Body
I. SUMMARY
On April 4, 2017, this item was scheduled for City Council's consideration with a staff recommendation for denial. The City Council continued the item to allow staff and the applicant to continue discussions on the proposed project. Staff and applicant have met a number of times and have discussed the incompatibility of the proposed use with the General Plan and zoning, hours of operation, limiting noise generating activities adjacent to residential areas east of Main Street, and addition of large landscaped setbacks along the streets. The temporary nature of the project, together with the revisions to the project have resulted in a project that staff can support (Exhibit No. 1).
Meanwhile, the City's efforts on updating the General Plan have also progressed since April 2017 and in fact, the working General Plan identifies this site and several other properties in its vicinity as potential development opportunity sites. The findings of the General Plan consultant have been consistent with the conclusions of the Vision Plan process, in that this area has the potential to transition to less intensive light industrial uses. In addition, limited commercial uses and even introduction of residential uses is also possible in this area.
