Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE I (Industrial) / TO (Technology Overlay) zoning, subject to one condition.
1. Uses listed under Industrial zoning shall be allowed, except those listed under Sections D. (Mining Related Uses) and F. (Waste Handling Uses) of Uses Permitted (5.61.02).

Limited industrial zoning is appropriate for this site, given the area's mixed zoning pattern, and will bring the site's current and proposed use as a salvage yard into compliance. The proposal is an extension of zoning from the north and is compatible with surrounding land uses. The permitted uses identified as "mining related uses" and "waste handling uses", however, would not be appropriate at this location due to their potential negative impacts on the surrounding area, which includes some planned commercial, office and institutional development.

1. Area to be rezoned is limited to 4.76 acres, current lease area for Metal Solutions, future lease area for PSC Metals.
