Staff Recommendation
DENY I-3 (General Industrial) zoning.
Staff recommended denial in order to maintain a less intense zoning between the I-3 uses to the north and the R-1 residential uses to the south. This area should serve as a buffer area between the unlike uses.
I-3 zoning allows more intense uses and a greater maximum lot coverage than I-2. I-3 allows up 80% lot coverage compared to 50% for the current I-2. On parcels 20.04 and 20.05 to the east, which are zoned entirely I-3, the effect of this difference can be seen. The buildings on these sites take up a much higher percentage of their respective sites than the ratio on the subject property.
Disposition Summary
APPROVE I-3 (General Industrial) subject to the condition of maintaining a 75-foot no disturb buffer on the rear adjacent to the residential zoning
