F. Adequate measures have been taken or will be taken to prevent or control <br /> �., offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise, and vibration, so none of these will <br /> constitute a nuisance and to control lights and signs in such a manner, that <br /> no disturbance to neighboring properties will result. <br /> G. The conditional use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a <br /> natural,scenic or historical feature of major significance. <br /> H. The conditional use will promote the prevention and control of pollution of <br /> the ground and surface waters including sedimentation and control of <br /> nutrients. <br /> Staff Findings: The Staff provides the following findings of fact for consideration by <br /> the Planning Commission: <br /> 1. The . total impervious surface coverage is currently at 36.3 percent. This <br /> percentage was approved by the City with the first Conditional Use Permit as the <br /> applicant provided a stormwater retention plan showing containment of the io- <br /> year, 24 hour storm event on the parcel. The overflow parking was not counted as <br /> impervious surface. The property contains three drainage pond areas. The <br /> applicant has not requested anymore impervious surface coverage but does <br /> propose to store units outside. <br /> 2. The proposed use, with conditions, would be compatible with the existing <br /> neighborhood and also is compatible and consistent with the existing use of <br /> property.Adjoining properties to the east and south are largely undeveloped with <br /> some commercial development to the north and some residential development on <br /> the west side of State Highway 371. <br /> 3. In the original CUP, the applicant had provided 315 parking spaces with 173 of <br /> those being permanent and the remaining 142 as overflow. If the utility buildings <br /> are to be stored outside as the applicant has intended that will reduce the number <br /> of available parking spaces. The applicant has not said how many parking spaces <br /> will be taken up with the storage of the buildings in the parking area.The parking <br /> ratio for retail stores is one (1) space for each loo square feet of gross floor area. <br /> According to these standards the applicant would need to provide 521.71 parking <br /> spaces should the Planning Commission agree this is a retail business. <br /> 4. The survey submitted shows screening along the entire western edge of the <br /> property bordering State Highway 371, along the southern edge bordering County <br /> Road 107, and along the eastern edge bordering the Paul Bunyan Trail. <br /> 5. The applicant has not submitted any plans to add additional lighting to the <br /> property. <br /> 6. With conditions the proposed use should not obstruct any fire lanes. <br /> 7. The applicant has not submitted any plans to add additional fencing to the <br /> property. <br /> 8. The proposed use is an appropriate conditional use in the Commercial District. <br /> The Land Use Matrix indicates the unclassified commercial uses are considered <br /> conditional uses in the Commercial Zone. <br /> 9. The applicant has stated that he would like to store the utility buildings either in <br /> the parking lot or in the grass. The applicant has not submitted any screening <br /> plans to show l00% screening of the utility buildings should they be stored <br /> outside. <br /> 1o.The proposed use would not be injurious to the public health, safety, welfare, <br /> decency, order, comfort, convenience, or prosperity of the City. However, if the <br /> utility buildings are stored outside it will change the appearance of the property. <br /> February 2008 Staff Report Page 8 <br />
