The applicant, Linder Financial Resources is currently operating in the existing building at this location. The request is to remodel the existing space and add an addition onto the building to meet the needs of the business. The site has access off Highway 7 West. It appears there is an easement in place for access off HWY 7, since this property does not have a direct access to HWY 7. There are 16 parking spaces noted on the site plan, including one accessible space. The City requires at least 15 spaces. The site is currently almost 100% impervious surface. The applicant is going to add landscaping around the building per the attached plans. The site generally drains towards the rear (south). The City owns open space/parkland to the south and this area also has a pond. The amount of water going to this area will not change as the site is currently already almost 100% impervious. The site is less than 1-acre so on-site ponding is not required. Additionally, a building permit will be required for all of the proposed improvements. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following conditions: 1. The proposed building and site improvements shall comply with the standards of the I/C zoning district and the Zoning Ordinance, as well as all other City regulations. 2. A building permit is required for the project. 3. The parking stalls are required to be striped and the size and quantity will be required to meet City Code.
