Background/Discussion Case No. CU 17-12 Metro Gravel is currently operating at 15683 Jarvis Street NW as a truck terminal and repair facility. The subject property was approved for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for truck terminal in 1989. Since that time the site has received four CUP amendments to add truck repair,building space, and outdoor storage on the site. The most recent amendment in 2009 restrict the outdoor storage to truck tractors. Metro Gravel is seeking to amend their existing CUP to expand current operations and allow outdoor storage of semi-trailers, trucks,heavy equipment, and storage of truck containers. The subject property is 4.11 acres in size and is zoned General Industrial (I3) where Bus, truck and implement storage, maintenance and repair, along with Outdoor storage areas accessory to principal use require a CUP. The applicant is requesting a CUP to expand their existing truck and trailer service/repairs business with a 4,528 square foot addition to their office/maintenance building and a 300 square foot addition to the existing accessory structure. The applicant is also seeking a CUP to increase the outdoor storage area by 1,600 square feet. Outdoor storage is located in the southwestern corner of the property. The site abuts existing businesses on the north and east sides,vacant land to the south/east, and a residential property (zoned C-3 Highway Commercial) across an undeveloped right-of-way to the south/west.Jarvis Street abuts the west side of the property. Analysis Comprehensive Plan The underlying land use of the property is Industrial. The Medium Industrial category includes industrial uses intended for businesses with more intensive uses. The level of intensity refers to the amount of land used by the business, the nature of the industrial activity, and the potential for truck traffic. Examples of Medium Industrial uses include contracting yards,lumber yards, concrete products processing, processing of natural resources, and truck terminals. The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Transportation/Circulation Access to the site is currently on the west side of the property off of Jarvis Street. A road right-of-way runs adjacent to the entire south property line. This road in the future could be the main access to the site and surrounding area, this will work toward limiting access on Hwy 10 as described in the Interregional Corridor (IRC) Plan. This road will eventually be a frontage road along the highway and act as an alternative route into the city, specifically for the properties between Highway 10 and the railroad tracks. The road will be a separation between the properties on the north side zoned industrial with the properties on the south side zoned commercial. Parking The two buildings will encompass 16,604 square feet of the site. The applicant is proposing to pave the remaining portion of the site and provided 27 parking stalls for employees and 29 semi-truck parking N:APublic Bodies\Agenda Packets\06-19-2017\Final\x7.3_CU 17-12 CC 6-19-17.docx
