In the review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. Analysis The land use is consistent with the land use plan and the pattern of development in that area. The need for service and office buildings is customary to the approved use. The Building department, in their review, has raised some issues, including the need to complete the CO on the recendy approved building, and the drawing of the plans by a licensed architect. The primary focus of staff and the Planning Commission was the building materials used for the new addition and storage building. The Planning Commission and Council had earlier tried to create a campus concept in the land fill area, having all buildings match the gas plant. Because the new addition (on the north side of the building, away from the entrance drive) would not be readily visible to the public, the Planning Commission felt that metal would be acceptable, so long as the color was consistent in color to the gas plant. At the Planning Commission meeting, the Commission learned that the applicants wants to use the storage building for a short period of time, 2 years, until a new house hold waste (HHW) building is approved and built. With the information, the Planning Commission felt that metal on this building would be acceptable, given the time frame suggested. The Fire Chief has suggested a meeting to so that the applicant can fully understand the Fire Code requirements. Comprehensive Plan The use of the land is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Landscapinl In the previous approval, a condition was stated that 5 additional shade trees be added. These trees should still be added, as well as some foundation plantings around all buildings. It is suggested that staff approve the landscaping plan.
