff believes this is a reasonable use of this property, and with proper screening from the residential area to the north and west, it should have minimal impact on the neighborhood. The modified parking lot access is an improvement. 8. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the Screening and Buffer Comments regarding an opaque screen, 2. Compliance with Public Works Comments, 3. Compliance with Utility and Fire Department Comments, 4. Property must be replatted to remove the circular utility/drainage easement and change the building line on Lot 3 in the vicinity of the small pavilion.
