As per City Code Section 78-642 any application for a <br /> commercial building permit prompts a site review by the Planning Commission and City <br /> Council. The applicant has requested the following: <br /> 1) Commercial site plan review in order to obtain a building permit to remodel and <br /> expand an existing 2310 s.f. concrete block building on the property to a 4080 s.f. <br /> building, a 1,770 s.f. total expansion. <br /> 2) A setback variance in order to re-use the existing sign pole which is setback 8' <br /> from the front property line where 10' is required. The signage itself will extend an <br /> additional 4' into the setback area for a sign setback of 4' when 10' is required.* <br /> 3) Hardcover variance to allow existing driveway hardcover to become structural <br /> hardcover.* <br /> *Foth noted that each of these items would be reviewed in part with the overall <br /> commercial site review <br /> Foth explained that the property located at 3607 Shoreline Drive has historically served as <br /> an equipment rental business. While lawn and garden equipment rental is a permitted use <br /> in the district, there is a great deal of outdoor storage associated with this business. <br /> Outdoor storage is a conditional use in the Industrial district only. <br /> While the existing sign is located 8' from the front property line, where a 10' setback is <br /> required, Foth stated that the applicant is proposing to re-use this sign in part including the <br /> non-conforming setback. The property is allowed signage up to 250 s.f.; therefore, the <br /> proposed signage of 150 s.f. is in compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements. <br /> Page 7 of 29 <br />
