RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: DENIAL
PLANNING COMMISSION: APPROVAL w/ CONDITIONS
PLANNING STAFF: DENIAL
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The intent of the Light Industrial Character Area is to identify areas appropriate for industrial type uses. The location of these areas shall preserve the appeal and appearance of residential and commercial areas from the prospective intrusion of light industrial land uses. These areas consist of areas used in low intensity manufacturing, including wholesale trade, and distribution activities that do not generate excessive noise, vibration, air pollution or other nuisance characteristics. The proposed site does not meet the intent of the Light Industrial Character Area. Therefore, staff’s recommendation for this application is ‘Denial’.
