Direct staff to prepare a resolution revoking the Conditional Use Permits; and, <br />2. Allow the property owner to avoid revocation of the CUP if all outdoor materials are properly stored <br />behind fencing, within the building, or removed from the property by November 17, 2025. <br />or <br />1. Direct the applicant to apply for an amendment by November 24, 2025, to further extend the <br />deadline. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Conditional Use Permit (CU 22-11) was approved on July 18, 2022, with specific conditions pertaining to <br />outdoor storage. The permit required compliance with these conditions by July 18, 2024. Staff extended the <br />deadline to December 31, 2024, after the applicant noted that they required additional time to meet the <br />standards. Before the extended deadline, the conditions were not expected to be satisfied by the end of <br />December, and the applicant applied for an amendment on December 26, 2024. <br /> <br />On March 17, 2025, the city approved an amendment (CU 24-22) to the original CUP, which extended the <br />timeline to satisfy the approved conditions to July 1, 2025, as requested by the applicant. When compliance <br />was not achieved by that date, staff extended the deadline to August 25, 2025, and, again, granted a final <br />extension to September 30, 2025. <br /> <br />Additionally, Winlectric has had recent staff changes, and the former company representative that staff had <br />been working with is no longer with the company. The new contact has indicated that the fence has been <br />approved internally, and the fence contractor completed a property survey on October 27, 2025, to verify the <br />property lines. Staff have been informed that the fence installation is set to begin on Wednesday, November <br />Page 136 of 322
