Background/Discussion The applicant is leasing a portion of the subject property and building for trailer sales/repair and auto sales. The subject property is currently zoned C3 (Highway Commercial) and has an underlying Land Use of High Density Housing/Riverfront Amenity (The Point) as defined in the adopted Comprehensive Plan and the Focused Area Study (FAST). If approved, the Interim Use Permit will apply to the entire property. Planning Commission meeting summary The Planning Commission reviewed this request as a Conditional Use Permit and discussed the history of the building, traffic, and the Land Use. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the Conditional Use Permit by a 4-1 vote based on the following reasons: 1. The project is not consistent with the comprehensive plan. The subject property has an underlying Land Use of High Density Housing/Riverfront Amenity (The Point) as defined in the adopted Comprehensive Plan and the Focused Area Study (FAST). The uses here would include residential product from townhomes to apartments and uses that embrace the river. 2. A non-conforming land use could impede the normal and orderly development of the surrounding vacant properties. 3. The project is not adequately served by the available city water and sewer services. Additional information Since the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has requested the Conditional Use Permit become an Interim Use Permit and is asking that the Interim Use Permit expire on May 1, 2015. This is a result of the pending sale of the subject property to another business. In order to bring the property into code compliance, staff is suggesting a condition that would require the applicant to reapply for a Conditional Use Permit should the pending sale fall through.
