NW, Elk River <br />WinLectric <br />Reviewed by <br />Zack Carlton <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Recommend, by motion, approval of an amendment to Conditional Use Permit (CU 22-11) extending the <br />conditions deadline until July 1, 2025, and add a condition that all areas utilized for outdoor storage be <br />completely screened from view from all public rights-of-way. <br /> <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The subject parcel was granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in 2022 yet has to be recorded. One of the <br />conditions of approval required the removal of three temporary outdoor storage structures from the <br />property within two years of City Council approval of the CUP (by July 18, 2024). One of these structures <br />was removed. The applicant has indicated a continued need for these structures while securing nearby indoor <br />storage and is requesting an extension to the timeline for their removal until July 1, 2025. <br /> <br />Additionally, another condition of approval with the original CUP stipulated that all outdoor storage must <br />occur within fenced areas. Currently, the area behind the building continues to be used for outdoor storage. If <br />this area is to remain in use for outdoor storage, it must be screened to be in compliance with Section 30- <br />807, which mandates that outdoor storage areas be completely screened from view from all public rights-of- <br />way. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the CUP (CU 22-11) conditions deadline be extended to July 1, 2025, and add a condition <br />that all areas utilized for outdoor storage be completely screened from view from all public rights-of-way. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Appropriately govern in an ever-changing environment. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
