� � <br />ability to respond with fire apparatus in the event that a fire breaks out among or around <br />the boats. <br />5.4 Outdoor storage uses are required to be screened to a height of at least 8 feet by opaque <br />fences or walls. The existing fabric screening over the chain-link fence facing County <br />Road C was approved in the previous Interim Use Permit as satisfying the screening <br />requirements for outdoor storage uses. Opaque screening was not required along the <br />eastern, northern, and western sides of the property because these all face other industrial <br />properties or the truck delivery lane behind the neighboring shopping center and are not <br />in public view. Planning Division staff continues to support such screening and <br />recommends simply requiring that the material be maintained or replaced with other <br />screening products allowed by the zoning code to ensure adequate screening in the future, <br />but the Planning Commission might wish to consider requiring a more permanent form of <br />screening (e.g., a masonry wall or a wood or vinyl fence) since this application represents <br />the more permanent approval of the coND�TlotvAL UsE. <br />6.O STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of this report, the <br />Planning Division recommends approval of the request for a coND�T�oNA�, usE to allow <br />the continuation of the outdoor storage use, subject to the following conditions: <br />a. The outdoor storage area shall continue to be adequately screened as viewed from <br />County Road C and similar screening shall be installed on other sides of the <br />storage area if and when the adjacent properties are redeveloped in some way that <br />allows increased visibility of the storage area; <br />b. Boats that are un-wrapped and in working condition may be displayed for sale in <br />a display area along the south side of the screened/fenced storage area so as to be <br />visible from County Road C, but all wrapped and/or inoperable boats shall be <br />kept within the screened storage area; and <br />c. The storage and display locations shall be limited to the respective areas <br />identified on the site plan (included with this staff report as Attachment C) <br />reviewed with this application. <br />%.O SUGGESTED ACTION <br />By motion, recommend approval of the proposed coNnrr�oNAL usE for RECO Real <br />Estate, LLC and Boater's Outlet to allow the outdoor storage of boats at 1705 County <br />Road C, based on the comments and findings of Sections 4 and 5 and the conditions of <br />Section 6 of this report. <br />Prepared by: Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd (651-792-7073) <br />Attachments: A: Area map C: Site plan <br />B: Aerial photo <br />PF09-025 RPCA 100709 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />
