Of that, the parking and drives and <br />storage areas will occupy 33,542 square feet, <br />or 100 percent of the site. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: A check of the Agency's maps indicates that no <br />public wells, wetlands, flood or environmental <br />hazard areas are present. <br />SITE PLAN: The site plan is preliminary. <br />AGENCY COMMENTS: <br />PRELIMINARY <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the information available prior to <br />the public hearing, the Staff recommends that <br />this petition be sent to the Common Council <br />with a favorable recommendation, subject to a <br />Final Site Plan. There is "D" Light <br />Industrial zoning to the west and "C" <br />Commercial zoning to the east of the site. In <br />most cases, the Staff would not recommend the <br />encroachment of industrial zoning into a <br />residential area, however, this small 1 block <br />area is in a state of transition where long <br />term residential viability is questionable. <br />
