SUMMARY OF PROJECT Petitioner is seeking a special use permit to ' allow exterior storage of containers in the rear yard. - SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommenc�s denidl of this special use permit. Staff recommends denial of SP #02-08 due to the impact of outdoor storage on neighboring residential properties, the diminishing image of a building along the major City corridor and the diminished ability of fire fighters to maneuver in emergency situations. CITY COUNCIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE City Council —10/14/02 (View of conta.iners from 60`� Avenue) Staff Report Prepared by: Stephanie Hanson SP #02-OS REQUEST The petitioner, Van O Lite, is seeking a special use permit to allow the outdoor storage of containers in the rear yard. The containers will be for housing inventory and staging product for delivery. . � /"1 a � �: A�1AI.3��r�S , ��: - �, �;, , _ T�.�,;�, , ��� �ciper�s� i�c�ed on,�as�,�Triiv�rS�,t� i�vie�ue Frontage Road. The existing SW � ;�uitd�n� , con,�c� in ���� ��e€� �uml�er o�.variances for the structure and `�- . ' �s '_'. . .. . . �, fy�. y,,,`54' 1 �Y_�.: . , . ;parking requir�ments. As :a `.resal�; t�4pe� sp�ce a�ourid the building is at a premium. ._, __ There are alternatives to outdoor storage on this site. The Petitioner applied for a pemut for a mezzanine, which would be used for storage of materials. However, the Petitioner chose not to pursue the construcdon of the mezzanine due to the sprinkler requirements of City Code, Chapter 1306. Though the Petitioner does not favor the altemative of building a mezzanine, it is the best alternative for storage on the site according to staff s analysis. The C-2, General Business zoning along University Avenue, comes from a time when commercial use along the main corridors had direct access to University. Once direct access was terminated, a frontage road system was required. This left shallow lots for conunercial development. Developers of these shallow lots must consider the site � dimensions and build accordingly. If this consideration is not taken into account, the City _ may be left with undesirable image issues. Outdoor storage of containers would be one such issue. The containers are highly visible from 60`� Avenue and the residential neighborhood to the east. The storage of the containers will potentially diminish the . normal enjoyment of the properties surrounding the site. Finally, fire roadway standazds require access with a minimum of a 20-foot width of unobstructed clearance (Article 10, Section 10.204a). Because this site is already maximized, further reduction of the aisle space would potentially harm firefighters' ability to maneuver on the site. _ City staffhas received comments from neighboring property owners. Donna Ruch, whom resides directly behind Van O Lite, does not want to see any outside storage. � ;�A; �`i» r .-. �{ "� :3 � l 111Sa �te,,� �'a � ` � .a ..�:�n,`�; �,� `r , � 5 � js ���c+ i • � � ,�1. �..�f>r'� r'r a ` �- � ,�'i � e� y _. �`s^.�A:',�.� - -"�W;;�-,-'--� � �..'°'.,�.--'f� _Y's r, .?;. . �s , �i�d'I��4�� c ' $- �"', 4 F "2i+%... � �� �.`'? +i f :� � r'` .yx �'� r �� . � _ � � ��:�. 1 .. `� R F,�.a�� T�� "�r „ .'' � � � "`�>`� � _ �. ��,��a � �*��� > �+ r � s .. . {�k�'�:�.' .

I personally understand that the city planners receive many challenges and are often under verbal attack while attempting to maintain proper land use. Verbal attacks and demands are not our approach. We recognize your authority in this City. Our goal at Van O Lite is to work with you in achieving property that reflects the professional standard that y�u are st*iving far. Please understand that �ve are making contintial steps to comply with code in all areas. �Ve now have on staff a part time maintenance employee who has been assigned the task of becoming familiar �vith all city cc�de. He will be responsible in maintaining both of our facilities and insuring compliance in all areas. To date, we have repainted over the rivo way traffic arrows, scheduled a replacement of the pine that has died, repaired all damaged and aged fencing at,6041 and enclosed empty �allets rhat �vere "outside stored" at 6041. We also paid for the redone sidewalk without qttestion even though our contractor should have covered this in the original building pro�•am. . . In :cgards te a�:r containers behind the 5945 beilding, we ind:,ed did call and were told that it was not forbidden to have them. What we were not told was that a special use permit would be required. In no way, did we kno�vingly act.in a.way that was against city policy or code. In addition, we had the containers treated and painted to hide their presence and to minimize their "intrusion" in the neighborhood. Our attorney, Bob Fulgency, �vill be representing us in our appeal process and expla.ining our unique (special) circumstances that led up to the eventual necessity af the containers. This is not a hostile approach on our part. �Ve aze simply appealing the issue and will comply with any results from the process. . I appreciate your consideration of this matter.
