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 compatible with existing land-uses and it is

served by all City services. The recommended conditions are: 1) all lighting

shall be directed internally using deflector shields, 2) any external trash

dumpsters / compactors shall be visually obstructed by a structure that is

aesthetically similar to the proposed development, 3) screening for 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.
