MS-31 IS WJM Propcriici LLC June 16,200S i»e|c22 In October 2003 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5059 granting a CUP amendment to allow the temporaiy use of fencing in place of final berming and landscaping along the north edge of the parking lot, pending resolve of issues with MCWD regarding wetlands and site grading. In November 2003 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5084 granting CUP and Site Plan Approval for a 20* x 75* addition along the south side of the existing detached 25* x 75* garage structure located near the south end of the principal building on the property. This building addition has never been constructed. In November 2004 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5250 granting approval for revisions to die ^iproved lighting plan for the large easterly parking lot. The lighting has been completed. Current Request As noted in the applicants* letters of request, the current proposal is two-fold; 1. Tlie 20* X 75* detached garage addition was never constiaicted, and applicant has determined that WJM*s current needs are for a slightly larger (50* x 100*) addition located at the west end of the existing garage. This will be served by a driveway extending from the proposed new parking lot to be located at the south end of the large main lot. 2. The proposed new 200* x 200* parking lot will be a southward extension of the existing main parking lot lying east of the main building. This new lot takes the place of the 200* x 200’ parking lot originally approved at the southwest comer of the building but never constmeted. The area at the southwest comer might be used for a main building expansion in the future, but that is not proposed at this time and is not part of this review. The proposed building expansion is an allowed accessory use in the I (Industrial) District per Section 78-823. Section 78-825(b) requires that individual buildings in the I District hie no less than 5,000 s.f. in area. The proposed building including the existing footprint plus additions will be 6,875 s.f. Building height will be approximately 20* at the peak, meeting the 40* I District height limit. The building will be setback more than 300* from all lot lines and approximately 130* from the main building, meeting all required pertinent setbacks. The building addition will bring tliis 23-acre site to approximately 27% structural coverage, far below the 45% limit for the I District. The building addition is not visible from Highway 12 and should not require screening due to its relatively central location within the site. The exterior flnish of the building addition is proposed to be pre-finished metal comparable to the existing accessory garage finish. Section 78-825(f)(2) requires that “All subsequent additic.is and outbuildings constmeted after the erection of an original building shall be constmeted of materials comparable to those used in the original constmetion and shall be designed in a manner confomiing with the original architectural design and general appearance.** The principal building on the property is of concrete/stucco/EFIS material rather tlian pre-finished metal. Planning Commission should determine whether the proposed 5.000 s.f. addition (and perhaps the 1.875 s.f existing building) should be finished to match tlie principal building.
