The Commission was supportive of the type of use but determined the proposed use did <br />not match the listed uses for the Industrial district. The Planning Commission recommended the <br />applicant pursue a text amendment to include Garage Condos as a Conditional Use within the <br />Industrial district including establishment of standard conditions for that use. Following the <br />direction provided, the applicant withdrew their application and applied for a text amendment. <br /> The text amendment was reviewed at the November Planning Commission and approved at the <br />December City Council meeting. In December, the applicant submitted an application for a <br />Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan review for Garage Condos including Preliminary and Final <br />Plat (to create the individual condo units). <br /> <br />The applicant submitted a narrative describing the proposed Garage Condo development. The <br />development will consist of 85 individual units between 800-1450 square feet for garage storage <br />including an upper mezzanine area/flex space. The units will be individually-owned for the <br />personal use of each owner. Each unit is designed to have utility connections for water and sewer <br />and will be customizable to include additional amenities such as bathrooms, kitchens, and/or <br />washers/dryers. The common spaces on the property will be managed by an association which will <br />provide for general maintenance and stormwater drainage of the site set by the applicant. The <br />development will not have a customer-facing/retail aspect outside the sale of individual units. <br /> <br />4.Public Comment: <br />Two public comments were received, they are included in the packet as Exhibit L. <br />5.Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the proposed application subject to the applicant addressing all of <br />the applicable identified on the Planning Commission Staff Report (Exhibit A) before final <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />16
