Background: These applications were considered by the Planning Commission on November 13, 2008, and were unanimously (5-0) recommended for approval.
Staff informed the Commission that one public comment letter was received from the east adjacent property owner that identified the following concerns: light glare; noise; and request for a chain link fence with privacy slats to be placed between the two parcels.
Jim Wilson of Carlton Engineering, applicant's agent, stated that they had looked at the parking issues for the project and felt that since each unit has a roll-up door, the potential uses would be more industrial-related, which does not generate a large amount of public parking. There was extensive discussion between the applicant's agent and the Planning Commission on parking concerns.
