Title
NATHAN KIENHOLZ REQUESTS CONSIDERATION OF A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT TO LOCATE A SNOW CONE STAND IN THE HOMELAND PARKING LOT AT 2600 WEST ROBINSON STREET.
Body
SYNOPSIS: The applicant is seeking approval to temporarily locate a snow cone stand on an area adjacent to the existing Homeland Grocery located at the southwest corner of 24th Avenue N.W. and Robinson Street. This commercially zoned area is platted with an existing grocery store and a gas station on-site. The City requires that all temporary buildings be removed from the site after a 180-day period; the applicant has agreed to this condition. Employees and customers have permission to use the restroom facilities in the grocery store located on the same site.
ANALYSIS:
APPEARANCE: The Zoning Ordinance requires that new commercial buildings, including accessory buildings above 108 square feet, be constructed of masonry materials in the commercially zoned districts. This structure is a 10' x 12' temporary snow cone stand with a composition siding. Due to its size, the building would not be exempt from the masonry requirement; however, since it is a temporary building approval of this request will allow a variance to the masonry requirement. The applicant has been made aware of the Commercial Outdoor Lighting Standards and agrees to either not use additional exterior lighting on the building; or if lighting is needed, the applicant will install compliant lighting as required by the Ordinance.
LOCATION: The proposed location of the building is on the north side of the lot and clear of any sight distance requirements.
PARKING: The site is fully paved, and parking is adequate to support all existing uses.
SEASONAL USE: Like all temporary buildings, this building will be removed after the 180-day permit expires and, if desired, resume operation next year in the same location.
SIGNS: The applicant has proposed signs which comply with the requirements of the ordinance.
