PUBLIC HEARING Case 1788-Z/CTL Medical.

Discussion:
Charles Goff, Assistant Director of Development Services and Planning, presented the Staff Report.
Commissioner Souers inquired about what would be required of any applicant, operating as of right through proper permits, requesting to expand their operations. Charles Goff indicated that if the request was to expand an already allowed use within the district, the applicant would not have any additional requirements, but if the applicant was requesting a rezoning to allow a new use, they would be required to bring the property up to current landscaping standards. Usually, during the initial Certificate of Occupancy review process, if the proposed use is not allowed per zoning, an applicant has an opportunity to determine whether that location is suitable based on the costs associated with a rezoning. However, in this particular case, because of the administrative oversight during the Certificate of Occupancy review, the applicant is already operating in this location, and staff feels that requiring them to bring the property up to the current standards now would not be reasonable.
Commissioner Souers inquired about what measures have been taken in order to avoid this type of a situation in the future. Charles Goff provided the three opportunities where this should have been identified during the initial Certificate of Occupancy and Building Permit applications, and the processes that have been put in place to ensure clarity and clear communication on future applications.
Commissioner Souers also inquired who ensures follow-up on conditions made by the Commission. Charles Goff stated that conditions added to a case are adopted and written into the ordinance, which becomes the guiding document during the building permit process, for the plans examiner and building inspectors on site.
Commissioner Resnik request additional information on the landscape requirements as they would pertain to this property. Charles Goff indicated that the landscape regulations require 20 percent landscape coverage, 25-foot landscaped setback from the curb, and internal parking lot landscaping. Based on staff’s preliminary analysis of this property’s existing conditions, it appears that the property would likely meet most of the landscaping requirements with the exception of parking lot landscaped islands and shade trees, which would require losing parking spaces and additional irrigation costs.
Fiona Lazaro, applicant, presented the request and answered question from the Commission regarding the details of the manufacturing operation, the size of the proposed operation and layout within the building, and whether the manufacturing aspect of the operation creates any nuisance for the other tenants and/or surrounding properties.
Chair Kathryn Wheeler opened the meeting as a public hearing.
Public Hearing:
There were no speakers on this item.
Chair Kathryn Wheeler closed the public hearing.
Chair Kathryn Wheeler expressed that it is not fair to penalize one tenant of the building by requiring such an extensive amount of landscaping and irrigation work at this stage of their existing operation and the Commission had additional discussion regarding the current situation.
Commissioner Souers inquired about the manufacturing that would be allowed on this property if the rezoning is approved. Charles Goff stated that spinal fixation devices would be the only type of manufacturing allowed.
Motion: Recommend approval of the proposed rezoning subject to no conditions. |
