(NOTE: This item was CONTINUED from September 15, 2016 per the Applicant's request.)
Body
Issue/Request:
This application is for a special use permit for heavy equipment sales and rental at 20 & 50 SE 29th Terrace. Bledsoe Rental formerly occupied the space at 20 SE 29th Terrace under a special use permit granted for a time period of 20 years for equipment rental and propane and concrete sales (Ord. #6381). Bledsoe Rental has since ceased doing business at this location. The applicant requests a new special use permit to include both 20 and 50 SE 29th Terrace for Sunbelt Rentals. The applicant proposes to expand the existing storage yard by approximately 0.50 acres onto the vacant property to the east. The applicant requests approval of modifications to the following requirements: a minimum thirty (30) foot setback from all property lines for all structures and vehicles for sale, lease or rental; and the requirement that all display or storage areas be paved. Staff supports both modification requests. The applicant requests a special use permit for a time period of 20 years. Staff supports the requested time period.
