<br />REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 08/13/97 <br />ITEM NO: 6(d) <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Approved: Agenda Section: <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc., request for an interim use permit <br />to allow a secured exterior storage area on NSP property on County <br />Road C2 (PF#2937). <br /> <br />1JJ. REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 Belair Builders is requesting an interim use permit to allow a secured exterior trailer <br />storage area for Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. on property owned by Northern <br />States Power along County Road C2. Requests for interim use permits are <br />processed in the same manner as conditional use permit. <br /> <br />1,2 The interim use permit process for this request allows the City to consider interim <br />uses which might not be consistent with the land use designated in the City's <br />comprehensive plan or might fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for <br />the zoning district within which it is located. In reviewing the interim use permit <br />application, the City will establish a specific date or event which will terminate the <br />use on the property. The process also allows the City to impose those conditions <br />it considers necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. In <br />considering the request, the City gives consideration to the compatibility with <br />adjoining properties; impacts on traffic, public facilities, and property values; and <br />impact on the general health, safety, and public welfare. <br /> <br />2J1 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />2.1 Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. has a potential lease agreement to develop a <br />secured exterior trailer storage lot on a 1.9 acre parcel, which is owned by Northern <br />States Power. The property is located in an 11, Light Industrial District, and the <br />Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as Industrial. Adjacent land uses <br />include railroad right-of-way and Berger Transfer's secured trailer storage lot to the <br />west, a secured truck and new auto storage lot to the south, a truck wash and fuel <br />station to the east, and the State's vehicle emission facility to the north. <br /> <br />2.2 The site is currently vacant, is overgrown with vegetation, and has become a <br />dumping ground for debris and abandoned vehicles. In addition, underground <br />pipelines and overhead electrical highlines traverse the entire site. <br /> <br />PF#2937 - RPCA (08/13/97) - Page 1 of 3 <br />
