ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting the rezoning of this 1.28 acre site from R-2 to PD-O planned development -office to allow use of the property for New Water Systems. The property is located outside of the city limits but within the city's zoning jurisdiction. The applicant proposes to remodel the existing residential structure located on the site into offices for the business. An asphalt -paved parking lot and driveway will be constructed adjacent to the building. A metal storage/warehouse building will be constructed behind the office building. A gravel parking/storage area will be located behind the office building, adjacent to the storage building. Access to this gravel area will be from a gated entrance off of the new paved parking lot. A 6-foot tall opaque fence will be placed on the north, south and west perimeters of the site and extending from the rear of the office building to the south perimeter. New Water Systems is a manufacturer's representative and distributor of water and wastewater treatment technology. The business will have about 5 employees working out of this location. The business is open standard business hours; 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m., Monday — Friday. The business receives UPS and Fed Ex deliveries daily and about 6 times a year receives deliveries on a larger (semi) truck. Deliveries are made during the daytime business hours.
