SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This Project Development Plan (PDP) complies with the following applicable
requirements of the Land Use Code L( UC):
• the process located in Division 2.2 - Common Development Review
Procedures for Development Applications of ARTICLE 2 -
ADMINISTRATION;
• the standards located in Division 3.2 - Site Planning and Design Standards of
ARTICLE 3 - GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS;
• the standards located in Division 3.3 — Engineering Standards of ARTICLE 3 -
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS;
• the standards located in Division 3.5 - Building Standards of ARTICLE 3 -
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS; and,
• the standards located in Division 4.23 Industrial (1) of ARTICLE 4 —
DISTRICTS.
Offices with outdoor storage facilities are permitted in the I — Industrial Zoning District,
subject to an administrative (Type 1) review.
The purpose of the Industrial District is:
"To provide a location for a variety of work processes and work places such as
manufacturing, warehousing and distributing, indoor and outdoor storage, and a
wide range of commercial and industrial operations. The Industrial District also
accommodates complementary and supporting uses such as convenience
shopping, child care centers and housing. While these Districts will be linked to
the City's transportation system for multiple modes of travel, some may
emphasize efficient commercial trucking and rail traffic as needed. Industrial and
manufacturing processes used in this District may, by necessity, be
characteristically incompatible with residential uses."
This proposal complies with the purpose of the I - District as it is a change in use from a
previous industrial facility to the proposed office and outdoor storage facility for an
excavation operation on an existing and developed site.
