Request for approval of outdoor storage at 41 Commerce Way, I zone, per Section 3.15 and 6.1.5.2. Section 3.15 covers all commercial and industrial outdoor storage, and requires that storage of any material outside of a building is prohibited if such storage is visible from any public street, and that any outside storage is subject to approval by the Commission to insure the character of the area is not destroyed. Section 6.1.5.2 is specific to the Industrial zone, and requires that storage or display of any material outside a building is prohibited if such storage or display is visible off the individually developed site. 2. The storage area is approximately 100 feet x 100 feet, surrounded by slatted chain link fencing on three sides. Impervious coverage will be increased from about 45% to about 48% with the addition of gravel. 3. The proposed storage area will eliminate 16 parking spaces, leaving about 8 spaces, according to the red-lined plan submitted. The required parking for this building per zoning regulations is 7 spaces for the office portion of the building, and 10 spaces for the remainder of the building, total of 17 spaces required, so the conversion of the parking lot into outdoor storage will require granting of a parking waiver for 9 spaces. Vehicles do appear to park within the parking lot that will be converted to outdoor storage. Staff is somewhat concerned that conversion of the parking lot to outdoor storage could create a parking problem on site. The applicant should be aware that all parking needs for this business need to be accommodated on site; on-street parking is not permitted. If this application is approved, the Planning Dept. has no requested modifications. Application for Site Plan Revision F.J.
