Case File: OA 07-07 Page: 2 General Information Ordinance Amendment Alliance Machine Applicant Alliance Machine 60 Day Rule The application has been deemed complete as of May 10, 2007. The City must take action by June 30, 2007 Requested Action Ordinance Amendment Location and Size All Business Park zoning districts Overview Currently accessory structures axe not allowed in the Business Park zoning district. The applicant would like to construct an accessory structure for storage of certified material. Attached to this structure would be a dumpster enclosure which is required by the City. They have indicated the structure would be built of the same materials as the existing building, which does meet the design guidelines for the district. The storage of certified material does not have to be in a separate structure. With the applicant's specific property, they want to build a detached structure, verses an attached structure, so they can expand the size of our current building when needed in the future. Their hope is this will occur in 5-10 years. If they attach the new structure to the current building, it will block emergency vehicle access to the back of their building, which they built per the City's request specifically for emergency vehicle access. For these reasons, the applicant is asking for an Ordinance Amendment to allow an accessory structure in the Business Park zoning districts. Planning Commission Actions The Planning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting on June 12, 2007. Due to lack of information, they tabled the request to review it at their next workshop meeting. The Planning Commission discussed this topic at a workshop meeting. After much discussion the Planning Commission felt that accessory structures were appropriate only when matching the principal structure. There was discussion on how they could be allowed as an Interim Use, but was decided that financially that would be negative. The Planning Commission directed staff to draft the language as shown in Exhibit A to allow one accessory structure as a Conditional Use Permit in the Business Park zoning district. This a summary of what is being recommend: 1. A Conditional Use Permit would be required for all accessory structures. 2. Accessory structures would need to meet the design guidelines for the Business Park zoning district. 3. The maximum size allowed for an accessory structure be limited to 1,200 square feet per property. S:\PLANNINCU\Case Piles\OA\OA 07-07 Alliance Machine Request\OA 07-07_PC-2.doc
