National Construction Rentals; PLN2006-00 101 2 Apri12, 2007 Recommendation: The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the following: 1. Modification to the Planned Development for Bayside Business Park (PLN2002-00031) to include Outdoor Storage as a conditionally permitted use; 2. Approve outdoor storage specific to National Construction Rentals (to include power poles, cyclone fencing, portable toilets, and metal containers stacked two-high); 3. Site Plan Review for a new office building and a mechanics building on the merged lots D & E at Bayside Business Park. BACKGROUND . Bayside Business Park is a nine-lot industrial park subdivision (eight lots for building development, plus a ninth lot that incorporates the private roads and onsite wetlands mitigation area) that was approved by the City Council in late 2002. It is located in proximity to the Davis Street Transfer Station (located to the west and zoned IG Industrial General) and the City's Water Pollution Control Plant (located to the north and zoned PS Public Service). Additional uses in the area include a variety of industrial/manufacturing uses and scrap metal dealers, and are zoned IG Industrial General. . The first building in the new subdivision was constructed for FedEx Ground, which is located at the rear (south) of the subdivision on the former Lot H. Subsequent to that development, the developer constructed three building shells at the north end of the subdivision (Buildings A-C) with the intent of selling them to prospective new tenants. Former Building A was purchased and received a conditional use permit in late 2004 (PLN2004-00092) for a wholesale furniture operation, whose core business is warehousing and delivery of home improvement goods to retailers and designers throughout the United States. The applicants for Building A also received approval for ancillary retail sales up to six times per year. Building B was purchased and occupied in mid-200S by a business that assembles and installs large pieces of medical equipment that are shipped from overseas (no planning entitlement was required for this use). Building C was purchased and occupied in mid-2006 by Calligaris USA, Inc. after approval of a use permit (PLN2006-00029) to operate a wholesale furniture distribution warehouse operation. Calligaris is a furniture design and manufacturing business based in Northern Italy and is not open to the public (sells only to retailers). The four interior lots, D, E, F & G remain vacant and undeveloped. Current City Council Policy Not applicable Previous City Council Action Not applicable
