<br />Ruan Leasing Co., Case No. 2209 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Policy Considerations <br /> <br />Every interim use application can and should be considered <br />and decided on its own merit. Since every situation and <br />application is unique, concern over setting a precedent <br />through the approval of an interim use permit is not the <br />same as in other types of discretionary approvals. Very <br />clearly, the applicant is asking for an opportunity to use <br />this site in a manner that is not allowed by current <br />zoning. The City can obviously deny the application with <br />no other reason than its inconsistency with the Zoning <br />Code. The City could also attach whatever conditions it <br />feels necessary to make the proposal acceptable, and the <br />applicant can decide whether or not to proceed with these <br />conditions. <br /> <br />4 . SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION <br /> <br />This application is truly a judgment call. There is no <br />question that the proposed use should not be approved on a <br />permanent basis on the property. It is inconsistent with <br />the zoning and could be summarily rejected with virtually <br />no further discussion. The arguments against the proposal <br />are basic and essentially irrefutable. There are also <br />other property owners with an investment in the area and <br />you will want to hear from them before making your <br />decisions. <br /> <br />Arguments in favor of the proposal are as follows. The <br />proposed interim use would only be allowed to operate <br />while the ongoing efforts to market and develop the <br />property continue. If an acceptable development proposal <br />were to come on the scene before the interim use permit <br />expired, the interim use permit would be terminated. In <br />the meantime, the site would be kept clean and orderly and <br />be put to some productive use. It would provide an <br />opportunity for Mr. Brainard to start a business that <br />would employ 6 to 8 people and could grow into a permanent <br />member of the Roseville business community. <br /> <br />If the Planning Commission and city council were to decide <br />to look favorably on the proposal, we would offer the <br />following conditions: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />A maximum number of trucks to be located on the <br />at anyone time should be established; <br /> <br />site <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />The applicant shall commit to keeping the weeds <br />on the site, litter picked up, and storage should <br />limited to designated areas; <br /> <br />cut <br />be <br />
