The esole R 072. esohrtionNo.13-024. purpose of the addition is to house an additional machine to provide new services to existing customers and to allow the flexibility to acquire new customers as the business continues to expand operations. Staff noted the proposed addition will max the site out on the allowed floor to area ration with an FAR of 0.38,where 0.40 is allowed for one-story buildings. The proposed landscaping plan was reviewed. A Nonconforming Use Permit is required due to an existing rear yard setback that is less than required by the Zoning Code. It was noted the proposed addition is on the opposite side of the building as the rear yard.City Planner Gundlach indicated the proposed addition meets all minimum site plan requirements;however consideration must be made with regard to off-street parking. She explained the Planning Commission considered the request on March 19th for a special circumstance and found sufficient evidence was submitted by the applicant to support a five stall reduction. This evidence consists of the large area the applicant's machines take up,resulting in less floor space for employees. Additionally,staff found the Nonconforming Use Permit criteria have also been met as it would not be practical to reduce or eliminate the nonconformity. Staff recommends approval of the requests,subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed addition is constructed consistent with the plans and analysis contained within the written Planning Report. 2. All ancillary outside storage is removed in conjunction with completion of the addition. 3. Implementation of the requirements specified in interoffice Public Works/Engineering memo, attached as Exhibit G to the Planning Report. Norm Wells,Cheetah Precision,commented in 2007-2008 the two buildings onsite were connected to benefit the employees,and the owner was now requesting an addition to meet the needs of his growing business. He discussed the storm water runoff on the site and thanked the Council for considering his request this evening. Councilmember Jacobsen questioned when construction would begin. Mr.Wells stated construction would begin after approval from the City and financing was secured. Motion by Councilmember Jacobsen,seconded by Councilmember Burg to adopt a Resolution
