Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant, Protofab Engineering, has recently applied for a building permit for an addition on the west side of their building. In order to adequately access the doors on the rear of the building addition, a driveway connection to the north is necessary. Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit is being requested to allow for a shared access and drive with the adjacent lot to the north of this parcel.
The landscaping requirements for this property are being met with the Site Plan Approval process for the addition and it will include four trees (two ornamental, two conifer) that will be planted on the south side of the property in the area of the loading dock.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
