Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to develop the subject 2.13-acre site as a contractor’s garage facility composed of two (2) single-story buildings totaling 24,000 sq. ft. Each building houses ten (10) individual tenant spaces-eight (8) 25’ x 40’ (1,000 sq. ft.) units and two (2) 50’ x 40’ (2,000 sq. ft.) units.

The applicant also seeks approval of the use of smooth-finished corrugated metal panel as a conditional material to be used as the primary exterior building material.
