City Council! CU 03-06 May 19, 2003 Page 3 Analysis The applicant is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a home occupation because they do not meet one of the 11 criteria that need to be met for Permitted Home Occupations. The only criterion that is prohibiting the applicant from running his business as a Permitted Home Occupation is Criteria #7 of the Home Occupation Standards. Criteria #7 states, "No permit:t<<llxmeoaupation shall be seroiar.l by deliveryu:hicles la'YlP'them 26,000 pounds gross7Xhicle ur:igJJt. >> This Home Occupation receives deliveries from vehicles exceeding this limit typically once a month via a tandem axle flat bed truck. The truck will be backed onto the site and the product will be removed with a forklift and stored in the pole building until used at specific job sites. Access to the pole shed will be off of 178th Avenue at a new driveway. The ceiling texturing business will be run out of a 2,400 sqft pole building located on the 2 1;1 acre site. The subject property is allowed 3,000 sqft of accessory structures. The majority of the pole shed will be devoted to storage of the texturing materials, a forklift and trucks. There will be a 132 sqft office within the pole building. The property will be utilized as a meeting place, and all work will be completed off site at specific job locations. The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with an occasional Saturday. There is a 5-ton road restriction placed on this street during spring months. The applicant will need to follow these restrictions as needed. The number of employees, other than those persons who customarily reside on the premises, which will be meeting and then leaving from the subject property, will be four. The applicant will provide a parking area on the back (south) side of the pole building. This area will be accessed by a driveway along the west side of the pole building which is screened from the house to the west by mature trees. After the discussion at the Planning Commission meeting regarding parking and screening, staff revisited the site and took images of the screening of this parking area. With the exception of one house to the south, which is partially screened by vegetation, this parking area is heavily screened from all other homes. Planning Commission Actions There were some general questions regarding the setback of the pole building, the existing garage doors on the house and how much screening there was at the site. Two other issues that were discussed is the number of vehicles parked at the site and what is the appropriate size of a business in a residential neighborhood. A fmal issue was the delivery of products. There was a misunderstanding that the deliveries were going to be made by a semi tractor trailer which could possibly create a traffic hazard. In fact, deliveries will be made via a tandem axle flat bed truck which will be unloaded in the driveway. S:\PLANNJNG\Case Files\2003\CU 03-06 Casey\CU03-06 _ CC.DOC
