ABC Supply is a wholesaler/warehouser of building and constructic.i supplies, including roofing materials, siding and windows, as well as other smaller supplies that are for sake to contractors. Wholesale and warehouse businesses are listed as “permitted uses” in the 1, Industrial district. The wholesaling operation permits ABC to receive and deliver materials in bulk amounts to and from vendors and contractors off-site. No individual retail is pennitted in the Industrial district. ABC’s current use of the property is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and 2^ning Ordinance. Please review Exhibit H a list of permitted and conditional uses in the district. ABC is requesting a conditional use permit to permit permanent “outside storage ” of stock materials on the property. They have been storing materials on the site since moving to the property, llie warehouse is used when possible, however when the amount of stock exceeds the storage capabilities of the warehouse certain items are stored outside, litis is primarily the case in the Spring and early Summer when there is excessive stock on hand for the upcoming construction season. Some materials are delivered and ate stored outside the building when it is anticipated the items will only be on-site for a few days before delivery.__________________________________________ Outside Storage Area The Municipal Code does not have a criteria that specifically defines permanent or temporary outside storage. Some cities allow temporary outside storage for a period not exceeding a defined time limit, usually 72 hours. Some of the materials that are delivered to the ABC site are not warehoused indoors. Those items are stored in a large area, approximately 24,000 s.f. in size, located on the south side of the building. Most of the stock is stacked two pallets high in the outside storage area.
