- PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
- The Planning Advisory Commission recommends conditional approval based upon the
fact that although it is not consistent with the future land-use map of the
1998 Comprehensive Plan, it is proposed as a transition area in the 2003
Comprehensive Plan update, it is served by all City services, it is served by
water and sewer, and it does not constitute spot zoning. The recommended
conditions are: 1) all lighting shall be directed internally using deflector
shields, 2) no external trash dumpsters / compactors shall be allowed along the
property lines bordered by the R-1 and R-3A zoning districts, 3) screening for
trash dumpsters / compactors, air conditioners, refrigeration units, and heat
pumps shall be required for all development on the property, and 4) driveway
access shall be determined by the City Traffic Engineer
