PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial and manufacturing uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on March 8, 2012.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District will bring an existing industrial facility into zoning conformance. The proposal only allows less objectionable manufacturing uses, parking, office and limited commercial uses. Given that this is an existing industrial building on a street already developed primarily with industry, Staff supports deviating from the land use recommendations of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009) which calls for multi-unit dwellings on this site. The proposal is consistent with the established zoning and development patterns of the area.
