• <br />• EXHIBIT A <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />structure is located is a question to be determined by the planning director, subject to <br />appeal as provided in this division. A nonconforming use or structure so changed <br />shall not thereafter be returned to a nonconforming use or structure. <br />In accordance with the Section 106-264, proper notification of the nonwnforming status <br />was provided to the property owner/occupant of the site. In addition, in accordance with <br />Section 106-265, the applicant (property owner/occupant) has chosen to apply for an <br />Exemption from the Extended Useful Life Requirement. That application was received <br />by staff on May O 1, 2001 and is attached for the Board's review. <br />In addition to the nonconforming use, the current site has nonconforming structure <br />conditions that do not comply with city regulations. There is a lack of landscaping on <br />site, fencing located within the required 20' front setback of the development and <br />driving/parking areas that are not "dust-free" materials. These issues have all been <br />discussed with the applicant and the proposed changes will bring the site closer to <br />compliance with current development standazds. The issues staff discussed with the <br />applicant aze outlined below and detailed on the site plan included with this repgrt: <br />Traffic Flow - As part of their proposed development plan, the applicant will eliminate <br />one of the existing drives off South 16s' Street and plans to install a recessed gate access <br />for the remaining drive on South 16s' Street. 16'~ Street is a designated Truck Route and <br />this will be the only access point for trucks into the facility. The recessed drive will <br />allow trucks to pull off the street while attempting entry into the facility. In addition, the <br />traffic associated with the new office building will be entering the pazking area through a <br />gate off of West "D" Street. These changes will improve traffic flow along South 16~' <br />Street. <br />Truck Parking -With the addition of a new office building and expansion/remodel of <br />the existing shoplwash building, the parking of the trucks will be relocated to the new <br />developed area or rear. This change will improve the appeazance of this facility from <br />South 16a' Street. <br />Fencing Alterations - As proposed on their site plan, the relocation of fencing will not <br />completely comply with current fencing regulations. The existing site is completely <br />fenced, including required setback areas. Based on the existing shop/wash building <br />location on the south side of the property, relocating this portion of the fencing out of the <br />required 20' front yazd setback would present a hardship for the operation of this <br />building. The trucks enter this building from the west and exit east (towards South 16~' <br />Street). The site plan as currently drawn shows the fence located 5' off the front property <br />line to allow for installation of landscaping outside of the fenced area while still allowing <br />a 95' turning radius for the exit of their trucks from the wash/shop bays. This placement <br />of fencing in this area will be the only item that will not be in compliance with current <br />city regulations, with the exception of the nonconforming use. <br />The applicant will relocate the fencing north of the recessed gate entrance area and in the <br />front portion along the northern and southern property lines. In addition, the applicant is <br />
