� ...� LJ CASE NUI•1BER: 83-1470 APPLICANT: Margolis Brothers Company � 2 November 1983 Page 2 4. You will notice that the provisions of the special use in the �rdinance stipulate that �ny new structure shall not exceecl 500 square �eet, The proposed structure will be 1,250 s�uare feet. The Ordinance also states that the structure shall be 50 feet from the nearest lot line, and in this case �he building appears to be approxim ately 25 feet from the lot line. In vizw of the considerable distance that the proposed structure will be from the single family area to the north and east, the size of the �roposed structure may not be significant in this case. Likewise, the distance from the lot line may not be �ritical inasmuch as there is cansiderable folliage on the park property contiguous to the westerly line of the property in question. 5. The principal concern here may be with respect �o the long-term use of the p,roperty. Mr, Margolis has indicated that he feels the Iand should be zoned commercial. This i_dea was discussed at some length at the time of the issu�nce of the previous special use permit. The propriety of the commercial zone in this location could well be questianable inasmuch as it lies in an area surroundPd by single family (R-1) zoning and thus could be considered a classic case of spot zoni.ng. � 6. The ap�licanf: has indicated that the building is proposed to be "temporary" Perhaps one of the key issues in this proposal is the intent of the "temporary" classification for the structure. 7. The site as currently used, is occupied by a considerable number of vehicles including trucks. I� may well be true that the placing of some of these vehicles in a garage will not adversely effect the aesthetic quality of the site. If additional structures are added in the .future, however, the property will tend to take on a commercial appearance not intended in the wording of the provisions for the special use. The Planning Commission and Council may wish to consider a condition relating to the possible permanent occupancy of the land �or the current use and/or the p�tential development of additional structures on the property. Such conditions may include a limitation on the life of this structure in its proposed location, and/or a limitation on the development of additional structures or parking facilities on the land. 8• Property owners within 350 feet of the periphery of the property have been notified of the special use permit application. Such persons who may chose to a�tend thE hearing may be able to contribute to the evaluation of the praposal anc� possible limitations on the use.
