RCA Exhibit A 4�� subject to specific conditions considered reasonable and/or necessary for the protection 4� of the public health, safety, and general welfare. 47 Section 1009.03D of the City Code specifies that three specific findings must be made in arder to 4� approve a proposed interim use: 49 a. The proposed use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the 5� public to take the property in the future. Because the service and storage of boats is similar to 5� the historical use of the subject property for storage and service of buses and semi-trailers, �2 Planning Division staff believes that the continuation of the interim use would not �s significantly exacerbate negative impacts on the land which may have occurred at any time 5�� during the past 40 years or more. 5� b. The proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, and other public 5� facilities. Ten years of outdoor storage use has not proven to impose an excessive burden on �� streets, parks, or other facilities, and Planning Division staff believes that renewed approval 5& will not lead to any increases is such impacts. 59 c. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or othenvise harin 6o the public health, safety, and general welfare. Feedback offered at the applicant's November 6� 17th open house meeting suggests that the outdoor storage use has not been injurious to the 6� surrounding neighborhood or otherwise harmful to the public health, safety, and general 6� welfare, and Planning Division staff has no reason to expect otherwise if the approval is 6 � renewed. 6.: In any case, if an approved interim use fails to conform to any of these requirements or 6�> conditions of the approval and such problems are not ar cannot be reasonably resolved, the City 6�? may initiate a public hearing process to revoke the approval. sb The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed this application at its November 13, 6� 2014, meeting and the screening of the storage area was the only topic of concern. The chain link 7o fence with fabric panels does not conform to the minimum standards for screening, but it was �� supported for Boaters Outlet because it is a temporary use on a property that has been poised for �2 redevelopment. This screening continues to be acceptable for the same reason, but the screening 7;� is absent from the gate and from the small section of fence abutting the building. Fabric panels ��? should be installed in these areas to complete the screening as viewed from County Road C. And �� since redevelopment of the surrounding properties, and the potential for new sight lines from new 7i� public or semi-public locations, seems to be as much a possibility as redevelopment of the 77 subject site, the DRC recommends requiring the remainder of the outdoor storage area to be 7& screened, consistent with the standard screening requirements for outdoor storage uses, by the 79 time redevelopment of any of the surrounding parcels has been completed. 80 PUBLIC COMMENT � � At the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff had not received any additional 8� communications from the public about the interim use request. 83 PLANNING D[VISION RECOMMENDATION 84 Based on the comments and findings outlined above in this report, the Planning Division 85 recommends renewed approval of the proposed interim use, subject to the following conditions: 86 a. The outdoor storage area shall continue to be adequately screened as viewed from County g� Road C. To achieve this, fabric panels shall be installed on the gate and on the section of PF09-025 RPCA 120314 Page 3 of 4
