As outlined in the staff report, Mr. Paschke noted the <br />131 <br />storage of semi-trailers is requested for Blue Box in the rear of the parking lot, <br />132 <br />containing seasonal goods from Goodwill Industries or empty trailers stored on <br />133 <br />site. <br />134 <br />Mr. Paschke reported that, as part of the process, the open house held for this <br />135 <br />request had incorporated the broader notification area as authorized as a pilot <br />136 <br />program recommended by the Zoning Notification Task Force, and included <br />137 <br />property owners as well as renters and tenants of that same 500’, mostly involving <br />138 <br />industrial facilities.

Mr. Paschke noted <br />147 <br />each site was monitored by staff on a period basis to ensure they were in <br />148 <br />compliance with the provisions and conditions of those individual IU’s.
